Also when I charge, it charges except it never loses the Connected sign and I cant turn it off. Reset is only method. When charging with appropriate charger, now it shows "Charging..." but when I unplug it, it says "Please remove external battery pack" and freezes. Again, reset is only method.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem after I connected my H320 to a cigarette lighter power adapter with the wrong polarity. The hard drive is OK but something else (mother board or one of the chips) are fried and I have had to send it to the Iriver distributor here in Australia. It will cost up to $160 to repair the unit.
I am now going to try and get an original Iriver cigarette lighter power adapter from the Iriver Europe site as the Australian distributor does not import them into Australia. Sometimes I think we may as well live on Mars
My advise is don't stuff around with 3rd party power adapters. Get the genuine article and you can't go wrong.
