Hello to all staff of samsung, I was playing my MP3 player samsung yp 35h normally, and then I decided to see the menu in the device just to know. I pressed the buttom format and then all the information is gone. Now, when I try to turn on my device, just say.. Please Reformat. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Probably the display is off. Go to Settings and change 'Display Off' setting to 'Display On'. I have attached a link to a PCMag review of your player to help you.

Samsung YP U3

Hello,

Support page overview for all YP-K3 players:

Select the matching device from the list.

On the next page select the tab Downloads :

For computer software EMODIO and MULTIMEDIA STUDIO select Software and download the required execute file.

Firmware for the player can be selected under Firmware: download the zip file and look under Description how to perform the update.

LCD broken,

I have Windows XP and Media Player 10.

I had same problem with Samsung media studio not recognizing MP3 player. Here is how I fixed it. With the MP3 plugged in, I had to go into System/ Hardware/Device Manager and find the S3 driver under "Windows portable Media" and uninstall it. Then unplug and replug the S3 into the usb so that driver gets reinstalled.

Then I decided windows media player and samsung media studio are unnecessary for transferring music files to MP3 player.

Instead I go into Portable Media Devices from the control panel and just treat the MP3 player like a usb device. I copy folders of music and songs into the Music folder on the MP3. For me this is way easier than the Samsung music studio or Windows Media player.

Error C00D1236 virtually always indicates one of two things:

1) The device is trying to sync hidden files--are there any?
2) There is licensed media that is being synced, and the license is either corrupt or has expired. If you have any licensed media, then try going back to where you purchased it (in an iTunes-like music management program? In WMP?) and refresh/renew the license.

The bad news is that until C00D1236 is resolved, you can't sync your device.

You can bypass syncing, and directly transfer files, In my computer, the mp3 plaer will be shown as a drive.

Now if one of the two solutions above is not feasible for u, try this:
