Have you tried resetting the player by turning on the player and then pressing the 'Off' key for at least 10 seconds? Richard

I had this problem when my Lyra PDP2842U was in warranty and it was repaired. Nothing I did would get it to work. If yours is out of warranty then I suspect a official repair is out of the question cost wise and reapiring yourself looks to be a no goer. Selling on ebay as a spares or repair looks to be the only way to go (or buy another with a screen/HDD fault). Or take a look here - seem to quite a few with HDD errors who might want to sell cheap.

You need a new battery.This is fairly straight forward replacement.But high voltages exist inside case.Case is opened from the back after removing the two visible screws.It is held on with doublesided tape so you need to carefully prise open using a sharp blade where it joins the silver/chrome centre flang.Good luck!Battery sits above the hard drive wrapped in a sponge layer.

Whoa, i've been so busy lately, I almost forgot about this place... Unfortunately, this is yet another mp3 player HDD problem. It's broken and there is nothing you can do to fix it except replace the hard drive. I hate to tell you this, but your songs are lost. If you desperately must try everything to get the songs back, I would suggest freezing it in the freezer (put it in a plastic bag if you fear moisture getting into the unit). After removing it from the freezer, you'll have a one to two hour window to try to get all the songs off before the hard drive thaws and you won't have access to the songs anymore unless you refreeze it-the window will shorten everytime you do this. The reason freezing MIGHT work is because most hard drive failure problems deal with the actuator arm touching/scratching the platter in which case the platter is being damaged and/or information cannot be read correctly. The coldness causes the arm to contract and stop touching the hard drive. Be aware that there might be more damage than freezing can rectify and the actuator arm might not be the problem. But hey, it's worth a try. If that seems a bit extreme(and indeed it is), you can send it in to a hard drive recovery specialist such as one listed here: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Hardware/Storage/Data_Recovery/

Check that you have power at the outlet, (by plugging something else in), and check that nothing has chewed the supply lead. After that I would say that the power supply inside the unit has died. Pull it apart and check the voltage(s) with a multimeter but, only if you have some electrical know how and equipment.

I could not find manual for your device. You can find the manual of similar device from THOMSON Mp3 Player User Manuals Download ' ManualsLib A solution is already available on fixya SOLVED: Thomson lyra 6675 Flash Mp3 Player 2GB - Fixya

There is no way. The alarm is electronic. The only thing you might try is spraying the alarm buttons with electrical contact cleaner.You could contact them and see if they would repair it.https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/05/00/21/30/500213070.pdf..

Hello Jan, tell us what model is your portable CD player Thomson I wait your answer Greetings Franco Dosil Hola Jan, comenta que modelo es tu portable CD player Thomson Espero tu respuesta Saludos Franco Dosil

Murdo's tip to trim off the cover of the AA battery base to expose a few mm of metal is spot on. Replacement rechargeable batteries for my Thomson wireless headphones did not charge, no green light, utterly frustrating, till I read Murdho's suggestion. Thanks for that

A "Remote code" for what "device" to talk to your thomson x101b??

http://www.thomsonaudiovideo.eu/ It might be a french product . Not sure if you need to speak french but you could ask them if there is a user manual ? Maybe use a translator web site and put french in as well in your request .
