Wow this is great to read. Ok guys, i have the iRiver H340,
recently ' killed it ' as it were. It was by accident plugged in the the wrong charger for not even 5 seconds or so, the screen went white - and that was all.
After trying to power it up on its own ( got only a white screen ) and by external battery pack after this charger mishap. Still the white screen and after about a minute on external battery.....the unit was real warm in hand and getting warmer and the smell of over heating. Took a chance of plugging it in to the correct charger for a minute and same ..........real warm and over heat smell.
So now it is currently in pieces. Here are some pics of front and back PCB
There seems to be 14 of those black cube caps with the white bar on one side. 6 on the back, 8 on the front.
Near the yellow plastic piece ( on first thumbnail pic - the back shot ) which is where the power connects, the 8 pin 4 sided chip above it seems messed up. Which part is that ? Is it worth looking closely ?
We do not own an Ohmmeter tho
We were able to easily salvage the HDD and use it in another device
But if the H340 is pretty simple to repair then its worth a go.
Much Appreciated for the help
