My trio v2rd mp3 player wont show up on my computer?

Several hours, it depends upon how flat the battery was before you started charging. The player may have a battery indicator that indicates the amount of charge in the battery.

If the MP3 player 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% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

For some reasons, trios **** at charging. Your trio probably isn't charging at all for some reason, like mine won't right now. I think they might be pieces of ****!

There is a trick to charging the battery in these small mp3 players. It wont charge if it is turned on, and it won't charges if it's turned off. Here what to do...
1. plug the payer into your USB port. or wall charger
2. switch thje palyer 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.

When you plug the mp3 player in, look at the battery meter. If its not "loading" its not charging. If it is "loading" its charging. Well it worked for me. Hope it works for you. :)

Try to find the charger and plug it in the MP3. Maybe the charger you have to pLUG IN one end to the computer and the other part to the MP3.

As long as your stereo has a usb port to plug your usb cable to it any player should charge off it. I have not seen one that wont charge off a usb port. You an even buy a wall charger that is a converter for you usb player so taht you can charge it without needing a computer. hope this helps

When charging, you have to leave it on, or it will look like it's charging but will not actually charge.

if it has a battery, the battery could be shot.

battery wont charge fully
