Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard

Double-click the removable USB device that your computer now sees and here you will have to browse to see where your player will accept the media; likely, right here will work. 4. Now, just copy & paste mp3 files from your pc to your media player/removable USB device. 5. When done, safely remove the player from the computer.
