Did I damage the NW-E005F (Battery problem)?

[Panda]

I recently purchased a NW-E005F player, and as instructed I let it charge up at the beginning. However afterwards I proceeded to leave it alone for the next couple of days, roughly 3-4 days.

Now whenever I charge up the battery it shows that the device is full ~ however under 20 minutes of running the player switched into Low Battery and ceases to function.

Have I somehow damaged the device, and if so is there a way that I would be able to solve the problem myself or am I likely going to see a technician about it.

Excuse my beginnner questions.

I strongly suggest you send you player back to Sony while the warranty is still valid. G'd luck!

Figured the same thing, problem still seems to be persisting.

What i wanted to know is, whether I had something to do with this mess up or was the device faulty from the beginning.

What are the battery practices I shouldn't have done and done?

A similar thing happened with my A-608 which I purchased in late March 2006. After conditioning the battery, I charged the battery completely, and barely used it, then at the end of the day the battery lost charge to less than 50% while not playing anything. This never happened with my E-407 so I just returned it to Best Buy and got my money back.
