I removed the battery from my player and it seems to work fine. I am going to order a new battery and see if it was just a fried battery.

Need a charger

MPe players are charged using the supplied USB cable by connecting it to the USB port of a working computer or by a 5 volt USB mains adapter.

Lost charger for samsung yp-k3 2gb mp3

The MP3 player is charged by connecting the supplied USB cable to the MP3 player and then plugging the other end of the USB cable into the USB port of a working computer.
You can also purchase a 5 volt mains USB adapter. Connect the MP3 player and USB cable to this 5 volt mains USB adapter to charge the MP3 player.

Possible had 12 voltz of dc current attatched to stereo wires. the mp3 player stopped and got real warm in the back. now it will not start back up. Did i fry it or just temp. problem? tried the reset...

I would say yes, you have fried your MP3 player. These MP3 payers operate on 5 volts and 12 volts would damage your player beyond repair.

Recharging batt. on emerson mp3 digital media player

if your mp3 player comes with a usb charge cord and has no bulge in the cord, such as would contain some kind of voltage modification electronics, then it's ok.
the reason is: both the motorola charger and the usb port are 5 volts, all usb is 5 volts standard, and the motorola charger is labeled 5 volts right on the unit itself.
The the only possible problem would be if the motorola charger was wired differently. However I have been using my razor charger to charge my Emerson 2GB mp3 player w/no problem.
Plug in the charger with the mp3 player powered up, you should see the battery icon filling up just as if you were using the usb charger.
if you are still to worried to try it , then get a voltage meter and test the polarity (weather positive and negative are the same on the motorola charger as the usb cord when plugged into the computer.

Gogear became dead suddenly

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.
