Recently my Cowon A3 won't turn on, but when I have it charging via the adapter the screen flashes white.  I've done a lot of reading and tried leaving it for a while and recharging it with the adapter but no luck.  If it's plugged in with a USB connection my computer will not recognize it as being connected so I can't edit the firmware or format the drive, ect.
 
I've opened it and unplugged the battery, checked for anything obvious but don't see anything.  I'm thinking the next step is getting a new battery.
 
Has anyone had this before with their Cowon A3?

I own an A3.  It sounds as if it was left plugged into a usb to charge for too long and the white screen of death has claimed it.  The other thought that crossed my mind is possible water damage.  Years ago, I had one that went for a swim in a creek.  It too would glow a white screen when plugged into the charger.  Good luck.

What ever became of your A3?

Tried iAudiophile,com none of the solutions there worked for me   Replaced the battery but the screen just flashes white when it's plugged in and no light that it's charging.
