The Philips GoGear MP3 player allows users to carry and listen to their music almost anywhere. After using your device for a while, you may experience memory corruption, which may be caused by an improper disconnection from your computer. This can cause improper playback of music files. You can troubleshoot the issue to have your GoGear playing like new. Perform a system reset, a memory recovery, replace your music files and properly disconnect your GoGear from your computer.

  • The Philips GoGear MP3 player allows users to carry and listen to their music almost anywhere.
  • Perform a system reset, a memory recovery, replace your music files and properly disconnect your GoGear from your computer.

Perform a system reset, which won't erase your files, to attempt to correct playback. Locate a thin object, such as pen tip or unfolded paper clip and insert it into the small reset hole on the bottom of your GoGear. Hold the thin object in place until you see the unit shut down completely. Your system has been reset. Power the device back on to see if the corrupted files have been corrected. If the reset failed to correct the issue, perform a file recovery on your GoGear.

Initiate a file recovery by first connecting your GoGear to your computer. From your computer's "Start" menu, choose "Programs," "Philips Digital Audio Player," "Area Device Manager" and "Philips Device Manager." The Philips Device Manager software will be activated. Inspect your GoGear to confirm that it is turned off. Plug the small end of the supplied USB cord into the bottom of your GoGear while holding down the "Volume Up." Insert the larger end into a free USB port on your computer. Hold the key as the "Philips Device Manager" reads your GoGear and activates recovery mode. Click "Repair" and follow the onscreen prompts as given by the "Philips Device Manager" to complete the process of memory recovery. Disconnect your GoGear from your computer properly after the process is complete and restart your MP3 player.
