Hi,

After 9 months of problem-free use, I've suddenly got a brick....

I've been getting my normal battery life (approx. 25 hours), but yesterday I turned the player on - nothing. Just tried charging, and got the "charging" display for about 10 seconds, then it went dead. Tried again with both sub-packs and my cradle - still nothing. No red light displayed on the player either. Nothing happens when connected to pc.

Followed all the advice on this thread:

- no joy. Can't charge via USB either (never tried that before - have v2.07e firmware).

Looks like my patient is critical!

Any advice appreciated. I bought the player in Switzerland, so I guess it'll be sent to Germany for repairs. I've heard good things about their efficiency there, but the thought of being without my baby for any length of time makes me want to[cry].

Thanks[help]

Sorry for bumping my own thread, but I discovered that the adapter was fine, so I've RMAd the player.

Jst wondered if anyone else has had this problem?
