recently purchased one Sport In-Ear MP3 Player from http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00548.

This worth me 22$ (I knew it, Cheap products are always dicy. But i had planned it for my sports regime.)


So far i have tried to format the usb audio player (mp3 player as i call it) from fat 32 tontfs even to ext3 from backtrack.

But things have come to no avail.The Result is the same!

I had recieved this product without any installation cd/dvd . Just this product and usb cable for charging , as they dont provide one.

Did you try on another Pc?

Yeah i tried it on my lappy too, but same error comes . As i insert my usb mp3 in windows , it simply reboots after showing a blue screen memory error.

I had tried many things like for eg , i formatted my mp3 usb still same problem continous. Isnt their any USB FLASH drive repair disk , that can check the memory problem.

It seems a malfunction of the USB susbsystem : you got to know what controller is being used and then see what is possible. Even a HW malfunction is possible. Anyway it's not worth to loose too much time on a 20$ thing, simply RMA it if possible.

Bro black , im a lil noob in Hardware side . whats RMA and how to do it. Besides if suppose there is no hardware problem , pls devise some methods i can use , to take chance. I know its not worth doing so much on a 20$ cheap stuff. But no harm in trying

RMA = return the player and have it replaced under warranty.
