i have the same problem as someone did before (my mp3 player will not play, but just turns itself off as soon as i try to play anything and most of the time restarts itself instantly) It stays on if i go into any other mode but as soon as i touch the MISC/play button it shuts down.
i read that the answer to this is that you need the software disc to replace the firmware but i do not have one.
Is there anyway it can be done without the disc at all??
Looking forward to hearing from anyone!!???!

mine does that too and i don't know why, in fact i do know why but it isn't possible to be that way that i think

i droped it only once .. nothing happened, worked fine

i used to listen to music going to sleep. did that for couple of times until a morning when my tangent audio mp3 player wasn't able to stay on more than one second. i thought it was the battery which got absorbed (after 7 hours)

i change it and the same. my bed is soft i didn't brake anything in it and i know that because i cracked it and i saw everything is allright in there. in fact i don't know that .. but looks fine, i looked carefully

one i made it play for 10 min holding a finger on the chips, now it isn't working that way either .. now it only goes on and then .. directly off

mt computer is recognizing it and i tryed to format it but nothing .. does the same

on howtomendit.com i read something about 'reset a mp3 player' is there any possibility to do that ?

Buy the same mp3 player new from the store with the disc you need inside.Then use the disc to fix your broken mp3 player.Then when your all done put everything back in the box it came in and take it back to the store and get your money back (make sure you can return it before you try this).Good luck!
