I have a 2GB phillips go gear thing and Ive only used it once or twice. When I had it there was 1 song already on there which made me a bit suspicious but i let it go. while lisenin 2 playlists the songs would skip and jump and go haywire in general. i put it back in the box and forgot about it for over a year! Now I want to sort it out. When I put it on charge the screen flickers really rapidly, wont turn on, and stops dead when i unplug it. I cant turn it on at all. ? any ideas anyone? the manual doesnt help. I didint pay £100 for something that wont work!!!! And I cant take it back to the store becuse its been over a year!

I have just won one of these in a charity auction - taken it out of the box and experience the exact same problem. Very frustrating - going to feel very embarrassed about trying to get my money back!

ive had mine since xmas 04, and it worked at first, then it went downhill, the screen flickers as you've said, but also when i charge mine all night i return to it saying its on low battery!!! Also now i decided to upgrade the firmware and dmm, and i also decided to wipe the memory so i could start again, but now when ever i plug it into the pc it turns off!!!! very annoying! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

i have the same problem has anyone managed to sort this out?

Looks like I'm another victim and had a hell of a time trying to get replacement battery cos my Go Gear was out of warranty but now found mecca of Philips parts and got replacement battery for £25 from www.dutchwestdistribution.co.uk
Cheers,
