My sony walkman d-ne320 atrac3plus mp3 keeps blinking hold i tried buttons and taking battery out,

hi cecelia, most portable cd players will have a feature to lock/hold the fuctioning of buttons/switches. to unlock plz look for a tiny slide switch around the body of the unit or beneath the unit. if one cannot be found then look thru your user manual for an unlock feature via the menu/settings buttons etc of the unit.

I'm sorry that the Walkman Player is not turning ON normally and displaying "HOLD" message. The "HOLD" message indicates that the Walkman player is set to HOLD mode by sliding the HOLD button on the right side. Please make sure that the HOLD switch is not activated.

If the issue persists after moving it from HOLD position, please reset the Walkman player by pressing the reset button using a sharp pointed object. The reset button is located on the rear of the unit.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarification.

How Do I Fix My Sony MP3 Player That Froze & Won't Turn On?

Sony Walkman MP3 players, like most MP3 players, can occasionally freeze up and stop working properly. Fortunately, there are two simple ways of resetting the Walkman system. The first method takes only 10 to 15 seconds to complete and is an effective way to troubleshoot most technical problems you may have with your Walkman. The second method, unfortunately, may take several hours; it requires you to allow the battery to drain completely. Whatever the problem is that's causing your MP3 player to freeze, one or both of these methods should clear it up.

Instructions


Things You'll Need:

* Paperclip
* Walkman MP3 player charger



Reset Button

Straighten the paperclip and set it aside for now.
Locate the reset button on your Sony MP3 player. On most models, it can be found near the volume control mechanism.
Insert the end of the paperclip into the reset button and hold it down for three to five seconds. When the screen flickers, you'll know that the MP3 player's system has been reset.
Remove the paperclip and wait for the system to reboot.


Battery Drain

Turn on your MP3 player.
Let the battery's life deplete. Since the system is frozen and no music is being played, this will take longer than usual.
Check that the battery is completely depleted. Sometimes the screen just goes dark during this process, but the battery is not actually drained. You can check this by pushing buttons or trying to power up the system.
Connect your MP3 player to its charger and plug it in to a power source. Allow the MP3 player to fully recharge.

Power on the MP3 player. The system should be operating normally again.

Please specify in detail, if you meant that the CD is not running or the disc is not read then the chances of the optical head being faulty is very high.
Use an ear bud to clean the lens of the optical head and try.
If there is no action the head can be defective.

the only thing i can think of from preventing this problem again is to put the device on hold....use the hold button on the side and you should not have to qorry about it turning on on it own & low battery ever again

the hold button is on the bottom - just flip it

Can someone please tell me how i can replace the battery on my Sony NW-A3000?
