My Walkman has operated fine over a number of years. Now it's decided life is just too tough.

On starting, the flashing icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen cycles seven or eight times and then freezes, after which the screen goes blank. Pressing any button causes the same procedure to repeat.

When the unit is attached by USB to my PC, the Walkman shows connection, but the PC (Windows 7) can't load the driver and doesn't show the device in Explorer.

I have pressed the reset button but it makes no difference.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a solution?

Any suggestions gratefully received.
