Well for this particular problem, it does not involve battery charging. The RCA TH1611-A uses removable AAA batteries. And I have the same problem with it. You see I had tried to see if I could play my MP3's directly off of the TV by plugging it in to the USB port on the television itself, and somehow it F'D up the format of my disc in question. and now it just says PEARL, and doesn't even get to the part where it says please wait. I tried to format the disc using available drivers on windows 7, but it says that it cannot format. so now I am downloading the drivers from the link provided on this page, MP3-Drivers.DriverWhiz.com
And have not tried to reinstall drivers yet. I will post after that.

The most common cause is a flat battery. There is a trick to charging the battery in these small mp3 players. It wont charge if it is turned on, and it won't charges if it's turned off. Here what to do...
1. plug the payer into your USB port. or wall charger
2. switch the player on using the mechanical switch (on the side)
3. turn it off by either holding down the play button, or selecting "System" from the menu
4. The screen will go black and the battery will begin charging.

My RCA pearl mp3 player wont turn on. It just goes to the first screen and stays there.

I loved my Pearl but I misused it in a way that destroyed the SW inside. Study the user manual closely.

Rca pearl th1602-a I turn it on all I get is the pearl emblem and it wont turn off. I have to pull the battery to stop.

My solution to a Pearl TH1602-A stuck on the pearl screen:

Download the firmware upgrade from RCA's website, run it.
RCA PEARL FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD window should open.
Remove battery from Pearl, keep out.
Press PLAY and hold while plugging into USB port,
when "initializing" progress bar moves, let go off play button.

On my windows, it installed some software and asked me to reboot. After the reboot I re-ran the Pearl firmware file and about 30 seconds later the start button was now available.

Click it. However, You will loose your music on the internal storage.

Blackberry Pearl wont turn on....

Try taking the battery out for a minute then putting it back in and see if it will turn on. Otherwise the display may be broken, did it get dropped?

Pearl wont do anything

#1. Stop pinching pennies and buy a used cheap ipod on ebay, I bought one myself for Xmas, guess how much. $45 with free shipping, now I'm enjoying it, with mp3 formatted songs I downloaded form youtube.
#2. Google 'RCA Pearl Firmware Upgrade', it will be hard to find, but when you do, download and install it. Note, this solves the problem, but not forever. So I would advise you to bookmark the site, or save the file for future use.
