Does not light but not dead no HELP

OK, I read the forum and understand the 20 sec press/release/press reset to running.

Mine does not start.

I let the battery completely and six months later (patience is the virtue) I've tried ot load and repeat the reset procedure.

Stilli does not work.

HOWEVER: when I plug it to the PC to load, the PC recognizes the device and a 'ring' in tone.  I can unplug the unit and the PC not the tone 'ring' ' sothe PC is grateful.

ALSO, when I do the reset 20 sec procedure, I get the tone "sound" of the PC and when I release the button and press it again, I get the 'ring in your' so the PC recognizes some sort o' on the device activity.

Better yet, when plugged in for the first time, autoplay starts and I can say that it displays the contents of the drive.  It is empty.  I can see the SANSA in windows Explorer.  I can copy music to it.  I can play music from SANSA on the PC memory.

When I browse the SANSA, there is no directory STRUCTURE - no = - just the root folder directory.

But I can't help doing will make the unit come alive to play.  I tried blindly start playing by pressing select and play buttons... but no response through the atria.

Oh, I also opened the device upwards (brave soul I'm - well, once an engineer, always and engineer!) and measure the voltage at the terminals of the battery as 3.75V.  With the camera connected to the computer, the voltage remains the same.  I tried the switch on the case open... nothing happened.

SO: my conclusion is that the nit of base works but is not part of the man/Machine Interface (connection to vs PC standalone unit).

Any ideas on how to get the display?

Thanks for the idea, but I'd already left him in charge for several days.  I'll hold on to the unit for spare parts assuing that the battery is still good and I got headphones intakes stand before.  I t hink it is toast unless I heard from someone else.  As a former engineer, used to try to diagnose things, I can't think anything that we have not tried. I will mark the closed thread but personally he will remain open should post again.

I SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU SPENT THINKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND DISPLAY.
