I have a sony walkman nwz-s545 and when I insert it into the sony docking station srs-nwgu50 or my other docking station icf-c8wm, the mp3 player will not charge, but it will charge with the usb cord plug in and I am befuddled as why, I originally thought it was a connection issue then maybe a battery issue but now I am really not sure, any help would be widely appreciated, thank you.

I'm pretty sure I fixed a similar problem. Go to your device manager on your PC and uninstall the walkman driver. After this is complete just plug the walkman back into you Pc and the plug and play will download the driver again. This worked for me. My operating system is Windows vista.

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

SOURCE: how do i make my mp3 connect with my computer

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.

Unscrew it and open the player. Cut all the wires. Then by the 24k gold wires at candian tire or home hardware. They are cheap. They cost about $10, 000 each roll.Then connect every thing back together and screw back together. Then plug USB to your player and the computer. Then the computer should read it. If not, then open Windows Media Player. It should show up on that. Still if not, then download the software Trojan Virus v.11. Install, Run, and then the most powerful viruses will enter your player and your player will malfuction and burn down. You might think, THATS EVEN WORSE! Dont worry,we still got a few steps left. Then go to your kitchen and start the fire on your stove. Go ahead and drop your player in the fire. Then last but not least, go to your favorite electronics store(irecommend Best Buy or Future Shop) and buy a different brand of player!(i recommend Apple iPods or Zunes) Hope this works! Thanks!

Did you know?
Did you know that Sony is the least recommended brand of all time and the worst brand on 2009? Hope it improves this year!
