Tried a different cable from walmart, brought it into work, crossed my legs and patted my tummy while whistling a ditty and still no dice.
From the research I have done over on misticriver looks like a dead battery. It is in a constant loop of going from black screen to the blue iriver screen but never getting past that screen. Bummer. Of course it turned on when I met the guy. But it had a low charge. Once that ran down with me fiddling with the settings no more worky.
Claude on the board is selling me his H120 though and when I get around to it I will see if I can rehab this H320.
