I have a visual land mp3 player (VL-535) which was purchased from ebay brand new. I have had it for 8 months and it has worked well but would ocassionally turn itself off without warning even though it had a full charge... yesterday it stopped working completely and will not switch on or be properly recognised by any computers when plugged into the usb port. I have tried different usb cables and can not reformat it so basically its stuffed! And it will cost me $19 U.S to send to the company and another $19 to have it sent back.. I live in Australia..so I might aswell buy a new player!!
