First, there's a reset button... dunno how to press it.. second, no, it's a genuine Sandisk Ultimate. Third, it's an external slot. and I didn't see the process, it was just my bro telling me the story. so can't verify the accuracy.

Thank you all for trying to help, even a week didn't pass from buying it on Amazon...

OK, I pressed for 60 seconds... nothing happened

"even a week didn't pass from buying it on Amazon" perhaps consider return since it's under warranty

Wow, do people still use MP3 players, nowadays? Well, I mean... you do, but what about others? Kinda nice to see someone take an interest in tech days gone by.

Maybe you could provide a brand, or some pics of the device. Ya know, something more to go on. Then we might be able to help further.

Anybody will remember the generic S1 MP3 players. It ran off a AAA battery, had a small LCD screen, and can be plugged straight into your computer to load songs onto it. I've also seen people hack the firmware on these to display a different splash screen and to change the icons.

Ah! The memories!

People use dedicated media players for convenience, and also there are people who only use their phone for... phone stuff.

But yeah, usually a dedicated media player can result in better battery life (not connected to cell tower, etc.), smaller size (it basically only needs to play music), and better audio quality (since it's made for playing audio, and not for the general mass "it needs to be good enough for cheap").

Oh also, pressing the RESET button is only needed for like two seconds. After releasing it, wait another 2-3s, and try turning it on normally. Oh, and don't have the SDCard inserted while trying to turn it on.

The Player. And yeah, using a separate player is very convenient and cheap...

Mine were these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1_MP3_player

Whewwwww. never mind, got that all needled up and working, thank you

At least we've all tried to help.

Luoran? Never heard of them. Did a web search and only pulled up Amazon links. I then watched a review video, and was shocked to learn that it's using older Android (possibly KitKat, maybe even older). Not sure if that's wise, considering that there may be security flaws in older Android OSes.

Still, it's not a horrible concept, but IMHO should have been built to be more independent (i.e. no wifi). Losing a little convenience to improve security is not a bad investment.

No, I need the Internet there... it's really useful, even though this is Android 3, I think. You can't install Apps to it at all, so why should there be a flaw?

BTW, I enabled Developer options in this (I connected it to a PC, Minimized the connection options to the background, disconnected, and launched it from the used apps menu. just wanted to see what will happen, and boom-) and I also enabled debugging via USB. can I install apps with it..?

There is no reason it shouldn't have WiFi. This is not iOS, you're *allowed* to turn off WiFi permanently if you want to. At least then you could download music directly from the device

If it is truly Android 3 (which is very unlikely, as it's a closed-source tablet OS), then good luck hunting down old APKs, but if there is enough space on the internal storage then you should be able to install some apps.

But it said in the Manual you can't install anything...
