Be careful with rockbox…my older clip no longer works because of rockbox. Not sure how the process went wrong but the result was a dead clip.
You might want to ask for help at the Rockbox forum at rockbox.org, or at the Clip/Rockbox forum at anythingbutipod.com–the knowledgable folks there may have some suggestions for you, to bring your Clip back. Personally, I’d go for it.
