toxicpuls :
so it turns on but after it says sony on the screen it turns off and it wont stop doing this...
i tried hitting the reset button...
Simple fix when this happened to me... I replaced the battery on the remote controller and the media player started working and didn't shut off again. Apparently, when it first comes on, it does a self test. if it receives no input from the remote, it shuts itself off. Hope this helps... BTW, the battery for the remote is any 2030 battery. Just replace it and try it. let me know if it worked...
