Re: MP# IS MESSED UP
Refer to FAQ on this issue on the Philips website. When this fails, Make sure you back up all songs on the GoGear before attempting this solution. 1) Back up all files on the GoGear 2) Open up Philips Device Manager (Start --> All Programs --> Philips) 3) Click on the Repair Tab, and look for a msg that says connect the player while holding the volume + button 4) Disconnect the GoGear from the computer and turn the GoGear off - hold in the volume + button and continue to hold it as you reconnect the GoGear to the computer; after holding the volume + button for up to 20 or 30 seconds, a window will open up saying that your device is being repaired (now you can let go of the volume + button); after the repair is successfully complete, your GoGear will be good as new Now you can do the firmware upgrade that will prevent this problem from occuring in the future. Open up Philips Device Manager and click the Update tab. This problem was caused because most GoGear's were designed for Windows XP with Media Player 10 (which is no longer the latest standard). -Tha Mp3 Doctor

Turn on MP3 player
Go to Setup > System > USB MODE Put the USB MODE to MSC
Reconnect to the computer
Your computer should then recognize the MP3 player.
1. Check you USB cable properly connected to the you computer, If cable break or not connected properly, It will show your cable not recognized.
2. If again these problem shows. go to,
My Computer - right click - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager - and Unistall you USB drivers - then again scan new hardware.
If it just froze up, there's a reset button at the back/bottom, I used a staple if a paperclip isnt available. The reset button did nothing to solve my problem of only getting a screen showing "COBY" but maybe it'll help you.
I'm assuming you actually want to format the mp 3 player. To do that plug into computer click computer right click the drive the mp is plugged into and press format. All data would be deleted.
you can try fomatting it.to do so plug it and open my computer.go to the drive of the mp3 and right click it.in the sub menu click format(to foramt it you have to be administrator)(also be sure backup all of your music,videos,pictures,and anything that you want to save.) hope it helps-
Sounds like to me you got yourself in a bit of trouble, but luckily I maybe able to help you out ;)
Connect your mp3 player to your computer. Go to My Computer and look for the mp3 player, it should show up as a removable disk. Next, right click on the removable disk and select explore. This should open a folder containing the contents of your mp3 player. You will see folders labeled music, images, videos, ect.... Find the images you want to delete, which should be in the folder images. Click on the image(s) and right click it, then select delete.
try connecting the device to your computer, go to 'start' button, go to 'my computer' right click the 'removable disk' drive, click format, and follow formatting instructions. this will erase all the data on the device, disconnect mp3 player ,reset the device with reset hole on the back of the unit. reset whole actually renews the firmware on it, so it should restore the screen.
please format the mp and after formtting then right click the mp icom in my computer, then click on tools then click on the check box of scan for and attempt recovery of bad sector and lastly click on start button
1. Turn on Mp3 player, goto Settings, make sure USB mode is set to MSC or USB Device 2. Connect MP3 player to the computer 3. Go to Start button, under Start, go to My Computer 4.
