I have a missil A-920 mp3 player and it needs to be charged before i can power it up. i have it plugged into the usb port and the power button is on. it has been there for several hours and when i remove it from the computer to turn it on it will not turn on. am i doing something wrong here?

These made in China MP4 players are quite budget ... however,I'vemanaged to get mine working just fine. Just follow these steps:

1.Charge the unit. (These things come with a dead power supply, soyou'llhave to to charge it with the provided USB cable... or any cablesuch asone that works with a camera. you'll not be able to load it orturn iton until this has been done. 3 hours later your computer willdetect newhardware (USB mass storage device) and install theappropriate drivers.

2. Loading MP3's... there are 2 ways to go about this...

a) If you have the latest Windows media player click on the SYNC tab and follow the directions.

b)Open "My Computer" you should be able to see a new drive (probablyE: F:or G:) double click to expand it, you should see a bunch offolders,simply drag and drop your MP3s to the Music folder.

3.Converting and Loading Video: The included program that comes withthesecheap-*** players is a bag of $#@! so dont even bother with it.

The best program to convert videos to work on this thing can be found HERE

-Pick the first one (note:this file is zipped so will need to extract it),
pick up a trial version of WinRar HERE

-Once extracted, go ahead and run the program...click ADD

Choose your input file, and output path,

Youwill need to know the resolution of your screen. Under Playertype,choose SUNPLUS AVI and select the video resolution of yourMissil, 30frames/sec and the best sound/video quality and hit start.

- this process takes a while (30-60 min) depending on file size.

- Once complete, simply drag and drop (cut and paste) the converted file to to the VIDEO folder on the players drive.

3.Finally disconnect the player from the computer, it will say"pleasewait.. building playlist" once this is done you're good to go


I hope this has been helpful... and please... dont forget to rate this solution.

I have the same one when you plug it in to the computer you do not need to turn on the player just plug it in it will charge .

Nesecito saber programa de mp3 missil a 920

I have an 8 gb missil mp3 player and the LCD display lights up when i plug it into a USB port to charge. I have noticed that only certain usb ports will work though so try another port maybe. Perhaps your motherboard isnt connected to the usb peripherals on the front of your tower so try the usb ports on the back for the best results. You should also install latest drivers for your motherboard. peace.

Ok Maybe you need to turn it on again or put music on it and it will work it trust me it does!!!

I have a Missil SD-2801 8g mp4 player and it needs to be in the off position to charge. It will not charge when the unit is on.

Yes you can use it as a voice recorder. I just bought mine (love it) so I'm pretty new to it. I've installed all the programs (media manager, AMV Player/Import) so lets see.
Go into Record on the menu and simply push the play button and talk. When you're done, hold menu and it'll take you back to the main menu. Now go in to the Play Record Files (shortened but I can't think of the name) and you should be able to find your recording. Pretty neat if you ask me.
As for the guy with the charging problem, try to take it out. Then do it again. I don't really know because mine worked perfectly. Try plugging it in the USB without it being on. Then let it charge which should turn it on by it's self. Or hold the Menu button and finally if that doesn't work, hold the play button.
Sorry JC I haven't a clue as to what you're talking about.
