I’ve legit used mine 3 times and now it works while plugged in and thats it. I literally just bought this %#*@ thing…

Hi @jacesmom2013 , If you have ensured that the battery is fully charged and it still only works when connected to a charger then there is a problem with the battery or the battery charging circuit in the player. You state that I literally just bought this %#*@ thing…. What type of warranty if any, was offered by the vendor? If there was a warranty given with the player and it is still valid, take it back for a refund If there was no warranty or it is out of date and you wish to fix and keep the player here is a link to the ifixit Eclipse 180G2 MP3 Video Player Battery Replacement guide.
