    Toplux mp3 player

    my two year old M-250 cannot be recharged or recognised by the computer as an external drive.
    Any ideas on whats happening?
    I can still listen to what's already on it but the juice will run out soon.

    The batteries are completely dead. Lithium batteries have a set life; no matter how you use them, they will eventually expire. Time to buy a new MP3 player! Unless you think it's worth cracking it open and trying to replace the battery yourself...

    Seems such a waste to chuck the player just for the battery.
    Are there players which use replaceable batteries?

    There are plenty that use AA or AAA batteries.

    Contact the manufacturer or local distributor. They'll probably be able to change the battery up for you.

    Probably not worth it to walk miles for the official channel, just go to the electronics/mobile phone repair shop across the corner and ask if they can do it.

    Yeah, or alternatively, open it up, identify the battery, buy a new one and replace it.

    there doesn't appear to be any place which could be a battery compartment-in any case how does one pry open an mp3 player?
    Always wanted to have a look at the innards
