Then is would suggest to format it and put some new songs on it.

technologue , you'll need to open the player to identify the processor's serial number first.

The firmware probably crashed, resulting in it being unable to play any music.

It is likely not Actions chipset based, no recover.

No way to open this strange mp3 player, there is no screws and the only way to open it is to crash it.
