Hello,
Free access to button functions for the SA178.
Check the
HOLD button: slide it downwards, see button 3:

This player has a built in battery.
Charge for about 4 hours until
the battery indication stops blinking.
See page 4 (=3) of the manual:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/s/sa178_17/sa178_17_dfu_eng.pdf
Slide the USB connector completely into the player after charging.
Player charged and both LOCK and HOLD button released and the device refuses to function:
Reset the player, pressing the
RESET button 4 gently with a narrow object.
Should the player not react after the previous handling,
reinstall the matching firmware.
When reinstalling firmware all data on the player will be erased !
Backup data when required, before performing a firmware reinstallation.
Entering SA178 in the product selector gives next page:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpproduct_selector.pl?slg=ENG&searchtxt=SA178
View and remember the exact model number.
1. Enter your country in the top right, where it says "any country".
2. Enter the exact model number in the left column.
After that, your matching model number support page shows up.
See for Software and Drivers link in the left column.
