Hold the power switch to off for 15 seconds. When releasing the switch you should see it power on. Mine did this and this process fixed it. Had mine for over a year, no other problems and it's surviving Afghanistan and all the dirt just fine.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to do all the contacting and research on this question, and especially for detailing everything you have discovered here for all of us to read. I, too, have a Sansa Fuze and am looking for a nice speaker that is compatible with it. You have saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks again.

I got mine today. All I can get is a white screen. I am downloading the mp3 player recovery tool on creative's website right now. But I am thinking mine will have to go back.EDIT-- Creative's recovery tool didn't help. Nothing helps. Looks like this thing is going back to Amazon. I will see if I can get my money back.

PJC,My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification. I make this assumption based on my overall displeasure with the charging unit. In short.....it doesn't work. I plug my Sansa Disk into a USB port on my computer and in an hour or so, I'm at 100% recharge power. I have actually monitored the charge on my Sansa Disk using the outlet plug-in charger. I would allow the MP3 player to recharge for an hour and to my dismay, the MP3 actually lost a significent percentage of its charge while plugged into the wall outlet.Frankly, the plug-in charger is worthless, in my opinion. I'm not surprised that the quality control on the size of the USB connector is dismal.Sincerely,cmp PJC,My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification.

try putting a paperclip into the small hole in the back. this will reset the unit and it should be good as new

well, it happened to me about 3 months ago. Totally bricked and useless. I looked it up here and all over the net... and it's just a bad unit and everybody's broke. I gave up and got my 20 year old Onyko unit out of the garage. Doesn't do much and there are limitations, but it sounds better. I don't have the $$ to fix it. Such a drag. At least it's not a SONY it might have broken sooner! :-)

Hello: Could you tell me what MAC you have please? I can not get my Sansa e280 8gig device to connect with my G4 emac. The screen of the Sansa says connected but nothing showing on my Mac. It did show as a volume a few times. Why only a few times I don't know. I have the USB mode set to MSC. Thanks for any help.

I also bought a zen v, and literaly, in 3 days it was no longer working. It always froze immediately on startup and then died from not being able to charge. I ordered a sansa e250 and am hoping it will be much better. After my experience, I will never want a Creative zen product again.

Yes, happened to my FIRST E260 that I got, locked up until the batteries died completely then worked like a champ......I still returned it for a new one though (that was after a week of owning it), ever since then, no problems whatsoever until I tried to manipulate the title of a folder already on the Sansa......no no no, don't try to change the titles of folders that are already synched on the little guy......bad juju. I updated my firmware/software 3 days ago, and it was the best thing I've done with this yet: It gave me 3 new options for the Equalizer (all bass, all treble, and Custom). I adjusted the EQ manually and it sounds just as good as any of the Ipods I looked at prior to deciding on this baby. I would buy this anyday over an ipod, my Sopranos videos play on here, if you have the patience to wait for the software to convert a .wmv to an .avi otherwise, this MP3 player rules. Question: Does anyone use this to connect to a dock that is advertised to work with an Ipod? Does it work?

No clue...my suggestion would be to not buy it at all. Mine never did work right. It was a piece of junk. Sansa has a better product.

I don't have a clue why but my first one sparked when I plugged in an aux source and didn't work. It was RMA'd and the new one worked and is still working great. Besides the bummer of having to wait for a working one I also had to pay for th ereturn mail. Still, the one that's working is really great. Get an RMA and send it back for a new one.

According to a reply at another website, yes, the Fuze will work with this product, but you have to remove the plastic "sleeve" that surrounds the plug. See this site for details http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=sansafuse&thread.id=524

Try restarting your computer with the usb plugged in. And if it does not work check your desktop for an icon of the keychain and double click on that. However if it doesn't work don't just unplug your device from the computer it could damage it. Go to "File" and look for an option that says "eject" and click that. I apologize if that is obvious to you but, I mention it just in case

Try fully charging the speaker first.If that does'nt work,get in touch with the seller you bought the speaker from.

I had the same problem and got mine working again yesterday after I tried an idea I found in an internet search. I unplugged the unit and cleaned the top of the unit with glass cleaner. Wait for it to completely dry and then plug it back in and give it a try.
