My mp3 wont charge despite registering that it is

If the MP3 player battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

1) if the light is flashing red then the problems is with the power supply.
2) if blue, when you say it registers the ipod, is it just charging or does the zepplin remote control show any communication to your ipod. (or does it just show that it is charging?)
3) try the rear input to see if that works, if it does, this would point to either your ipod or the docking arm.

if this is a z0/z1 or early z2 model, contact point of sale or b and w service as their are known issues with these models, (if you have not sent it back before, if you have sent it backbefore there should be a two year warranty on the product!)

hope this helps.

The set could have been on shelf for a long period and so it is possible that the battery has developed back emf which makes it difficult to charge to the full level.
Also sometimes the set fails to lock on due to the same reason and also if the threshold of voltage does not come up.
Discharge the battery after it has charged a bit and charge again.Allow the battery to be put for charging for over 24 hours. If there is no registering then you must try and see if the warranty on the new phone is applicable as the base and handset could be out of sync..

I had the same problem and I found a solution to make it work but do this ONLY as a last resort because this ERASES all of your files and you will have to download them again. Plug your mp3 into the computer. If your mp3 doesn't register on the computer then hold down the start button on the mp3 and hit the RESET button on the back of the mp3 with a toothpick. Once it registers on the computer, hit the start button on the computer, click on Computer, then go to the drive that is associated with your mp3. Right click on that drive. Click on Restore Device Defaults. I am not a pro but this worked for me. Good luck!

Walkman mp3 wont recharge and I am doing it the same way I have been doing it for the last two years, except this time the walkman wont react, anybody with this problem? please lets us know how to solve it.

the battery is dead use a car charger it worked on my creative zen stone plus and ipod touch. the car should charge it

On the mp3 player, switch between the Usb and Mtp mode (The M button) on the side of the player.

sounds like the battery has been allowed to discharge totally this is not good for certain types of battery despite what some people may think.. some modern bateries require at least a residual charge to keep it healthy enough to receive a whole charge

First make sure your blue tooth is 100%charged, go into the bluetooth settings and make sure it is registered on the device

Could be corrupt firmware.

Install and run Philips Device Manager from the product CD.

Select the Repair / Restore option.

Press and hold [VOL+] on the player whilst connecting to the PC, and follow the on-screen prompts.
