MP3 Player: My MP3 player won't turn on once I remove the charger.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 09:15:10 -0700

I can listen to my Sylvania SMP2200 2GB MP3 Player when it is charging, but once it unplug it it stops and the light won't turn on. I know it has to be fully charged to play, but it was charging all night. Any tips?

MP3 Player: Where to find a battery replacement?

Sun, 04 May 2025 07:41:15 -0700

Hey guys... I'm looking for a battery replacement for my Philips GoGear Vibe Mp3 player.

Here's how it looks like: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxnOK5...

So I'm basically need a compatible battery that would fit this small space of about 2.4mm width, 3.5mm height and 4mm thick.

I've been looking all over the place and found some similar batteries in China but the shipping costs more than a new Mp3 player.

I'm from Romania so if you know any place where I could get such a battery from Europe or somewhere close I would be really grateful!

Thanks in advance,

Cristian

MP3 Player: My Sony Walkman Lithium Battery Has a Hole in the Outer Wrapper

Sat, 02 Jul 2022 18:20:17 -0700

While trying to open my Sony Walkman NWZ-E453, I accidentally punctured the outer wrapper of the battery as seen below (Yes, I know that all the iFixit guides warn about this).

It isn't very visible in the image, but there is a small hole.

Can I just put tape over the hole or do I need to buy a replacement battery? If so, where could I buy one (I tried to look for one but couldn't find the right one).

Thanks in advance for all answers

P.S. The battery isn't very good anymore anyways, so it doesn't matter if I have to replace it.

P.P.S. Here's a picture of the other side so you can see all the numbers:

Sandisk Sansa Clip: Can I replace or repair the plug jack on my sansa clip

Sun, 25 Dec 2016 03:36:56 -0700

My mp3 player will only play one channel unless I wiggle the plug around , find the sweet spot, and then hold it there. I have tried multiple head phones, patch cords, head units, and speakers that work fine with other sources, so the problem must be with the jack. Can it be replaced or repaired?

Microsoft Zune HD: Where can I find replacement parts?

I have a zune hd that took a hit in a skateboarding accident. The device is fine except for the ribbon cable that connects the audio output jack. Where can I find a new jack / ribbon? (4 solder points and I'm good to go! If I could only find the part.)

I think I can make it work with small gauge wire... but I'd rather have the actual part. Any advice?

My Sansa Clip Plus doesn't hold a charge anymore. I'd like to replace the battery but I can't find any battery on internet.

Does anyone know where I can find a new battery for this MP3 player (which is not available anymore, except at 100$ on Ebay (WTF!!!)) ?
