All information that you require is within the service manual.

You will have to disassemble the player to get access to the disc before you can remove it.

This is an electret condenser microphone which isn't a standalone self-energising device and needs a small amount of power and a couple of other components to produce a working device. It is possible the Sony microphone might have some, all or none of those built into the package and this will have to be investigated. The power requirement is typically 2 - 3 volts. http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Electret-microphone-circuit.php

The player mechanism is defective.

Assuming you are using a cable to connect your cell phone to the speaker you could be overloading the input of the speaker when you turn the phone volume up very high. That would cause distortion that might damage the speaker so it shuts down or turns off.

Unplug the player from the wall, press power button on the player for about 10seconds and plug in power again.

You can get it from Microsoft

I suspect there is either a problem with the radio (AM side) or most likely it is a matter of poor AM signal strength where you are and/or high levels of interference. With FM reception the wire lead of the earphones acts as a fairly efficient antenna but AM reception is via the internal ferrite rod aerial that also is part of the tuned circuit and consequently is not only highly directional but is sensitive to vertical/horizontal orientation - if the signal is polarised vertical the antenna is more efficient when it too is vertical, unfortunately horizontal polarisation is more common. Development of AM receivers stopped decades ago due to it falling out of favour because of high levels of interference around population centres causing much dissatisfaction and a move to FM and over the last two decades an increased interest in digital radio.
