Try a different cable. Try leaving it on playing songs till it's dead and keep turning it on till it will not turn on any more. Then try charging it. If you are charging via USB into a PC or laptop try charging it via a wall socket and the plug it came with. You could have a bad cable. If you have not AC adapter to charge with try charging on another PC. If you have no other PC try a different USB port

Most mp3 players have a lithium battery, which doesn't like being fully discharged. (so i don't agree with the advice to run it flat, and then try recharging it.) it sounds like yours is at least partially dead, and you can try to disassemble it, and replace the battery.

opening them up is sometimes difficult (some are glued or heat-welded shut), and some batteries are soldered in, so you will need a soldering iron and some skills. but the good news is that replacement batteries can be had very cheaply (~$5) online, just make sure that they say "free shipping" (or the s&h will cost a lot more than the battery).

or just accept that we live in a throwaway society and buy another one.

I can not turn it on

hi.
Try to charge it up, check if you can see the battery icon being charge.
If you do, wait for about half an hour then try to turn it on.

My ipod wont hold a charge. It keeps going out

How are you charging it?, if your charging it on the computer it slowly decreases the batery life everytime you charge it ( as in it last for 5 hours to 4 and a half) so i suggest you start using a wall charger in future :)

Under a full charge the mp3 shows only 1/2 charge3d

I have over 10 years experience in electronic tech support.

How long is the charge lasting? If you're only getting half of the battery life you use to get, then the unit needs to be repaired. I can do more research into your model, but normally there isn't a way to change the battery charge display. Please let me know if you're still getting full battery life even though the display is only showing half.

I'll use the information you provide to assist you further. I look forward to hearing from you.

MP3 player not working

Connect your HDD/GoGear to the power supply with the AC/DC adapter, do a soft reset by pressing and holding the 051024111737_406.gif and the volume + keys at the same time for a couple of seconds, then switch on the Jukebox with the 051024111737_407.gif button normally.
