So you are saying that the player won’t connect to your pc, even while holding the player’s middle button as you connect the pc to it? Have you tried first removing the card in the player(while the player is off), then trying to connect it to the pc? At first I thought the player’s main memory is corrupted and needs to be reformatted, or the memory on the card in the player is corrupted, and the card needs to be reformatted. Formatting these removes all the songs on them. . How old is the player? It might be that the internal memory has become defective or worn out.
I assume you also tried to turn on the player while it was connected to the wall charger and being charged. If it did play then, then you would know the problem is a damaged or worn out battery. The problem though imo is probably a flash memory problem or a problem with the firmware in the player or perhaps hardware in the player that is worn out. Unfortunately if you can’t get the player to connect to your pc then you can’t try reloading the firmware.
