My player is not responding, what do I do?

  1. Insert and remove a straightened paperclip from the Reset Hole.
  • If this does not work, proceed to Formatting Your Player.

    • Why does formatting my player in Windows Vista take a long time?

    Windows Vista formats devices differently from earlier versions of Windows. As such, your player may take a significantly longer time to perform a full format. Rest assured that once formatted, your player will perform as expected. To format your player in considerably less time, use the Quick Format option instead.
