Find a media player, such as Rhapsody or WMP12, and connect. Your player, if configured correctly, should be seen by the player and transfers can commence.

mp3 generally have a LiPo battery inside. when you left the mp3 on the computer, you probably overcharged it! look if the battery of your mp3 is swelling or not(if at all you are able to open it). now the point is, don't charge it any further or there are chances of the battery exploding. immediately get a NEW LiPo battery along with an appropriate balance charger and use them.

That's not good. If your batteries are full, I would have to lean towards the LCD burned out either from water or vibration... it's really hard to tell without looking at it. If there is a way to reset it, I would try that first, by removing the batteries for a few seconds. If that doesn't work I would take it apart and see for my own eyes what if anything is going on inside, on the circuit board. I could look at it for you. Find me at http://NerdForce.us

Hi,

The FORMAT ERROR message may occur if the Walkman player has been formatted using the format utility in Windows Explorer. To correct this issue, initialize (format) the portable player using the Initialize or Format utility built into your Walkman player.
Home button-->Menu-->Advanced Menu-->Initialize-->Format-->OK.

Reset the unit by pressing the RESET button with a small object such as a paper clip. Reset button is located near the volume buttons.

Check and see if the music files you uploaded are compatable with your mp3 player. For example, your model only supports MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC3 file types.

If this is an old music player or the batteries are old then that could be the problem. The best solution would probably be to get new batteries or a new mp3 player.

uplug battery and plug back in or get new site were your geting music from.

I don't know if this is affected by the 'network' aspect of your player, but this would be the general procedure for MP3 players, where you can view the player as a drive on your computer.

You can format the player using Windows, but there is a complication: Windows defaults to "NTFS" when formatting, but MP3 players normally use FAT32. Before you attempt this, connect the player, and check the 'properties' on the drive that appears. It will probably say "FAT32". In this case, you can go ahead and format the drive, but be sure that you choose "FAT32" from the drop-down list. If you format it NTFS, your player won't be able to read it!
