It appears that your walkman is still turning on. When you connect it to your computer, check windows media player and look if it recognizes your walkman. If it is not recognized. look it up from windows explorer as a removable device, and take it from there.

YOU MAY FORMAT AND BAT IT THROUGH CONTROL PANEL. THANK YOU.

First reset yours by the Back button;

If not solved;

Reset again by the button, the On the Computer by Fat32 Format, and then Copy the Initial Files that were on your MD when you Bought;


Good luck

Hi I had the same problem and I finally figured it out.
First you will have to try to connect to the computer by pluggin it in and reseting once the computer recognizes it you should be able to look at the files.
If you are able to get the device to this point;
1. create a folder on you computer it could be in you desktop or document and name it something you would remember to go to. I named mine SONY.
2. copy all the folders from your WALKMAN to this folder;
3. delete all files from your WALKMAN there are some files it will not allow you to and just hit SKIP.
4. download the Firmware update (1.02) from the SONY Suport website: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=NWZE436F and select your computers operating system and download the file.
5. Once you download it run it and it should re-install all the necesary files back to you device.
6. Re-start the WALKMAN and it sould work just fine now you can go back and add your music files and photos, etc...

Good luck this worked perfectly for mine.

try to reset your sony or try to reformat your sony. then try to rebuild your library

Try hitting the reset button on your Sony Walkman and if possible try connecting to a different computer to see if it's your computers problem

It may be a loose ribbon cable going from battery compartment to main circuit board. THey have tendency to work loose.

did anyone ever get back to you on this? I'm having the same problems.

If you purchased the Walkman in the U.S.

Try installing the Firmware in the Walkman.'

You won't be able to download and install the Firmware in the Walkman if 64 bit Operating System is installed in the Computer.

I will forward a link to a page where you can download the Firmware update for the Walkman.
