The battery in my RCA Lyra won't hold a charge anymore. Can the device be opened and the battery replaced?

It is entirely possible to open the player and access the battery, however it will not be cost effective as this is a fairly old player and the replacement battery will be near impossible to locate.
as for new MP3 players, I would recommend the Sansa Clip as it has been rated as having exceptional battery and sound quality, it will meet your music needs and can be had for less than $30USD.

Hope this helps.

Battery doesn't hold a charge - 1 hr play from the start - even thought I have charged up to 5 hours

How old is it ?? Try and charge it over night-- It should operate longer than 1 hr. Maybe bring it back for exchange.. ?

Won't turn on unless plugged in

If your unit is around 18months or you are a frequent user (over 500 charge cycles), the inbuilt Li-Ion battery will need replacing as it has probably gone past its useful life and therefore is no longer holding a charge. The internal 'mechanical' HDD is particularly savage on the battery.

RCA LYRA Jukebox RD2840 40GB does not want to turn

Unfortunately, the RD2800 Lyra family (RD2825, RD2826 an RD2840) mp3 players have a frequent problem in the battery circuitry, and there are two tiny integrated circuits that are shorted very frequent.

You will need to check the power adapter prior to confirm that the problem is in the RCA mp3 player.

Using a multimeter in DC voltage setting, check the AC power adapter gives a voltage of around 5.0 VDC. If so, then the mp3 player is fried.

The repair involves to opn it, and replace the damaged integrated cicuits. Only a qualified technician with tools and parts cando it.

RCA approved repair centers charge $125.00 for such repair.

If you will look for a cheapest way to fix it, you can contact in ebay to the seller with ID Great_items_2004

The battery for Lyra RD2840 is a built in Lithium Ion Polymer Rechargeable Battery. It doesn't say removable as with other MP3 players.I believe, you will need to bring the mp3 player to the manufacturer's service center to have its battery replaced. =(
