Sony Walkman NWZ-S616F MP3 Player Logo
Posted on Dec 21, 2008

I have a NWZ-5616F 4 gig Sony Walkman. Unfortunately, I dropped it into the snow! I tried drying it off as best I could, and it worked for me after. Now it is working, but I cannot get any volume. I have checked my headphones and they work properly, and I cannot get the volume meter to come up on my mp3 player. I am hopeful that I am able to salvage my mp3 player. HELP!!!

It sounds like the volume button got wet and now the contacts inside are corroded enough that they dont make contact anymore.. can you remove the 2 screws under the little sticker on the back and open it up? - If so and you can clean them that sounds like the problem.

By mistake i had drop my ipod in water and now its not working. does sony will repair it at some cost

Once a device has fallen into water and the battery stays powered it can damage the delicate circuit within the unit. So it is best to remove the battery at the earliest and try to clean and dry.
please check with a Sony dealer for estimate after you try these tips:

Dropped my walkman nwz-b133f in water and it turns off when i turn it on

i dropped mine into water too, and at first I think it's hopeless to cure but i still tried because i just bought it several months ago. i tried to dry it with the hair-dryer for about 15-20 mins. it didn't work well right after but 2 days later, it seemed to be normal again. life still has miracles^^
