Sony MP3-Player: Battery Troubles on NWZ-B183F Walkman MP3

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 23:42:17 -0700

I recently bought a Sony Walkman MP3 player (model NWZ-B183F) and I cannot for the life of me get it to show any signs of life. I have plugged it in every single way possible. I have done everything Sony has listed as a possible solution in their manual for this model.

From what I understand (and my own firsthand experience witnessing the death of my mom’s IPod Shuffle), it’s pretty safe to assume the battery’s given up and id need to get a new battery for it. How should I go about that? Any advice helps, I just want a gosh darn working MP3 player…

Sony Walkman NWZ-E353: Why does it get stuck with 6.2 GB of space left, and stop?

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 21:49:27 -0700

This is a used MP3 player. I first deleted some of the music on it, and added my own. It proceeded to LOSE all of the music. I factory reset it, reformatted it, and now I can only add about about 7.8 GB of music. It's a 16 GB device, which means it has 14.7 GB of available space. I've reset it 3 times, and run into the same problem each time. Can I fix it somehow?

Sony Walkman NW-E393: A replacement battery is failing. What is causing it?

Thu, 11 May 2023 11:28:06 -0700

I replaced the original battery after 4 years of extended use. I replaced it with an identical battery, but I noticed the battery was manufactured 6 years ago. Well, it won't hold a charge any better than the original one. I suspect a power circuit.

Sony Walkman NWZ-S764: Why my walkman is not switching on?

Sony Walkman NWZ-S764: My player has no volume controls! the buttons do nothing!

Sun, 16 Jul 2017 11:50:20 -0700

The volume controls have vanished from the player. The player appears to be muted at all times. pushing the volume up and down buttons turns the screen on, and that is it. the bar that appears at the top of the screen does not come up. i went into the service menu and played around there, but that didn't help. while i was there, i learned that there is nothing wrong with the actual buttons. the 1khz sound that can be played in the menu works in this mode.

notably, when bluetooth is activated, the volume works as normal, but the instant bluetooth is deactivated, it is as it was before.

i really need help with this issue. any help is greatly appreciated.
