Well, after many hours of fooling with this, I fixed my problem. I tried so many things, I'm not sure what worked. But, try this: 1. insert the cd that came with your mp3 2. in my computer, open up the "PhillipsGoGear" then the "Device Manager". Double click on firmware. 3. copy and paste the FWImage.mif to the "MY C Drive" (that is what my internal mp3 drive was called} 4. reset the unit by holding play and volume up. My player's screen changed to the mp3/computer data transfer image, and everything is working perfect now. Sorry for the comment about the waste of money player. They have problems, but they do sound awesome. geoela

I have the same problem. A tech at Phi;;ips told me to throw it away. It was not fixable. What a waste of $150.00. A piece of crap mp3. Don't buy Phillips. Player is crap and tech support is just as bad. geoela

Depends what OS your computer has. For XP, you do Start_Settings_ControlPanel. In control panel, Open "System" In "System", click first on the "Hardware" tab, then on the "Device Manager" button. The layout on other Operating systems is sometimes a little different, so you might have to fiddle a bit.with the instructions to get there. Once in Device Manager, with the MP3 player plugged in, you need to start looking at the various entries for the player. There are quite likely to be at least three - one under "Disk Drives", one under "Storage Volumes", and one (USB Mass storage device) under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers". Right Click each in turn and select "Properties". Hopefully this will reveal which of the virtual devices isn't working properly, and clicking the associated "Troubleshoot" button will offer you a way ahead. A.

    Very odd. The pc must have seen it in the first place (albeit sensing something wrong) - otherwise you wouldn't have got the original "Start Device Manager".

    Next step is probably to try plugging the player into a different pc, and checking whether it gets detected. If it doesn't, that would suggest a fault in the USB interface on the MP3 player.

If soft reset does not work, then you may have to use the Device Manager to recover your player:
If you have not already installed the Device Manager, follow the on screen instructions to install the Device Manager from the installation CD or download the latest version of the Device Manager application from http://www.philips.com/support.
Make sure all other applications Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer that access the device are closed or else Device Manager will not recognize the device. Launch the Device Manager at Start->Programs->Philips Device Manager on your PC. Select the REPAIR tab on the dialogue box.
Power off the player. Press and hold the "+" key and then connect it to the PC until you are prompted to release the key.
Select the device name and then click OK and REPAIR.
IMPORTANT: All music & content of your device will be erased once the Player is repaired.
Once the repair is complete a dialogue box will pop up; click OK and unplug the Player from the computer.
The Device Manager will close automatically once the success message is displayed. Close all opened application and then unplug your device.
Once the Player is disconnected from the computer, the display will show "Firmware Upgrading" for a couple of seconds and then start up as usual.
Tip: Update your player's firmware to the latest version to reduce the chance of future hang-ups. See "How do I update my player with the latest firmware?" for instructions.

Need help on repairing my Phillips gogear mp3
As far as opening the Philips Device Manager - if it won't pop up automatically, then on a computer running Windows XP, you can go to Start (on your desktop) --> All Programs --> Philips --> Philips Device Manager to open the program.

My player isn't recognized by the Device Manager or Windows Media Player
I was experiencing this similar problem, and from my research so were alot of other people, what finally worked for me was this:

  • Update all the software on your computer via Phillips site
  • Open the Philips Device Manager
  • With the device connected and the 'connected to pc' screen showing on the GoGear, do a 'soft reset' by holding the Power Off + Volume Up buttons for a few seconds
  • As soon as the device restarts itself, hold the Volume Down button, the computer should now recognize the GoGear
  • Follow the onscreen directions to Repair the device
  • Thank the intarwebs.

Recovery Mode for Philips' GoGear
Open the Philips Device Manager (Start à All Programs à Philips Digital Audio Player à SAXXX à Philips Device Manager) and click on the “Repair” tab.  Then click on the “Repair” button to start the repair process.  Most of the time, when your player is in that state, the Device Manager will not recognize that your GoGear is plugged in.  If this is the case: Disconnect the player from the PC, and make sure the mp3 player is turned off. Hold in the volume + button on the mp3 player, and reconnect the player to your pc while holding in the volume + button. Continue holding the volume + for 10-15 seconds until a "Found New Hardware Wizard" pops up. It should recover your device if there isn't anything internally wrong with the player. Warning: this procedure will result in your songs being erased off the player, so they will have to be reloaded.

Install and run the Device Manager software from the product CD.

Select the Repair/Restore option, and follow the on-screen prompts.

If this doesn't work, it may be that the hard disk has packed up.
