preferred at the back side of the computer.
3. Check the device manager in the computer management for the player running with a functional driver without "yellow" marks, question mark or note of exclamation.

If I was you I would use either Windows Media Player or Drag and Drop your files to your player. If you choose to use Windows Media Player you will have the same functions that you will have with the coby music manager. Here is the following ways to add music and files to your player if you choose the above ways to add music:

**Drag and Drop**
Connect your MP3 player to the computer. Some MP3 players connect directly to a USB port, while others connect to a USB port by way of a specific USB connector that comes with the MP3 player. Open the folder on the computer that contains the music files you want to transfer. This is usually the "My Music" folder; available from the "Start" menu, but it can be any folder where you save your music files. Scroll down to the song you want to transfer to the MP3 player. Right-click on the title. When the options are displayed, click on "Send To." Scroll down the "Send To" options and select your MP3 player. This can be listed as your MP3 player's name or as "Removable Drive." Click on this selection. Continue this process until you have transferred all songs that you want to your MP3 player.
--**Windows Media Player**--
If you have a large playlist to transfer, you may prefer to do it from your media player, such as Windows Media Player. Once your MP3 player is connected to the computer, open Windows Media Player. Click on the "Sync Music" tab. Drag songs that you want from your Windows Media Library over to the "Sync Music" column to create a playlist. Click the "Begin Sync" tab at the bottom once you have all of the songs on your playlist. This action will sync all of the songs to your MP3 player with one click. Disconnect your device once songs have been transferred by clicking on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the bottom-right side of the desktop tray.

I had the same problem. I had not had any problems for months and suddenly it wouldn't connect. I got on live chat w/ Sony (3 times) and finally got someone who seemed to know what they were doing. I have a Sony computer and they had to send me a link for a USB "patch". After downloading it, it fixed it.

I had the same problem. Don't buy a new cord. There is a sony place in winnipeg you can get it fixed there.

it could be something is wrong with the bottom of the walkman where you plug the cord in

Triple Reset for GoGear:
Disconnect the Go Gear from computer. Press the reset pinhole until the player turns off. Hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard. If this pop-up does not appear, reset the player again WHILE connected to the computer. Open the Philips Device Manager, and go to Repair Tab. Reset the player one more time while connected to computer. Follow the repair instructions.

After repair is complete, upgrade the firmware for this player.

Will erase all the songs, but you should be good to go again.

You can purchase a "AC to USB" power adapter for about $30

Try changing the USB connection from MTP to MSC in the Settings>USB Mode>. If this still doesn't work. Plug in the device. go to Control Panel on your computer. From there go to Administrative tools. Then to Computer Management. My Computer>Control Panel>Administrative tools>Computer Management> Device Manager. The device manager is located on the left side menu. Click on the device manager and a list of components and what-not will appear on the right side of this menu. If you see under the Portable Devices component, a Device with a "!" inside a yellow circle, then you did not change the USB connection. If it was changed then you should see the Sansa e250 drivers under the drivers component. This means your computer recognizes the device and you should be able to do what you want with it.
