ok so ive had my iriver for about 1 week/2 weeks now, i bought it off ebay as a manufactured refurbishment and its been great

but just now when i tried to plug it in to my pc and the power outlet it wouldnt turn on, when i put the power cable in i must have not done it right as it wouldnt fit properly so i took it out and put it back in,
now usually theres a green light thats on signifying that its charging, but for some reason its flashing and the iriver wont turn on still, after inspecting further i realised that i can smell burning plastic/soldering coming from within the iriver so unhesitantly took the battery out,

its now sitting on my desk looking rather unhappy and im bloody scared : /

if anyone knows wehat the problem could be/how to solve it my gratitude will be immeasurable.

also i forgot to mention, whenever i plug the battery in it seems to overheat around the power socket

it literally wont turn on no matter how its connected etc.

You might need to setup an RMA. If you fried a circuit on the board of your pmp then there isn't much you can do.

ah right : / yeah it kinda dawned on me that thats what i might've done just now, bit of a bugger.

was gonna ask if there was any way #to fix that at all :P

although i do have a screwdriver...

[silkey2007]

Refurbished goods usually come with a 3 month warrenty period. Just get a new one, I can't see how you would have fried the circuits. Unless you did something stupid with it. Which is unlikely in the first 2 weeks.

My iriver worked fine while it was functional, then after I started using it as a portable hdd (expensive portable hdd eh lol). The thing can only be turned on if I have the power cable plugged in (ie the battery doesnt hold). Thats why i get the flickering yellow light if i try to turn on the player with only the USB connected (need both power and usb).

Just return it, and get a fresh one .
