0 scalby Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 When I've had problems like that in the past with other models, I found updating the firmware cured it. You can download it from here, http://support.sony-europe.com/dna/wm/nwvp/nwvp.aspx?site=odw_en_GB&m=NWZ-E438F . Hope it works for you.

I can pen the device and see files, but I'm not sure if they (system files for the device) are all there Transfers and everything. The updater doesn't work. it just stays connected to UMP. If I plug the player into a power outlet eg an iphone charger with the USB cable, the startup screen just keeps flashing. So it's hard to know if this is a firware corruption or battery problem.

0 scalby Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 You may have to delete a few tracks for it to work. This is the note from the download page. Note: To perform this update, the WALKMAN needs to have at least 50MB free space. Best of luck. So, The file transfer wizard picks up the device when connected to a Win 7 PC.
