I have new batteries in my MP3 player and it doesn't stay on even with the new batteries in it. When I turn on my MP3 player it will not stay on more ten seconds and then it will go off and continue to come on off as long as the battery is inside of it.
here's what i did:
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 ?

mine does that too and i get angry cause i can't repair it.
i want this damn thing to work not to mess around with me.
the difference is that mine doesn't stay on more than 1 second. it's not the battery, i don't know what it is, my computer is recognizing it therefore those damn chips are working.
once i held in one position and worked more than 10 min.

mine did the same,i bought a cheap one with a cr*p battery and it turned off and on,a new battery solved the problem but only for a longer period,i threw it away and went back to cd's ! far better.
