GPX MW3847 doesn't turn on.

I contacted GPX. It's really easy.
With the left side button in the "off" position, press the "play/pause" button in the center of the circle for 3 seconds. It will then turn on. To turn off, do the same thing, and it will display "BYE" on the screen before powering off.
This was NOT in the instruction manual and they admit this was a mistake on their part.

Can't get my 3847 to play

Hi Debbie!
Had same problem. The hold button on the side is not for POWER. To turn ON simply hold down on the play button, but you must make sure the hold button on the left side of the player is in the OFF position first. All the button on the left is for is to hold your song while it is playing so it does get paused or changed.
To turn your player OFF do the same thing, just hold down on the play button it will say stop first and then bye. Again make sure your hold button is in the OFF position.
Hope this helps!

GPX MW3837 Malfunction

Let it recharge for a few hours - when an mp3 player won't turn off, use the reset button instead of letting the power drain down. Actually, i take it back - this is the worst most godawful manual I have ever seen - this is the first Mp3 player I have ever seen without a reset button.

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard

Make sure hold is not engaged

Last ditch effort:

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in.

MY GPX MP3 PLAYER MW3837 WONT SWITCH BACK!!...

The original poster has probably long since tossed the thing, but since I just had to spend time wrangling with one of these, I thought I'd post a reply anyway, for the sake of anybody else who may have to deal with one.

It turns out that this player will happily switch modes to whatever the current driver is looking for. So with the player attached, just go to Device Manager, to "GPX audio player" , to the "Driver" tab, and the "Update driver" button. Choose "Specific Location" on this screen, and "Manually Choose" on the next. There should be two drivers listed here, "MTP Device" and "USB mass storage device", choose the "USB mass storage device". If it complains, tell it yes, I want to install it anyway.

Once it finishes, the players screen should flash off for a moment, and it will reboot itself in USB mode. And then windows will detect two usb drives.

This was in XP Pro SP2.

Wont turn on

Make sure the button on the left side that says on-hold-off is in the off position, then try turning it on by pressing and holding down the play/pause circle button on the front of the mp3 player.
