Fix Broken Element Electronics mp3 player

I purchased one of those small cheap USB 1GB Element Electronic mp3 players from Circuit City. 1 weeks afer purchase the thing would freeze after powering up. Here's how you can fix it under Linux (Windows users might be out of luck).

Plug player into USB. It should auto-mount. Check 'mount -l' and umount the device (it will look something like /dev/sdb1)

Run:
fsck.vfat -a -v /dev/sdb1
