Possible remedy: try taking its battery out and putting it back. Report back if the problem still persists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MizuRyuu Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 i heard of this kind of problem... i think other people's Pocket has crashed because the player tried playing a corrupt file, or at least a file that is not perfect.... seem like the Pocket is quite sensitive.... so you might try noting down which song it crash at and get a new copy of that song.... or just take it out all together.... hopefully, that will solve your problem....

0 Richard_p Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 It's definetley not ralated to whatever track is playing. Just seems to be whenever it is squeezed in the right way,(such as being in a pocket).After spending most of the afternoon re-formatyting the HD and putting all songs back on i can conclude that it has also had no effect, the problem persists.Thinking of phonig sony but i'm unsure as to where i stand when it comes to the warranty, i've only had the player for about 2 month but it was an eBay purchase of a new American unit and i'm livign in the UK, Also when checking the battery i couldn't resist sliding the back of it to reveal the hard drive.
