My mp3 players dead! help!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

OK... I did the rather silly thing of charging my Mp3 player through my playstation 2's USB line..

Is it possible that a lower voltage USB connection could actually drain a battery.. I don't think the PS2 USB line is meant for mp3 players for some reason..

:(

Sony one..

thing is I had it plugged in all night..

maybe the battery is buggered if the voltage was wrong.. but I would have thought all USB lines had the same voltage..

I'm going to try plugging it in to its proper adapter when I get home.. :(

I did leave it on overnight though.....

its worrying as I bit torrented a load of music that I don't have on CD - well used to have on CD till they got damaged...

so it's going to be hard to replace it this now with my complete lack of download ability...

gah!!

:evil:
