RCA OPAL M4002 MP3 Player Problem (by 13 users)

Report abuse


I have a M4002 OPAL MP3 Player that I have only recently purchased. The problem that I am having is that the MP# player does not show up on my computer. I have tried to use Yahoo Music and synchronizing using Windows media player, but they both tell me that there is no device. I have gone through the device manager and tried to update the drives as well as reinstall the driver. The device manager says that the device is working properly, but I still cannot load/unload music onto the player at all.

install windows media player 11, I had the same issue and this was the only way it would show up on my own pc. Also, if the screen on the mp3 player goes black, just hit the reset button on the back and I had to use a straight pin to press the button. A little fyi.

just install windows media player 11 and you should be all set to go and if it won't cut on try the reset button. Both of these solutions worked on my pc and opal. Good luck!

The Opal shows up just like a USB or other removeable "hard drive" in Windows Explorer. And, in fact, you can "drag'n'drop" MP3 folders with the usual artist-album-tracks filesystem hierarchy onto an open Opal "hard-drive" Explorer window and the files will "sync" (read "copy") onto the Opal through the USB connection. You can then navigate the music in any of the usual ways on the Opal. The "music management" software is just (in my opinion too complicated) "bells and whistles" that is really unnecessary for getting files onto and back off of your Opal...

If you go to my computer and you see a icon that says opal or removable disk (E:), (F:). Click on it and then click on [Internal Storage]. all you have to do is drag and drop or copy files in this folder. note: You have to convert the videos with the program provided and you could only put music in folders.

try going to control panel and run "add hardware" while the mp3 is plugged in.

That solution is useless. The whole problem is that the device ISN'T showing up.
