problem with sony walkman bean

Nov 20, 2005 4:16AM PST

I just got a NW-E305white walkman bean. SO i charged it on my computer and it worked. I used it for like 5 days on and off since it can go for about 50hrs playback. I charged it on my roomates computer through the pop us USB jack and it charged but then after I took it out, the player wouldnt turn on. I plugged it back in and it charges, but it just doesnt work after taking it out. IF anyone has any idea on what the problem could be please let me know. THank You.

Sony Bean trouble
Dec 24, 2005 2:46AM PST

hey there. i have had my sony bean for roughly 7 hours and i am having the same problem. i had it in my sisters computer and it worked, and then i took it out of my own and it shows the access upload bar, the last song that was played, and then a whole bunch of fractions and stuff like that. My only conclusion for either of us is that the mp3 players have been uploaded with a virus. It has been happening alot recently.

There's quick fix to this... you need to use a paper clip or something small enough to reset it. The reset ultra small button is located under the cap next to the usb plug. It's small... once you reset it everything goes back to normal. If you need to use a comp you are not sure if it'll make it shut down itself, you might want to use the usb plug given in the pack to connect the walkman to your comp, prevent this from happening (so far for me Wink
