My Sony Walkman mp3 player won't turn on?

[Unregistered]

ok i had the same exact problem, but i resolved it, my problem was it wouldnt be recognised by my computer or charge or turn on. Whenever i would press a button it would flash a screen displaying walkman and turn off after a second. No matter what button i pressed. So what i did was pressed a button and really quick while the screen displayed the walkman logo i plugged in the usb charger and the logo display stayed on and then i got a tooth pick and pressed the reset button and then hit the power button. Try that it may just work for yours too

yay it worked thanks!!!!!!!!! Ive been trying to get this thing to work for months now. Your a life saver!!!!!!!!!!!!

i tried charging mine with my ps2 and it said it was connected and looked like it was chargeing but when i came back a couple of hours later it was off and would flash the blue screen but than shut off again. i connected it and disconnected it to the computer a couple of times and finally got the charge screen but idk if it will work after

I had the same issues, tried resetting it, and it would not turn on. I 'fixed' it by unscrewing the 2 small screws at the back. i only took the screws out and hit the power button, and it worked. I put the screws back in, and made sure not to tighten them too much.

maybe the screws were too tight, make it was a fluke, who knows.

Hi all, I couldn't turn it on nor was my pc recognising it. I got it working by pressing the reset button in then pressing the option/on button simultaneously. Hope this helps!

I tried everything and the only solution was to take out the two screws and put them back in. Go figure!

What I did after Sony tech support told me to send it in was to plug MP 3 playerinto the USB port, go to SONY web site and download the driver.... Works fine after the driver looks for the MP3 player..
So much for Tech Support....
