hello.
your chances are:
1st it is broke and still can be used as a small portable drive(like a tumbdrive) after you have formatted it..
2nd: it is facing internal software problems.
you will have to format it though, but before doing so, copy all the mp3s you don't wont to miss from it.
get the MPIO Manager 2 from

http://www.mpio.com/product/productview_fd100.html?view=d

-then format the player and reinstall the firmware using the manager( you will have to install it on your pc first)
- put some mp3's onto it, unplug from PC
and hit the play button. good luck!

Somthings wrong with the USB cable or the USB port

either you got a faulty surface mount regulator IC or you got a corrupted flash memory. Try pressing play button, then alternately press volume down (-) and Rewind (<<) buttons. When the "FORMAT? Press Menu" appears, press MENU BUTTON. A LOW LEVEL FORMAT will be in progress. When it's done, reload firmware recovery using MPIO Utility. If however you nothing appears on the screen afteryou pushed the play, rewind, and minus buttons,or still it doesn't power up, you've got a faulty regulator IC. It is the five pin chip colored black with the markings "PHK" (use a magnifying lens to confirm) located on the left besides the battery connector (facing up, with the earphone jack on the top). If you had micro soldering skills, then you can remove the chip and replace, if you can find a replacement...

Either the device is bad, the pc port is bad, or the software is faulty. Try connecting to different usb port, then a usb port on a different pc with a compatible os. If still not recognized, then there is physical damage to player.

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

lol thats not how .... switch the hold switch on, press and hold func botton press play while holding then turn on the mpio while holding after that a screen saying"preceed to format? press rec hold for N secs til screen pops up saying that its doing a low level format
