Replacing Sony NW-A1000 battery

I have a replacement battery for my Sony NW-A1000. Anyone know how to remove the back of the device to access the battery? (I've successfully removed the plastic front cover but not the metal back cover.)

Using a pair of pliers grab the silver loop on the back of that player. This is pulled up and backwards at an angle. it is held on by an adhesive pad. Once that is off the back just slots off like many mobile phone backs. Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!

Sony NW-A1000 will not play,

If you get the spinning disc error on your sony nw a1000 it means the hardrive is knackerd.
The hardrive in the sony NW A1000 is a segate ST1.2 6gb and these can be bought off ebay for around £8. If you can't find a 6gb one you can fit an 8gb hardrive BUT your NW A1000 will only use 6gb of it.

If you search on the internet you can find instructions on how to remove the back cover of your NW A1000 which is very easy to do! You then unplug the hardrive (be very careful!) and replace it with the new seagate hardrive. Turn the NW A1000 on and go to the home menu, select "settings", then select "intialize disc" and it will format your new hardrive so that it can work with NW A1000.

Artist Link

Sorry to hear about your problem.

The only solution I can suggest is not easy and you need to be confident around electronics.

The following web-site shows how to dismantle a Sony NW-A1000 player:

http://www.fogma.co.uk/electronics/337.html

At this point, you could try getting your artist-link button back into place, or just remove it.

I really don't see any other option here. The cavity of the button is too small and awkward to yank it out from the outside, and not butcher your player's case. Good luck! And remember, if you have to open the case, thousands have done it before you!
