if you look at last months postings theres all the
info you could need on replacing drives & which to
choose.

i'm surprised you could miss it as there's so much.

it might be worth checking you battery connections as
this fault would obviously replicate that of low
battery power.
all the info on connections will be on the rockbox
site.

also look on newmp3technology web site for all the
info about your error/connections:
