Reset the thing while its plugged in, wait half a second, unplug it, plug it back in and see what happens.

  • Anonymous Jan 17, 2011

    I find that if you take it out, put it on hold, and then reset it it ends up realising that it can't turn on because it is on hold. Then plug it into the machine, take it off hold, and wait, hopefully this will work.

    If not go to control panel, hardware and sound, device manager. You should get a pop-up window. Find portable devices, walkman should be in this. If it has any symobols near it, you may need to update software - this can be done by right-clicking and selecting "update software".

    Hope this helped! 8D

I've been using my Sony Walkman NWZ-S615F.it seems like my player won't connect to my pc the same one I've always used with it. It ran out of battery and when I connect it it switches on but just says...

The same thing happened with my s616f and I just fixed it today. Connect your walkman to the computer to charge it then when the blue screen pops up heres gonna be that blue line going across the screen(the thing that shows that its loading) then while its loading press and hold the back/home and the option/pwr off buttons until it turns on. Hope it works:)

Stuck on opening screen wont turn off or charge

Learn to reset the device using the method shown on your manual. You can also connect it to the computer to scan the files for any corrupt inactive ones and delete them. i think resetting should solve this issue.Helpful ? Good day

Sony Walkman connection problems

I had a similar problem, mine wouldn’t turn on unless I plugged it in the computer and then it still wouldn’t work!
I found this on Sony’s trouble shooter -
Cause:
Battery is 100% discharged. Therefore, PC's USB with 5V/500mA set up has not enough power to start up the charging process because loading current is greater than the set up, therefore USB is disabled immediately due to sudden current load.
Remedy:
Battery must not be discharged 100%
If it happens then the supplied AC adaptor must be used firstly because it is providing 5V/800mA power. After a couple of minutes the unit can be connected to PC without problem then it can continue the charging during file transfer, etc.
So I bought a USB adapter charger! Plugged it in and now it is working!
HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU!

Wont turn on or off

my firend had the same problem, he lost his charger, so he brought it over to my house, and it seems that it took about 7 minutes for the "e.m.h.i.m." screen to get off and actually start charging, so just plug it in and go do something to amuse yourself for about a half hour and see if anything changed from when you plugged it in, if you still need help, email me at [email protected]

Flashing screen phone won t start up

It is generic software problem and can be easily short out by your nearby technician. This becomes due to mishandle of phone like removal of battery without switching off the phone etc. Sorry but technician will charge u little to reflash your phone. Is this solution helpful to u?
