So, next time you face a problem with yours one, its advisable that you know your gadget well so that you can detect the problem and fix it at ease instead of taking it to the nearest technician. If it’s malfunctioning somehow, try to fix the problem sitting right at your home.

Failure of Disk
Generally there comes no clicking sound when you turn on your MP3 player. If that happens, it’s very much obvious that your hard drive is getting corrupted and the sooner you replace it the better it is for you. Though Flash based MP3 players (iPod Nano for example) do not have a hard drive. So if this happens in your iPod, look for a loose part that might have happened inside.

Battery problem
Always be certain that the battery is charged fully. Try to change your batteries after regular intervals and recharge it and turn on for use. If the indicator light does not emerge, its better you replace the battery or use a special USB port or power channel.

Setup and Jacks
Check the internal setup of an MP3 player before you use it. Always make sure that the hardware is in sound condition. Check the headphone jack, the battery cells and all other things that are visible to you. The headphone plug ought to be properly inserted into the MP3 player before using.

USB Port
The USB port is to be checked first to identify the MP3 Player. To do this, you need to check that the both ends of the cable are put in the MP3 Player and the computer’s USB port accurately. If that does not work well, try a different gadget. If that fails, the problem is with your computer’s USB port. Use a different USB port. If that also does not click, reinstall the USB drivers going to the Windows System Menu that is in the Control Panel.
