Question about Sony NW-A1000 MP3 Player

Sony NW-A1000 Hi, Recently my mp3 player will not switch on fully. I thought it was the battery but the red light on the adapter will not come on when its plugged into a socket or into my laptop. When I do plug it into my laptop I get the message 'USB device not recognised'. When i try to put it on it looks like its about to start (I get the 1st screen, your music your life, and thats all) up but then switches off. The reset button has no effect at all. Ive reinstalled the software and downloaded everything relevant from their websitebut nothing. The software keeps shutting down too. Any suggestions?

Maybe the mp3 player is dead.. but.. you should install the firmware update for it.. because maybe the mp3 player ROM has a defect..

How do I re charge battery with electrical plug

To charge the battery using your computer:
Connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB port on your computer using the included iPod shuffle Dock. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode (some models of Macintosh can charge iPod shuffle while in sleep mode). When the battery is charging, the status light on iPod shuffle is orange. When the battery is fully charged, the status light turns green.
If you don't see the status light, iPod shuffle might not be connected to a high-power USB port. Try another USB port on your computer.

To charge the battery using an iPod USB Power Adapter If you do not have then you have to buy the same from Apple Store) 1 Connect the AC plug adapter to the power adapter (they might already be connected). 2 Plug the USB connector of the iPod shuffle Dock into the power adapter. 3 Plug the power adapter into a working electrical outlet. 4 Put iPod shuffle in the dock. You can disconnect and use iPod shuffle before it is fully charged.

If the red led beside the CHG is flashing or on then the device is charging. If not you may have a faulty charger

Try using new batteries - I was using what I thought were fully charged rechargable NiMH batteries (it's probably at the end of its life ad can no longer hold a charge) with mine and was getting the same error, I switched it out with a new battery and it works fine now.

Does not power on

The tiny LED where you plug the charger in should turn from red to blue when the LYRA is fully charged. If it stays red, I would have to say that you need a new battery. Search for an NP-120 or a D-L17 camera battery on the web. It will work as a replacement.

Sounds like your rechargable battery is done for. You can get a new one at newzenbattery.com and open your player yourself extremely easily by just watching a video or reading how to do it. No damage is done or anything and this seems like an easy fix.

Charge

Charging the Player
The player needs to be charged before it can be used and every time
the battery gets low. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to charge the
Player. Once fully charged, the Player lasts approximately 8 hours.
To charge the Player:
Remove the USB cover on the Player.
Connect the Player to the PC using the Flash Plug.
The Player will begin charging. The battery indicator should begin
to flash, alternating red and green.
Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will stay red.
Note: If this is the first time the Player is connected, wait until
Windows detects the Player and follow the prompts to install it.
