Sony Walkman - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 8

Hi chasruthdorm,
The battery can be changed only at Sony service centers, as per the manual. Please take it to a nearby Sony center to evaluate if you indeed need a battery change, and get them to do it right away.

MP3 players can only play music files and audio books in mp3 file format. You need to convert your CDs and audio books to mp3 music files onto yourcomputer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3player.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.

Use Sony's content transfer to transfer the video. In the settings, select the automatic conversion of the video when you drag an drop it using content transfer. This worked for me with Windows 7 and an upgraded device firmware to version 1.0.1. Both Sony's Content Transfer 1.3 and firmware version 1.0.1 can be found on Sony's website.

Try changing the audio source/input on your car stereo to USB.

Connect the Walkman to your computer with the Micro USB cable that came with it. Transfer video and music files using Windows Media Player or iTunes.

Find a needle and press the reset button at the bottom by it.I havesolved thesame problem by this way.

You MUST re-create the original folder structure (& files) that were in the unit when you bought it. You will not be able to use it until you do. The easiest way (I've found) is to find a working unit and copy the structure (& files) from the working unit to the non-working unit.

Probably suffered damp ingress while in storage, and thus some conductive internal corrosion; use a test meter to see if there's any leakage when it's switched off and take it from there... Either that or use AA Nimh rechargeable batteries

Sony as with other NWO players do not give you a Drive Letter. You need to switch drivers from USB Device to USB Mass Storage Device, which all windows past XP have.

I bought a new Sony NWZ-B133F/BCE Walkman. When I plugged it to the USB the drivers got properly installed, but the player does not show as a removable device or any other device in My Computer.
just follow...be sure your player is connected to pc
go to my computer right click>>properties> IN HARDWARE TAB select device manager>portable audio>right click select update drivers>click next>tick the option let me choose driver for this device>next choose usb mass storage driver from two options click next....
AND U R DONE....

Battery charged?

Go to the Sony.com website to find out.

The charger/PC connectivity connector on iPad and other non-Apple products are different. Any way, most of devices use 5V DC current to charge, so if u have an iPad -> micro USB connector converter (which is cheap and can be found easily everywhere on online market), then yes, it will charge.
