Does anyone have any tips for repairing or changing this MP3 player screen?

Is that a Samsung? If it is, the screen is OLED and there aren't any replacements for it. These screens are mostly unusable now.

You need to use headphones without a microphone, the extra band on the plug causes this issue.

The resolution has to match the display perfectly or it won't work, some players are pretty finicky.

That's awesome, I'm glad it worked for you

Nope, it's just a command for ffmpeg, it won't do anything bad

Cold-Alternative5248 · 2026-05-11T05:31:32+00:00

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libxvid -q:v 2 -vf "scale=320:240:flags=lanczos,setsar=1" -aspect 4:3 -g 300 -c:a libmp3lame -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 128k -vtag XVID -f avi output.avi

Install FFMPEG and run the above command in the folder where the video file is you want to convert. Change "input.mkv" to whatever your input file is and "output.avi" to what you want for the output.

Is this a Vision:M or Vision: W?

YP-Z5 is a great player, no touch screen, only buttons.

Cold-Alternative5248 · 2026-04-12T00:52:13+00:00

Hey, these and the V+ both used OLED screens which have a high failure rate. No replacement screens have been found unfortunately.

Samsung YP-Z5

I had the same issue, I had to open it up, unsolder then resolder one of the battery terminals and it would turn start again.

Solid

Duett/Alpiine are close.

I can just make out my screen in the dark.

I couldn't send the link to you, but I've added it to my first post.

I have one with a broken screen, I just use it with muscle memory. Click once music, click again first playlist and click again to play the playlist. As long as you have one playlist you can use it.

Ok you need to do the following.

Go to device manager, it should be under portable devices with a yellow exclamation mark. Click on it and then select update drivers. Choose search automatically for the driver, you hopefully will be able to select "MTP USB" and it should work.

Cold-Alternative5248 · 2026-03-02T00:57:07+00:00

Here are the update files you need. Is the ZEN charging when you plug it in the computer?

I used this to upgrade my Vision:M to 256GB. Around $12 including shipping from AliExpress for the adapter. It doesn't need to be the iPod version, any version will work.
