IRiver T20 won't recharge

The T20 has a 'built in' battery like most modern mobile phones have. Changing the battery isn't easy, it involves taking the player apart to access the battery. It may be easier to replace the whole MP3 for a new one.

this is problem with your hardware.......

I had the same problem. I reinstall windows media player 11 and now the system recognize my iriver T20!!! When reinstalling WMP 11 i had T20 in the USB Port!

you can change battery and/or upgrade hard drive (if changing hard drive, save the software to pc then copy to new hard drive)

When it is plugged into pc, that is all you will see. If this is happening while disconnected from pc, then reset the player to get past this stage.

Make sure you have the latest version of Windows Media Player. XP has all the right drivers but the iRiver needs to synchronise with Media Player inorder to transfer music onto the player using the sync function. Get Media Player 10 or higher then plug the iRiver into the computer.

XP should display it as a drive in "My Computer". It may require a firmware upgrade. This can be downloaded from T20 Firmware Upgrade V1.71

No Guarantees....Hope this helps.

my iriver t20 shows on display "file check error" and all my folder are disappeared.please help me to solve the problem. thanks for your assistant.

have you tried hitting the reset button when it hangs? You need to use a pin to do so, there's a small hole on the end of the player.

i had the same situation this happens when you dont turn off your t20 after you disconnet it from your pc IRIVERS T2O PROBLEM IS THAT IT AUTOMATICALY TURNS ON EVERY TIME YOU DISCONNET IT FROM PC AND IF YOU DONT TURN IT OFF AFTER THIS - IT FROZES it wont connect to pc after this happens so you have to wait ussualy (~12 hours) until the battery runs low, so after this has happened wait and then after some time try to press play button (to turn it on) and if the battery is dead - it will show LOW BATTERY sign and then you can connect it to your pc again normaly! hope this will help
