Hi poseidonisco,
I would attempt a Repair/Recovery, which will restore your device to factory settings as well as update the firmware and improve functionality of your player.
You can find a lot of valuable information on the Philips Support Site:

After performing the Repair, allow your player to charge for several hours and be sure to practice a regular charging routine. If you have any additional questions, you can chat at the above link or you can reach Consumer Care at 1-888-744-5477.
Hope this helps! If so, let me know by rating this solution. Thanks!
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS:
Use a pen tip or other sharp object to insert the
RESET hole
gently on the side of the player and connect it again to your PC.
If it is still not recognized, your player may be at fault. Try the Philips Device Manager software.
NOTE: Contents will be removed by using the repair function.
