Hello everyone. i encountered the same problem. after i unplugged themp3 player the screen hung/froze showing only the sony walkman logo. iused the reset feature numerous times, but no luck (initially.)
ima linux user (ubuntu 8.10) and the sony mp3 player NWZ-B135F is in factCOMPATITIBLE with the Ubuntu Linux operating system. i triedlinux suggested solution mentioned in another thread.i let the power drain completely. however after the whole "ithung/froze" incident, even linux was not able to read the usb device.it wouldn't turn on and it wouldn't charge at all. so to troubleshootthis issue i used the Windows XP prof. OS which was able to detect thethe sony mp3 player when plugged into a usb port. but mind you, the mp3player device was not appearing under "my computer"
i downloaded the FIRMWARE for NWZ-B135F found on this page below:

afterrunning this program, the Windows XP prof. OS clearly detected the mp3player device and it now appeared under "my computer" as a removabledisk. (at this point, the sony mp3 player lit up and it started tocharge again) i reformatted the sony mp3 player memory to FAT and ranthe NWZ-B130_V1_01.exe (firmware) again. the system reset and itworked! i only had 20 songs so losing the files was no big deal. i wasjust glad it started to work again.
anyway, hope this helps someone. if you have questions, just message me. have a good day.
My walkman screen "cursor"keeps flashing backwards and forwards along the display. I've tried everything includng the firmware downloads but nothing works - I can't open it cos it just keeps moving up
It seems that you have not wmp 11 installed. Removable storage will not be shown unless you have upgraded to wmp11. upgrade your old windows media player to 11 version. and it will show your device in window explorer in winxp sp2/sp3/vista etc.....
Have Fun!
Hi Everyone, i solved this problem using a pc with Windows XP Professional SP2 and not SP3, this upgrade (SP3) generate the problem that the walkman is invisible in My computer.
Good day, Garyel
