How do you reformat samsung YP-Z5 mp3 player?

You can purchase a replacement USB cable for Samsung YP-Z5 MP3 Player from amazon >>LINK

ok open it then take uot the battery that should do it.

Try to take apart the player and disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect, reassemble and try charging it over the USB cable. It appears that some people have had some success after full disconnection of the battery from player. Alternatively, try eBay for a new battery - there are plenty there.

Yes, they only last two to three years.

A search of eBay, a place i look to check availability gives a number available.
Search "Samsung YP-Z5 battery"

If you are able to open up the case You could cut off the existing battery leads close to the battery and join the two wires. Soldering is preferred if you have an insulated tip soldering iron.
Otherwise twisting the wires together is probably good enough.
Tape the joins to strengthen and insulate them.

wait for battery to exaust... after that it will restart when you will charge it..
