Sony Walkman NWZ-E436F: Which chipset is used for sony walkman?

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 07:00:08 -0700

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out which chipset is used by sony walkman. specifically model E-436F, E-438F, X1051, or X1061.

I belive that all four of them are using same chipset.

I want to know if it's from telechips or TI, freescale whatever it is.

It would be great if some one can help me with this.

Thank you so much!

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 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…

A client of mine is asking if there is anyway he can retrieve the files from his broken walkman I've already ordered a new cord to determine if that's the issue. But if that doesn't work is there a way to pull the data straight from the memory?

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?
