Hi,

I have a mp3/video player with has capacity of 256 MB. I want to increase its size but the problem is that I do not have the flash chips available here, and I do not know up to what size I can use the new chip or the max size supported of the new chip. Can I use a microSD module instead (at present there is no slot), so that memory can be increased from 256mb to say 1 or 2 gb.

also, if possible then what are things which have to be taken care of for installing this type of setup.
 

I think what you are attempting to do has a very low chance of success. It all depends on the controller chip used in the mp3 player. This chip must support an SD card. AND the PCB designer must have routed out the pins to support the SD card. The chances of this are slim. If this model did not support SD, then even if the controller chip supported SD, the PCB designer would not bother routing unused stuff. Your only hope would be that another model in the same product family supported SD AND that the two designs used a common PCB.
