Hello,

from my experience, I think your player is having a power problem. It must have received excess voltage/irregular power supply which has damaged an IC or capacitor on the power board of the player.

Sometimes this excess power supply might damage the player's main board. This is why it is advice able that you use step down for your player, because DVD player don't need excess power as something might be damaged.

To solve this problem, you will be needing a meter. Open the player, use the meter to read the components on the power board as it will help you discover the component that got damaged and you can then replace the bad component.

But if you do not have the knowledge of fixing this problem, you might be needing the help of a service technician.


Take care.

My mp3 isnt charging right

Make sure the hold/lock is not engaged
Try another USB port
Reset the player

If that fails:
Download the newest version of the Philips Device Manager:
www.usasupport.philips.com - change your country/language as needed
Enter in your exact model #
Click on the link for your exact model #
Click on the Software & Drivers section
Click on "Firmware Upgrade Software"
Install the new Device Manager
Open and run the "Repair" tab

If still nothing:
Disconnect the Go Gear from computer. Press the reset pinhole until the player turns 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. If this pop-up does not appear, reset the player again WHILE connected to the computer. Open the Philips Device Manager, and go to Repair Tab. Reset the player one more time while connected to computer. Follow the repair instructions.

After repair is complete, upgrade the firmware for this player. Will erase all the songs, but you should be good to go again.


If these methods fail, call Philips to see if you are still in-warranty.

CANNOT DOWNLOAD VIDEOS ON MY PHILIPS SA5285/37 PLAYER

You must use the Philips (Arcosft) Media Converter to convert the videos. The program cannot recognize FLV files, so you will need to get a free program called Riva FLV Encoder to convert the FLV's to AVI first. Then the Philips Media Converter will recognize the files.

PHILIPS GO GEAR

Uninstall the device and software completely first, and then reinstall it. If that still fails, get the firmware upgrade from Philips website - will reload. Note: this player is not compat with Vista or Macintosh.

Stops at Go Gear

This is usually caused by corrupt firmware.

nstall and run the Philips Device Manager from the product CD.

Select the repair / restore option, and follow the on-screen prompts.

This will format the player and re-flash the firmware.

Note: All tracks on the player will be deleted.

If this doesn't work, then leave a comment on this page, because there is one more thing you can try.

Player isnt connected to computer

Make sure you are running Windows XP & Windows Media Player 10.

If you have already rolled back from Media Player 11 to 10, make sure you also uninstall Media Player 11 Runtime fro the add/remove programs list.

Philips mp3 play isnt working

WARNING!! THERE IS NO WAY TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITHOUT LOSING ALL OF YUOR SAVED MUSIC. I reread my instruction manual, and it says to hold down the power button and the volume button at the same time. This will cause a shut down/immediate reset. Your MP3 should come back on in a few seconds. When I did this, I had alrealy lost all of my music, so that part didn't really matter. (By the way, I never have gotten my music back, even though the 'My Computer' function on my PC tells me it's still there, when I disconnect from the USB and try to access it, there's nothing there.)
