Thanks again Tony. Yes I did see that picture with the solder joint problem, but it's difficult for me to determine if I have such a problem with mine as I lack the tools here. I suspected that was probably the case and will be bringing it somewhere in a few minutes to have it fixed (if that's indeed the problem).

As for the no songs, please disregard that. It works fine now, I forgot to load a playlist, heh. I guess it lost its previously loaded playlist during the HD problems.

Thanks.
