Samsung YP-U3 MP3 Player Logo
Anonymous Posted on May 07, 2011

Hi, My Samsung YP-U3 has been really great up until now. But now, When I put it into my Computer (USB"s), it doesn't show up on "My Computer" (where it show's C, D, Drive etc) only started doing this recently when I plug it in to any USB Ports, I get a Windows message pop up that say's it's "not recognised". On the Player itself, when I plug it in it say's "USB Connection" (normal) then, shortly after "USB Disconnection" (not normal) but goes on charging anyway....? so basically it doesn't show up anywhere! I can't even open it up now and play Music on it (I accidently deleted all my Music trying to do something else!) but I can't put Music on it anyway as it doesn't show up! sorry to go on I'm frustrated! any help would be appreciated Thanks Mike.

    Thanks, I will give it a try none of this would have mattered had I not accidently deleted all my Music! that "not regonised" has been coming up for a long time but it still charges the Battery.
    Had I trid to add or delete a song, i would have then found out something was wrong...
    btw, I'm also from NZ! Thanks Mike.

Have you tried booting into safe mode and seeing if the problem persists? If it can be detected in safe mode, then there is a possibility your USB drivers are corrupted, and will need a re-install. To do this, remove all USB devices from ports, disable USB in your Start/Settings/Control panel/System, and reboot. Windows will then detect them at boot, and install the drivers needed to get them back up and running again.
Hope that helped.
Cheers from NZ

    Another possible solution is to try a linux boot cd. I had the same issues you had with an old 2GB mp3 a while back; Winblows not recognizing it etc, so I booted up a Linux distro, and formatted it that way.
    If the drive is any good, linux should *possibly* help you out.
    They make some pretty good linux distros these days, and most of them are free to download.
    Hope you get it to work.
    Cheers

My computer does not recognise my Samsung YP-U3 MP3 player. The MP3 works, except that now it has no more battery, but sinc yesterday suddenly, my computer does not recognise it and wont recharge it....

Try another USB port, apart from the one you used before, but before doing that, try this nice trick, put on either your Windows Media Player first, or If you have An Apple RealPlayer Application, put it on,...those two applications helps in the detection of Portable devices.
Goodluck
