The HDD (Hard Disc) within the Device is defective and needs to be changed.
Due to the fact that you have taken on a “non-original” iriver Firmware, in this case the modified “rockbox” Firmware, the repair of the player is not covered by warranty.
Please kindly notice, that all kind of modification causes an expiring of the warranty of your iriver player.
Therefore we have to charge a total of 170,- Euro (including the spare parts, working hours and shipping costs) for the repair.
Please let us know within the next four weeks, if you want us to repair the player under these conditions.
Otherwise the device will be returned without a repair to our discharge.
My h140 should have more than a year of warranty left.
So be careful with your hdd...

No, just be smart enough to remove Rockbox before you send it in
.
And if you can't remove it, at least know that your warranty is void and that it's therefore pointless to try and send your player in for RMA.
As for it being expensive; 40 Euro for an authorised repair + Shipping sounds great to me
