Try this troubleshooting tips... http://www.docstoc.com/docs/1273279/Samsung-yp-s2-manual-Have-you-read-this If still problem...let me know I will try my best to repair it.

I would suggest resetting it and seeing if that solves the problem.

There is a small hole in the body of the unit to gently insert the end of a paperclip to do this.

See page 14 of the manual for a picture. Get the manual via the link below.

When your computer doesn't recognize your Samsung MP3 player, programs

(10 or 11) do not allow you to transfer files to your player.
In SMS and Emodio, the portable icon appears grayed out.
In Windows Media Player, you are prompted to connect a device.
Your PC may fail to recognize your player for a variety of reasons.
To begin troubleshooting, scroll down, and then click the operating

General Operating System Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Windows computers, Samsung MP3 players require at least Windows XP
Service Pack 2. If you have an older operating system such as Windows
2000 or Windows 98, your computer won't recognize your player until you
upgrade your PC to at least Windows XP Service Pack 2.
If your PC is running Linux or MAC, it will not recognize some MP3
players that support only MTP mode. However, it will recognize players
that support UMS mode and list them as mass storage devices.
The following Samsung MP3 players support UMS: YP-U1, YP-U2, YP-U3,
YP-U4, YP-U5, and YP-S2.
The following Samsung MP3 players support both MTP and UMS mode: YP-Z5
and YP-P3.
Windows Vista may fail to detect you device if the player is not
connected properly, Windows Media Player is not installed or has become
corrupted, Vista is unable to install the MTP drivers, or the MTP patch
is not installed.

While connected to the PC, go to my computer. Right Click on the USB Audio device (mp3 player) and choose Format. It will now format your player. Just make sure to back up your files first as to formatting will restore your player to default settings and will wipe out the memory.

Thank you for using Fixya!

u **** =))

dont load crappy software that comes with these things,
windows generic usb storage device drivers works solidly.
just treat it like a flash drive, drag and drop your mp3s into the music folder.
and make sure its charged, i.e. leave it plugged into the computer for al least 30 mins

try drying it out with a hair dryer
