MP3 players are charges with the USB cable. Connect the cable to your player and then plug it into the USB port in your computer. While it is charging you can download mp3 music files to your player.

This normally happens when a sugary liquid is split onto any item like this. It causes a coating over the button contacts meaning you can't operate them. The only solution is to take it apart and with a mild cleaner (DVD Lens Cleaner works well) and QTips clean away the residue.

You may want to check YouTube for an instruction video on how to open it up.


Please leave feedback.
