Well, I opened it up, didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I tried swiping the chip to no avail. Not sure what happened to it.

Darn, at least you tried.

no sign of life at all?

Nothing at all. I did see the indicator light light up as I was swiping it, but that was it. It's a very dull light, not bright like it should be. All wires, everything seems to be in order. I think there's something fried on it. Wonder what it would cost to send it back and get it fixed? Oh well, the guys at MP4Nation are taking care of it.

Well, I opened it up again, see if I could find anything, and I just don't see it. Took some photos this time, right before my battery died. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it recognized. An interesting thing happened though. I said earlier how the indicator light was dull, compared to an earlier bright light. Well, for the hell of it, I swiped the positive and negative terminals you can see in the photo. When I put it back together, and plugged it back into the charger, the light is bright again. Okay, so it still don't work, lol, but it did something different none the less. :mrgreen:

Actually, I think it's the flux capacitor. :P

There's a separate charger. I've had it plugged in for hours, still doesn't do anything. Oh well, life goes on. I'm sure MP4Nation will take care of it. :wink:

It is the flux capacitor. I had my APAD prize come in dead a while back. Still sits in a box, works while holding the screen real tight. lol I have not cracked it open. i am sure it is just a loose cable.

I don't see any loose cable. It's all good, MP4Nation is taking care of it.
