Insignia NS-4V24 Teardown




You are looking at an Insignia NS-4V24 mp3 player.
This MP3 player would only turn on when a USB cable was inserted. I bricked it after I stupidly followed the advice of a BestBuy rep and attempted to format the flash memory to reset all configuration settings. I decided to tear it apart and posted the pictures here. Overall, I think this MP3 player is an iPod killer. It supports 8GB SDHC cards, it has a built in FM tuner, it supports wireless bluetooth headsets, plays videos, and has a nice 2.4" LCD.
