For Chistmas I got an eMatic EM102VIDB MP3 player. When I plugged it in to my computer, it crashed, and then refused to activate, even if I used the reset button.
The solution, not guaranteed to work, is to plug it into another computer. With any luck, it will re-activate. Do not push any buttons for several minutes. It needs some time to charge. After a while, you can try to plug it into your own computer. If it fails again, I’m afraid I can’t help you further, for it worked for me.
Good luck!
Rather unrelated note: The video player only plays MTV video files, a format so obscure even VLC can’t play it. Luckily, the package comes with a conversion program on CD.

Yeah this same thing happened to me for christmas i got an ematic EM164-eJAM II and I downloaded music and everything and when I plugged it up to my computer the whole screen went blank and even when I turn it on it wont play music.I’m was so mad hopefully this works.But I have to wait til my moms not looking because if she finds out boy am I in trouble!!!
I’ve found a comprehensive site for MP4 Players at http://mympxplayer.org/. It has firmware, and other methods of fixing MP4 players. Good luck!
i can help trouble shoot any problem you have with the ematic,too much to type call me,Rance,(phone number withheld),chicago
Thank you for the offer, but the e-Matic player is working just fine. I had to edit the comment because I’m sure you don’t want your phone number available online.
Thanks again!
Dear Rance,
My dad just asked me to transfer some musics to a Ematic102VIDBL, but my PC could not recognize the Ematic. Pls call me at 858-880-6930…Thanks in advance.
Yeah, but that only works for THOSE eMatic MP3 players. Mine is the eMatic EM164VIDP and it’s a 4GB. The problem I have is the reset button won’t work, and I need to be able to do that, like NOW!!! I can’t find anything that helps, sooo if you have ANY advice or solutions, let me know. Either email me at hotblondie224@gmail.com, or reply to my comment. Thank you.
I’m sorry, I don’t have that model. However, there is a forum where you could ask for help: http://mympx.org/forum/
Actually, I discovered an easier solution a few weeks ago: Use the reset button. Gee, I feel kinda dumb now.
