help with my mp3 player

[riceboy89]

hey i have a rca lyra 20gB mp3 player. problem im having is when i turn it on, the player freezes when its at the initial boot screen. it then makes a clicking noise and a whining noise and remains frozen. my computer will not recognize the player either (through the ubs port of course). the player can be reset by holding the stop button down for 10 seconds. when i do this, it shuts off, but when i let go, the blue initial boot screen shows up again. after a while it just turns off by ittself. any ideas on what could be wrong?

heres the player:


im working on a vid to help explain this better

thanks

yeah i made a video of it, bite me.

edit: if u turn ur speakers up alot, u can hear the buzzing/squeaking.

p.s: i blow some dust off it around the 30 sec mark so dont shit urself if u have the speakers up all the way.

prolly cost you more to fix it (if it is fixable) then get a new mp3 player. Get a flash drive ipod nano or something, they dont mess up like the harddrive ones.
