I have a "Wunders" MP3 player. At least that's what it says whet I start it. I dn;t know what happened, one day it simply shut down and wouldn;t open again. I updated it's software, but now instead of 256 MB as it was before, has only 128. What hapenne to the rest? I tried to update it again, but it's still 128 MB. I even formatted it several times, and i can't select more then 128 MB. What can I do?

Hi — quick, practical checklist you can run through before sending the player back.

First, identify whether the player is reporting a smaller partition or the controller is advertising less total flash. On Windows plug it in and open diskmgmt.msc (Disk Management) and then, if needed, run diskpart and list disk to confirm the physical disk size. On Linux use dmesg and fdisk -l. If Disk Management shows the drive as 256 MB but the filesystem is only 128 MB, you can safely delete the partition and recreate one that uses the full disk. If the whole device reports only 128 MB, that points to a controller/firmware change or bad blocks remapped by the player.

Second, try these low-risk checks: try a different USB cable and port; toggle any USB mode setting on the player (some devices present different modes to the PC); and search the manufacturer site for a correct firmware image before attempting a reflash. Firmware updates sometimes repartition or lock out part of the flash; if a reflash from the official vendor is available, follow their steps exactly. If the raw size stays at 128 MB after those checks, the NAND/controller is likely degraded or the firmware permanently changed and you should contact the maker (as suggested) for firmware or RMA options.

For Windows disk tools see the DiskPart docs: DiskPart documentation. For background on how USB mass-storage modes can affect device presentation see: USB mass storage device class.
