Have you tried it in another computer?

Does it show up in "My Computer"?

If you can get it recognized by another computer, you can apply this firmware update:

Turning the player on
1. Check the polarity of the battery plus (+) and minus (-), matching the indication in the battery compartiment
2. Switching the player on viewing next image, moving switch 2 towards the USB connector until the display shows up.


When the player doesn't respond, the firmware could be corrupted.
Run or Download first and run later, the Pearl firmware version 2.0 with next link from the support page or with the direct link:

When more help is needed, just post a comment.

RCA once had them, but no longer carries them. You would actually have more problems than you would imagine with Win 98 and mp3 players anyways - no music services will accept Windows 98 anymore. The Windows Media Player 10 software that you would need to transfer songs is not compatible. It would have been rough anyway.

Either the DB is corrupt of the license on the songs expired - make sure the music service is completely up to date. If it is, then go to RCA's website and get the latest firmware update.

the rca pearl does not have an external power source, only the AAA battery. Just put in a new AAA and you're good.
