I purchased an MP4 4Gb player from Hong Kong on eBay back in Sept 2006. Worked fine until I tried to put a film on it, which knocked the memory up to 1.9Gb. The whole thing packed up and refused to play, correctly then started resetting itself. Being a techie, I opened the unit and found that what I had purchased was a 1Gb MP4 player, badged to look like a 4Gb. If you interogate the unit with software, it even shows that it is a 4Gb unit. But just try and exceed 1Gb. To get it to work again, you have to reduce the memory to below 1Gb by deleting music or video files. And it once again works like a dream, okay only a 1Gb dream but what do I expect for £23.00.
If you have similar or worse problems try deleting all your songs and starting again.

those mp4 players are only 1GB in hong-kong system...
the hong-kong equivalent of 4GB is 1GB in England...
keep the file size below 1GB and it will work fine...

my hubby bought me one of those off EBay too and not being a "techie" I couldn't even work out the instructions, they were in broken English so I've not used it that much. I guess as you say it was only £23.00 so I suppose you just get what you pay for Also did you find the ear phones so sore on the ears :)

Yep, this is a widespread scam. Thousands of people got conned, including my husband. The players are actually only 1GB in size, but have been kludged up so they *seem* to be 4GB.
My husband made a complaint through eBay, and they retaliated by claiming he never paid them. Fortunately he still had all his PayPal details.

all of them come from China they're each and every of the craze in case you bypass around the technologies markets obtainable. you employ their application to transform your video. MP4 gamers are very fussy and could no longer play the different form of video.
