Mp3 player not powering up

I am me123

Hi,

I hope someone could kindly assist.

I have an 8GB Agptek Mp3 player. Today, I was using it as normal, when the volume suddenly distorted. I powered it off. When I went to power it up again, the player was completely dead .

I tried replacing the battery, but this didnt fix the problem.

There is no reset button.

Is there anything else I could try?

Thank you.

You could try reinstalling the firmware.

How do I do this?

You download it from the manufacturers website. Connect your MP3 to the computer via usb and then reinstall it.

Theres a reset according to Google. Hold the play button for 10 seconds

Why are you asking me and not the OP?

Agptek have loads of models, so probably also have a number of different firmware updates. Trying to install the wrong firmware might not be a good thing.

I think this is the 5th thread from the OP on their Agptek players.

Providing device not powering ON as is, it will unlikely come "alive" while connected to PC for firmware upgrade anyway…(OP to test).

Personal opinion:
These devices were "a thing" before smart phones showed up. Everyone has mobile now, most if not all have more than 8GB storage(mem card option for extra storage and F*** the apple for not having it ) - one device to charge.
