PHILIPS GOGEAR HDD060 DOES NOT TURN ON

Here's a better solution - no offense, silly girl. First, find out if the computer will recognize the GoGear when you plug it in. If so, then use the Repair function in the Philips Device Manager.
If the computer doesn't recognize the player: Disconnect the GoGear from the computer, and turn the player off. Hold in the volume + button and continue to hold it as you re-plug the GoGear back into the computer. After 45 seconds to one minute, Windows will go into recovery mode and resucitate your player.

Also, the number for the Manufacturer - Philips - is
1-866-PHI-LIPS (or was it 1-888? - one of these is an adult line, the other is not) :-)

If you had it for 2 years or more then its not surprising that the battery would start acting up.
some specialty stores make a living out of supplying custom batteries for PDAs, since the originals cost half as much as a new one, but they're not always so easy to find.

Try leaving it charging for 24hrs, and don't touch it. If it doesn't solve it then that's it, unless you manage getting a relpacement battery. Personally I would think 5 times before buying anything with an internal battery.

Good Luck!

I bought one a couple of years ago, and I found it doesnt like heat of any kind. It's as if it shorts out when it heats up.

this sucks it doesnt want to not even turn on or flicker

Battery is too low for player to charge. There is a firmware fix for this at www.p4c.philips.com

Fix cannot be applied until player is working again.

If you know someone who has the same player, put their battery in your unit to power up and apply firmware update to fix problem. Then swap batteries back again

Another way to get the player working is to remove the side panel to disconnect battery. Plug in the mains charger and reconnect the battery. You may need to do this several times before the player springs into life.
If this doesn't work try disconnecting the charger and battery alternately and wait 5 secs between attempts.

mine is acting the same way but i only got it last xmas 2006 has yours worked yet or have u found a new battery
