Can a charger used for a blue tooth charge a sony mp3 player as if it were connected to the computer usb port?

Hi,

The NWZ-E435F Walkman Player can be recharged by connecting it to the running Computer USB port using the supplied USB Cable.The Battery icon will get displayed and indicates the icon during charging.
However, you can try using the AC-U501AD USB charging adapter for charging the Walkman player.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Some things to check for when your player does not act like its taking a charge. USB Cable Make sure that the USB cable is properly plugged in and use the original cable that came with your player. Computer in Hibernation mode Make sure the computer isn't entering hibernation or sleep mode while the device is connected. The computer must be ON in order to charge your player. USB Port 2.0 Make sure the player is connected to a USB 2.0 port (1.1 occasionally causes charging problems). USB Port location Try plugging into different USB ports (i.e. USB port in the back of the computer); occasionally the front USB ports have limited power to charge up the device. Battery Make sure the battery is fully charged. It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery. Latest firmware Depending on what player you have, make sure it's up to date with the latest firmware. AC charger (optional) AC chargers (sold separately) have a 500-1000 milliamp max output, which provides much better charging ability than a USB port.

I have some tips posted here on MP3 players and their problems. Connection problems MP3 player not found by computer

What you will need to do when mp3 player does not charge. First use another charger to test if it's the charger is working properly.

And secondly After testing for charger, and still it does not charge, that means the charging port on the mp3 player where the charger is been plugged in is not working properly. You will need to replace the charging port.
Alternately you can charge it from your computer by using USB cable. It automatically charges when connected to a USB port

Make sure that the USB cable is properly plugged in and use the original cable that came with your player.

I don't have this particular player, but most portable players can be charged by two methods. One is to plug it into your computer via USB, the other is to connect it to an AC adapter.

If you use the first method, be aware that some players need to be plugged into a "high power" USB port in order to charge. Most computers and laptops have a mix of high power and low power USB ports. High power USB ports are typically located on the back panel of the computer.

If you want to connect it to an AC adapter, there are many adapters out there you can use. You might want to Google for "NWZ-E344 charger".

I had the same problem. Don't buy a new cord. There is a sony place in winnipeg you can get it fixed there.

pretty much all mp3 players can do that, you could just find a cord that will let you plug it into a wall plugin, I use a cord i got with a blue tooth ear piece to charge my mp3 player =P

Hello vabs008,

The Sony MP3 player in question appears to come with ear bud headphones, an ear bud extension cord, USB cable, and software CD-ROM. It does not appear to come with a charger and would require that you have a device with a USB port to provide power to the unit. However you can add an aftermarket USB AC adapter such as this one to allow charging without connection to a computer.
