I got my Coby a year ago and I never used it but now I would like to. It says that it is charging. It just wont turn on I put songs on it yesterday and I went to go listen to them and the stupid thing wont turn on. What should I do?
Try resetting the device it?s usually a small pinhole on the back or side of the device try holding that in for about 10 seconds IF THIS DOES NOT WORK TRY THIS: Try reflashing the firmware for your device you can find the latest firmware and flashing utilities from the Coby's website. Make sure that you back your music up first because when you do this you are setting it back to factory settings.
It probably has a Lithium Ion battery. This is typical behavior of these kinds of batteries. if left uncharged for a prolonged time they will refuse to charge again. I'm afraid you will have to get a new battery pack if at all possible, or get a new MP3 player. These days you can get a good MP3 player for a very few bucks, I would advise you to just go ahead a get a new one (unless you can get a replacement battery for very very little). and This time, make sure you leave your unit charged when not in use, and from time to time give it a little charge. Lithium Ion batteries have a constand (though very small) drain in power when turned off. don't worry every month or so, just give it a charge. don;t worry if the battery is still full or nearly full, as Lithium Ion batteries have no "memory effect". This way you will ensure they will always be at peak performance.

I was downloading music onto my mp3, and checking to make sure that it was working,and then the power button stopped working. I've always hated the power button because you have to hold it down for a while before it turns on,and sometimes you have to do it a couple times. But now, no matter what I try, it won't turn on. Is it broken?
