it could be a filename issue. You could number your tracks in a mp3 tag editor. I suggest mp3tag v.2.5.x for your needs.

Maybe your cable has a broken wire in it. This happened to me and I had to bend the cable back and forth. When it connected so I knew it was the cable, I just got a new one.

If you have too many songs on the player delete some of the ones you don't listen too or convert the files to a lower bit rate and it will allow more songs, but at the cost of quality.

After a update the player needs to be reset. To reset the player:
1. Slide and hold the Power switch up for approximately 20 seconds.
2. Release the Power switch.
3. To turn the player on, slide the Power switch up then release instantly.

My 8Gb Clip did the same after a firmware update. Apparently it's due to new EU regs about MP3 player volume limiting. To fix select 'reset all' (note any settings you want to re-set later), after reset, select your language and then set region to 'Rest of World'. Sorted!

It may or may not. If the battery is very DEAD the power supply may not be able to develop a high enough voltage because of the heavy drain. I've had this problem on an old IPOD and the only solution was to change the battery and recharge it. If you don't have the original charger make sure the replacement meets or exceeds the current rating, has the correct polarity and voltage.

Does it work as a player? If not then you might want to check the warranty and rma. If you're on windows and it's worked before then go to devices and delete the Sansa device, plug it in and let windows set it up again. If that doesn't work or it still doesn't show up download the sansa firmware updater and see if it can find the player, if it can't then you need to check the warranty and rma. If it does see the player then let it update and that should resolve the issue. Other solutions might be to try a different usb port, use a different usb cable. If it doesn't show up and it doesn't turn on then you might try a reset, hold down the on button and the back button at the same time for about 30 seconds or until it resets. If that doesn't work then the on button might be broken and you'll need to rma the device or if out of warranty you'll have to open it up and find out if the connection is broken and if you can re-connect it again. Hope that helps.

If you can turn it off an on you might want to try the reset option. Hold the reverse button and the on button at the same time for around 30 seconds. It should reset the firmware. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by reactivate. To reset player because it's frozen or you're multibooting, or some other issues you can hold down the left button (back button, reverse button) and the on button at the same time, hold for at least 30 seconds and it'll reset the player. If that doesn't work it might be something else like a broken start button or problems inside the unit. Hope that helps.

Hold down left or back button and press on button at same time. Hold both buttons for at least 30 seconds. This should reset player.

There's a good chance that it's the battery.

Hello!!

Try connecting with different cable !! guess the problem is with the cable!!

'Turn' the thumbwheel clockwise to increase the volume.

You have used up all your memory, OR you have a faulty SD card. Try reinserting the SD . Also verify how much memory you have.
