I think i have a solution to your the power not coming on with a charged battery. On the back at the very bottom is a reset button (very tiny), get a saftey pin or tooth pick and press and release. I did this and now i am not hunting down Samsung....Have good day! WhupAzz

My Samsung will not turn on

Here's the deal. I got my Samsung a few days ago from my cousin second hand but he doesn't have the software. Now I tried to turn it on when I got it but it wouldn't so I figured it needed to be charged. Well I connected it to my computer and the whole thing lit up but I noticed that it said it was locked. I tried moving the lil' button on the side of it but it doesn't work at all. When I disconnect it from the charger/USB cable it shuts off and will NOT turn on. Will somebody please tell me what the problem is?

you have to put the image file on it and then when you turn it on it should automatically fix the problem. I had the same problem but i did this and it worked like a charm...

I've had this problem. Windows media player doesn't seem to find it, and I couldn't figure out which file I needed from the site. I have xp, but I'm assuming this might also work for vista. Go to Control Panel. Open System. Click the Hardware tab. Click the Device manager button. Find the yellow question mark labled Samsung YP-K3 and doubble click it. This should open a window that will let you (re)install the driver, which it will find for you after having you set up a few simple options. Hope this helps.

Go to the Samsung's website and download the latest driver for your player and follow the steps below to force install the driver:

1. Look for the icon named "Computer" or "My Computer" and right click on it and select properties, this will open a window named "System Properties".
2. In the system properties windows click on the tab named "Hardware", and Select "Device Manager".
3. On this window you will see all the devices installed on your computer, look for the device not working properly (printer, dvd rom, keyboard, camera, mp3 player, etc), if there is a bigger problem, more likely you will see a cross by it, or an alert stating there is an issue with it.
4. Right click on the device you where having problems with and select uninstall, it will give you a confirmation, press OK
5. Once the device disappeared from the list, click on the menu bar icon that looks like a computer with a magnifying glass this will cause for the system to scan for any devices not registered and will force the re installation of the device.

IF THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH IT FREEZING WHEN YOU SYNC FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO RESET:

Try reflashing the firmware for your device you can find the latest firmware and flashing utilities from the Samsung's website. Make sure that you back your music up first because when you do this you are setting it back to factory settings.
