Matrix333 · #1 (**permalink**) 10th Oct 2006, 10:28 am

Hi all,

the player is new and unused. I load up the battery and then tried to turn the player on. But it does not work. It works while it is connectet to the pc or when it is connectet to the battery load. I tried pressing the play button short and long. Switch the Button on top on On and on Off. I pressed the menu long and short.
GRR but nothing does work. I read the manuels and tried it on their way but it does not work

Can anybody help me? Sorry for my bad english, i am german.
And a noob, too

PS: here the player:

When you say "I load up the battery", what does that mean? Does that mean you actually had to install the battery yourself into the player? I wouldn't think so but I just want to check.

Just to confirm, your player will charge while connected to your computer right?

What I'm thinking is maybe your player needs to be charged for awhile before it has enough battery charge in it to be used. How long did you leave it charging for? You can charge it either through PC or through wall charger (though some wall chargers are known to have problems and won't charge anyway).

As a recommendation, always leave the [on/off] switch in the ON position. You can turn your player On and Off by pressing down on the [play/pause] button for about 3 seconds.

Matrix333, It sounds like you may have a faulty battery or a lose battery connection. I suggest you contact your seller and advise them of the problem and a repalcement. If you open the player to check the battery connection you will void your warrenty.

Matrix333 , if it is too expensive to send it back, i advise that probably you get a replacement battery. You mentioned that you can load the battery? If it is similiar to a mobile phone battery, you can go to a mobile phone shop and see if they have a battery with similar size. Be sure to check the voltage output matches your current battery.

I wonder if it's the static around the device that's causing it not the turn on properly? By opening and closing the case, you might have 'released' the static and fixed it...?

That's a possiblity as I've read this on the s1mp3.org site awhile ago.
