Clix fast playback

[riyo84]

I have an Iriver Clix 1-gen which has worked perfectly for a year. I was on the bus yesterday and the tracks started playing too fast. So fast that the vocals sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks. After rebooting, it played the same album perfectly and I thought everything was ok again. But another reboot and it reverted to the problematic fast playback and has only played normally for stretches of :30 to 1:30 at random points.

I've tried the latest firmware (I never upgraded the firmware that came w/ the product) which didn't help and I've tried reformatting and resetting the device a few times to no success as well. Other sudden problems include:

-No reception on the FM tuner
-No audio recording
-No audio at all, just static, when the backlight goes off
-Video playback works but the audio of the video files plays too fast

I have no clue how to fix this and any ideas are welcomed. Thanks!

ps - It was raining at the time but I don't believe any water directly hit the player. However, moisture from the humidity may have seeped into the player, idk.
