Sony MP3 walkman issue

    Hi guys,

    My mother has a Sony MP3 walkman. She only ever uses it for the radio (and uses it a lot for it). Not entirely sure on the model, I think it's the NWZ-E443 (this is what it looks like: http://xatech.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sony-walkman-e-series.jpg).

    Anyway, for the last 3 weeks it hasn't been working. It is stuck on the loading screen with the loading symbol. Nothing works, it can't even be turned off. There is a reset button on the back of it, and that isn't making any doing anything. I have left it for 3 weeks in the hope that the battery would drain completely and it would rectify itself, but the battery hasn't died.

    Has anybody got an ideas on how I can sort this? I've done a good bit of googling and can't find anybody having this issue, or possibly fixes.

    Any help much appreciated!

    I find it very odd that the reset button isn't working. And after about 3-4 weeks the battery still hasn't died! :mad:

    found this thread for the E344 but it may work. http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55277
    i had somehwat the same problem. Its the USB enumerateor in the player itself that doesnt reset to player mode when u disconnect it from puter. Reset wont work. First, make sure its off anytime u plug it into ur puter. You have to plug it back in the puter then unplug it. Then power it on. then it will turn back off. Recharge it using a external ac adaptor meant to charge these little players

    try that

    On an iPod once I opened it up and disconnected the battery for 24 hours which reset it when everything else didn't.

    Last resort if the above doesn't work. Maybe ask on Head Fi or similar?
