Mp3 player My mp3 player will not charge. I have been charging it for 2 days and when i unplug it from the charger it won't play. It still says the battery is dead. The mp3 player is 2 months old.

If the recharageable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and graduallythe charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The batteryshows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops offto zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptablecharge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

There is a trick to charging the battery in these small mp3 players. It won't charge if it is turned on, and it won't charges if it's turned off. Here's what to do...
1. plug the player into your USB port. or wall charger
2. switch the player on using the mechanical switch (on the side)
3. turn it off by either holding down the play button, or selecting "System" from the menu
4. The screen will go black and the battery will begin charging.
That is if the battery is still chargeable after all this time. The battery may well require replacing.

The battery wire inside may have broken off...its a common problem in sansa clip...if you are comfortable opening it up,you need to solder the wire into place correctly...

Friend, the power switch is damage thats why the charger acted as switch. replace the power switch

when you plug a charger to your mp3 it plays, because you power from a charger, part of current goes to aset and make it play and also charge your battery.
when you unplug it from charger than battery does not manage to provide power to set.
get a meter and set at amps dc. and check your battery current out side.
i suspect that your battery is not holding charge.

it does not seems to charge / or turn ON either from the computer or when plugged to an electrical outlet to the wall. Red light is still ON after the whole night . What's wrong ?? Can you please HELP - CODY STELLER MINE IS A 4 GIGA BITE MP4 PLEASE HELP ONLY

It is very likely your battery is used up, if it still plays music while on the charger. If it can play on the charger you need a new battery.

Yes your battery capacity is below standard you'll need to take the battery out and measure its capacity and if its below 3v then you will need to rejuvenate it.
