uhm if you still have the discs the mp3 player came with put them in the laptop or just download windows media player then it should work

This model only works with its own proprietary adapter, and I believe that Philips ran out sometime in 2008. You can double-check Fox International to see if they have any left, or you can find one on eBay (here's one for $1.35 - Philips would have charged $35.00):

This model had a proprietary USB cable - it doesn't work with just any USB cable (also, it does not work with Windows Vista, or with Windows Media Player 10). Your computer has to be running Windows XP, and you have to be using Windows Media Player 10. here is an auction for the proprietary USB cable (may end at any time):

Battery is too low for player to charge. There is a firmware fix for this at www.p4c.philips.com

Fix cannot be applied until player is working again.

If you know someone who has the same player, put their battery in your unit to power up and apply firmware update to fix problem. Then swap batteries back again

Another way to get the player working is to remove the side panel to disconnect battery. Plug in the mains charger and reconnect the battery. You may need to do this several times before the player springs into life.
If this doesn't work try disconnecting the charger and battery alternately and wait 5 secs between attempts.

You haven't ruined the player.

Why not simply try charging it up, I assume it came with a charger? Other than that I do not know

Try re-formatting it on your computer and then reinstalling the firmware with a program from the philips website.
