My YP-K3 won't turn on

I recently bought a new YP-K3 and it will not turn on, all it does is charge. Also, whenever I attempt to install the portable device onto my computer it doesn't work and comes up with : "An error occured during the installation of the device The specified service does not exist as an installed service." The portable device does not come up at all on the Samsung studio.

    I just received a Samsung YP-K3 for my birthday 2 days ago. It was working properly when I received it. Today, my battery died and I had put it on the charger. When I took it off the charger, it will not cut on. I pressed reset and the power button simultaneously, and to no avail, it did not work. So what should I do??

Do you have mediaplayer 10 or 11 installed?

Media player 11 is seriously screwed up software and will cause your computer not to recognise the player
.
You will need to remove ALL traces of media player 11 from you computer.

How to make computer identify your device

I had a problem with my YP-K3 when i lost the installation cd as my computer no longer identified the device when i plugged it in, to solve this (on windows XP) go to
1: control panel
2:add hardware
3:connect your hardware device and click "yes i have connected the hardware"
4:scroll down and select install new hardware device
5:select install hardware that i manually select from a list
6:scroll down to windows portable devices
7:and choose MTP device
this should make it so your mp3 player is now recognised by the computer
hope it works

My Yp-K3 won't turn on!!!

I had the same problem happen to me. Just press your reset button (on the back--right below the manufacturer label) I used a safety pin to push it and it will turn back on. The cool thing is by resetting it you won't lose all the stuff you already had on it.

Well, I hope this helped.

Unable to connect to computer

Does you player have media player 11 installed? If it does you need to completely uninstall all traces of it and install media player 10 installed.

YP-KR

I couldn't get the icon for the portable device either. I solved the problem by going to the Control Panel; used Add Hardware; and followed the prompts. I used the original Samsung K3 CD. And it worked! Good luck

Brand new Samsung YP-K3 charging FOREVER..

well have had my k3 die on me once, pressed reset on the back and it worked again (this in the it doing nothing anymore case) as for the cgarging thing try it on another computer, when I charge my k3 at work it charges all day but I don';t get a full battery, at home I charge it for bout 2 to 4 hours to get full battery. I think it has something to do with ho many things u have connected to ur usb ports or how much output ur computer gives to ur usb, maybe it goes to like a lower voltage to preserve electricity, no idea how to change this but unplug unneccecary things.
