Sony Walkman NWZ-E344 not booting up

About a week ago, my mom found her old Walkman and gave it to me to see if I could turn it on. I've let it charge for multiple hours, and it seems to crash any time I try to turn it on

The first image appears when it charges using a wall outlet. It loads for a bit, then goes black for a second, before turning back on and having the cycle repeat (I know very little about walkmans, but I think this is called a boot loop?). It also happens when I try to turn it on by pressing one of the buttons.

The second image is when I plugged it into my laptop. Not too sure if its unusual or not, but it was a change so I got a picture of it just in case. I could never find the file for the walkman on my laptop either.

I tried using the small reset button on the back, but nothing changed. Is it salvageable? Any help would be appreciated; thank you so much!!
