Top 20 Toshiba gigabeat MES60VK Digital Media Player Questions & Answers

Sounds like just your headphones could be dead. Does it play sound from the right channel on everything its plugged into ?


Hope this helps
Positive Feedback ALWAYS Appreciated :)

I had that same problem before. My gbeat is working fine now after I followed instructions here:

Read through the link under in Gigabeat S Code Injection Tool. You should be able to dl there the recovery firmware.

Microsoft stopped supporting the product after they launched their own Zune, thus there is no update.

You need to buy a new battery. They have that in ebay.

Just plug it to a PC using your USB cable, open the windows media player and synchronize from there.

System files might got corrupted. The best way for you to do is to reformat the MP3 Player. Hook it up on your computer's usb port. Right click your windows START button and choose Explore. It will open the windows explorer. Look for the drive letter associated with your MP3 player, right click on it and choose Format. Do a quick format and after that, you should be good.

Hope this helps you.

To format your MP3 player, you can plug it into your computer's USB port. When the computer detected the new usb device (your mp3 player), right click on your windows start button and click Explore. It will show you the start menu or the Windows Explorer. Look for the drive associated with your mp3 player, right click it and choose Format. That's it! Good luck.

MP3 players are so cheap nowadays, so Id recommend getting a new one instead.

try uploading them to your "realplayer",Windows Media Player,ETC, then once they are "loaded" into your Play list, you can,Burn,Rip,Share,and download to almost anything

maybe its the headphones?
I had the same trouble, it went all crackly. I just got some new really cheap headphones, and it worked better.
Hope this helped.

plug in the ipod, go to my computer and double click your ipod icon, go ta music, and then copy and paste what you want to " my music"

I just solved the same problem yesterday. When you download the firmware, save it to yur desktop and burn a CD because the gigabeat won't get it unless there is an actual CD in the rom.

Now, connect the gigabeat to the computer and let the firmware install. The unit will automatically restart twice. Here's the tricky part. You have to hold down the start button on the device until you see the start screen. (It took awhile for me to figure that out!)

After I saw the start screen, I saw that all my files were there! YAY

This happens when the Gigabeat battery is run down too far. The only hope is to charge it with the AC charger.

If you don't have one, you can probably get something adequate. The standard adaptor is p/n ADP-15HH, 5V 3A output, center positive, take the unit with you and match the connector - I don't have a useful ruler handy.

If you do not have or cannot get an adaptor, try plugging the device into a USB port and wait at least a day, no kidding. If you can get the port to kick in fir high current, it may come back to life. My Ubuntu box has done it once, as a test.

You can only avoid this by charging the Gigabeat before it runs down too much. This is the real weakness of the Gigabeat, IMHO. That and the problems they get losing the firmware, but that's another topic.

You can sometimes find chargers on eBay, but you will have to pay a little...

HI FRIENDS THIS IS KIRAN
TO SOLVE THE ABOVE ISSUE
* REMOVE BATTERY
*PLACE THE LOCK BUTTON IN UNLOCK POSITION
*INSTALL MAGNAVOX SOFTWARE IN THE PC
*CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
*CONNECT THE DEVICE TO PC HOLDING THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE DEVICE
THEN YOU WILL SEE AN MSG STATING "DO YOU WANT TO REPAIR THE DEVICE"
CLICK YES

Sounds like the battery is spent. If you just bought this 'new', you should know these haven't been made for a while, maybe 2 years. The battery might be dead. New ones aren't too expensive.

I decided it was to much of an issue to get help to replace the battery so I just bought a new Ipod Nano
