Won't charge and can't be seen by computer.

I have Philips PSA 250/17 MP3Max player. I got it from a friend for whom it worked fine. When I downloaded the software to my computer it would not see the songs that were on it. So I opened them with windows explorer and erased the whole file. Apparently I erased the firmware as well. When I unplugged the mp3 player the screen lit up and said,"Firmware update needed" and it had a circle. Now I cannot charge the battery, nor can I get the computer to see it when I plug it in. Since the battery is dead I think it is probably garbage now. If anyone of you experts know what to do I would appreciate. Thanks, Gary

Does it have an external AC outlet? if so, plug it in to your wall AC, plug in to PC and check if it recognizes it, and the get the firmware here: http://www.usasupport.philips.com/productDocuments.html?ProductCode=PSA250/17&subCat=NIKE_PHILIPS_AUDIO_PLAYERS_SU_US_CONSUMER Good luck p.s - if the link is broken go to the philips support find, its east to find there.

It won't connect to my PC, says driver not found

If the volume + method didn't work, then there is some feature about your PC config that is not going to work with this player. you can try the FAQ method on Philips website for when the PC is not recognizing the player, but I've never seen a case where it was successful.

Frozen Menu Screen

If you haven't already tried, do a reset by pressing and holding [UP] & [PLAY/PAUSE] then try connecting again.

If this still doesn't help then the hard disk is probably faulty.

Replacement hard disks are available from www.cheapestelectrical.co.uk

They are not listed on the site, so go to the "About Us" page and contact them by phone or e-mail. Also clarify the model you have:

PSA610 3Gb - Blue
PSA615 6Gb - Grey

The page heading is PSA-615 (3 GB) which is incorrect.
