From the Sansa site:
Sansa Fuze is not turning on or charging
1. Press-and-hold the POWER button for approximately 30 seconds to reset the player.
2. Connect the player to the PC. The players's display screen should turn on and start charging within an hour.
3. Allow the player to charge for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Update to the latest firmware to prevent this issue from occurring again.

Hold the on/off slider for 30-40 seconds and then release to reset the device. Then try turning it on. Also, sometimes if the battery is low/dead it will take longer than 3 hours to charge up. If it does not turn on after the reset you might try letting it charge for a day or so and try again. If it doesn't work after all of this, it should be returned to where ever you bought it for a replacement.

SOURCE: my sansa fuze wont charge

Some USB ports cannot supply enough power to charge the Fuze. I had the same problem. I worked around it by getting a wall charger from RadioShack.

Unit wont turn on??? was charging unit overnight,now wont turn on tried holding all buttons for 15,30 seconds

It sounds like it's time for a new battery. Here is your battery:
http://cgi.ebay.com/550mAh-Battery-SanDisk-Sansa-Fuze-2GB-4GB-8GB-/200582416758
If replacing the battery doesn't get this player up and running, you will need to contact Sandisk for repair or replacement of your player.

When i turn my sansa fuze on it says "not enough space for music db please free 90mb"and turns back off..how am i able to get it to wrk again?

Hello,

When the player is rearranging playlists of the music database, it is possible that there's not enough memory left in the player to finish the task.
Connect the player with your computer to delete some files, at least 90 MB, off the Fuze to make it work again.
When not having a backup of the songs, save them onto the computer first.

Here's the support site for Sandisk Sansa Fuze:

Will not turn on.

It's likely your battery is flat. These devices are designed to run only from their internal battery. If the battery is flat, it won't turn on. To charge the battery connect your charging source (USB port or wall charger). Turn the player on with the mechanical swich. Next hold down the play button for more than 4 seconds. The player will turn off and begin to charge. After about 6 hrs the battery will be full and you can use the player.

Sandisk Sansa will not charge

Use the USB/data cable (the same cable you used to transfer music to the Fuze). Plug the other end into a powered USB outlet or an AC adapter.
