Refer to the FAQ on this issue on the Philips website.

When that 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).

NOT'''' RESPONDING

Connect your mp3 player to the computer.
Open the Philips Device Manager
Run the Repair function.
If the Device Manager does not recognize the player, connect the player to the computer (while the player is in the OFF position) while holding in the volume + button. Continue holding the vol + button for 5-15 seconds until a window pops up on the computer screen that says Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the directions and it will lead you to do a Repair in the Philips Device Manager.

If this strategy doesn't work, your player is screwed. Call Philips and find out how to get an in-warranty replacement (or take it back to the store).

Sounds like the database has become corrupt. The only cure for this is to restore the player.
This can be caused by shock to the player, not "safely disconnecting" from the PC, or incompatible Windows or Media Player version.

Assuming you player is a Philips HDD1830, install and run the Philips Device Manager from the product CD.

Select the repair/restore option.

Connect the player to the power supply and PC, then follow the on-screen prompts.

This will format the player, and restore the system files.

NOTE: ALL TRACKS WILL BE DELETED.

If you player is an SA6085 or SA6185, then the same method applies, but you will need to press and hold [VOL+] on the player whilst connecting to the PC, until told to let go.

If this doesn't help,, post your model number for more specific help.
