THANK YOU for this great thread!
I thought my H120 to be lost after 10 years, when I dropped it and the harddrive was broken. Couldn't afford another MK GAL somewhat for like 300.-. I didn't even have Rockbox installed, so I couldn't go Runrunrun's way, I needed a HD first to install the Rockbox-Bootloader.
Now recently, a friend phoned me up, saying he once saw me still using my good ol' IRiver and that he found his old broken H140 when he mucked out his drawers, that he had regrets just throwing it away, asking if I had any use for it. How beautiful is that?!
The HardDrive was louder than a chainsaw, but worked and my IRiver is now officially Rockboxed. Now I'm waiting for the Adapter and the CF-Card to arrive.
I really would like to repair his H140 in return for his favour, but the switch that corresponds with the play-button is somehow crushed, so it's not possible to turn-on the device. Has anybody experience with repairing defective buttons?
Now go Adapter, go CF-Card, and finally go again IRiver, for another 10 Years!
