Restore your computer to like 3 days before the incident maybe.

**Resetting the player:**

1. Slide and hold the **Power** switch up for approximately 20 seconds.
2. Release the **Power** switch.
3. Slide the **Power** switch up then release to turn on the player.

Make sure the Clip has been some power left in it’s battery.

If it turns on.&nbsp; Then plug it into the computer and see if its recognized.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If its not , try restarting your computer with it plugged in.&nbsp;&nbsp; If its still not recognized.&nbsp; Read this page:
