1) Test your MP Player for it’s real Capacity

If your MP Player is not working properly, will not store the advertised capacity, you need to find out what the real size is. Do to this, you need to use a software programme to avoid taking the drive apart to decode the flash drive chip.

You can search the internet for a program called flashnul v 0.9

It can be used to detect the real capacity of the player. It is a command line utility. Use “flashnul.exe disk_letter: -T” to determine real memory capacity.

Or you can use H2testw 1.4, which we normally recommend to people. See: H2testw 1.4 – Gold Standard In Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives You will find information and download links in that guide.

2) Find The Software You need

If you found out that you have a lower capacity then what was advertised, you have a fake. For example, a 16GB that turns out to be only 2GB. It means the MP Player was digitally altered to lie about it’s real size. To repair a fake MP Player, you need to restore it’s true size. This is done with a low level reformat using a software tool, not your operating system. The hard part – finding the low level reformatting software you need. The best place for this is at myMPxPlayer.org. This site is geared to MP Players.
