E280 is dead!

Hi just post a few problems with my Sansa e280 8 gb. Worked fine in the morning, but when I turned on the afternoon that it froze right after playing a song and be reset. Played a video, it was very good, I went back to the music and froze again. Came home thinking I might need to update or delete music on it, but now, because it is in mode of MCP it impossible to update the database and therefore not will not come on my PC, and worse still when it freezes the fades to black screen and sounds pretty bad. Is it the battery or is it something else?

See you soon

It is probably not the battery.

Try first a soft reset - press and hold the menu/power for 15 to 30 seconds.  This should force the unit to power off.  Turn it back on by pressing power menu again.

I don't know what is MCP mode.  You have options of the MTP or MSC mode to choose from with the players of e200 (or Auto).  On a v2 template, you can force MSC mode by putting the HOLD button on the locked position and holding down the | < button="" while="" connecting="" to="" the="" pc. ="" (one="" way="" to="" identify="" a="" v2="" is="" the="" sandisk="" logo="" will="" have="" a="" blue=""> Under Sandisk Sansa when unit comes on first.)  There is no way to force the MSC mode on a v1 model, but you do not have a Recovery Mode you can reach by engaging the HOLD switch as above, but keeps the RECORD button instead of the.<>

Assuming you have a v2 template, you can try to connect in MSC mode, bypassing the updating of the database.  If you turn off the player first, then try to manually force MSC mode, you may be able to connect to the computer in MSC mode until the player never gets to the place where it hangs on the update database process.  At this point, you can just format the drive by right clicking on the drive in my computer and select Format (FAT32).

If you have a model v1, you will need to format via the Recovery Mode.  Once connected in Recovery Mode, you'll have a 16 MB-FORMAT drive in my computer.  Open it and create a new folder named sansa.fmt in the root directory of the volume 16 MB-FORMAT.  Once you unplug the computer, the reader will see the sansa.fmt folder and start formatting itself.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DIRECTLY FORMAT VOLUME 16 MB-FORMAT!  IT IS VERY BAD KARMA TO TRY TO DO.  YOUR CROPS WILL ALL FAIL IN THE FIELDS AND WILL DRY YOUR PROPERTY!

Note that the format of your player will correct the problem of blocking of data refresh, but it will remove all your multimedia files.  It's a good idea to have a folder on your hard drive containing backups of all your media files.

Once you get the operational return player you must verify that you have the latest firmware for the last versions are more robust with respect to the issue of locking of the refresh database.

  • Sansa e280 connects to the pc

    Hello

    I searched on through the forum, but I can't find an answer... my e280 is version 2. It will not connect to any pc (although it worked fine 2 weeks ago). I tried all USB ports and tried the two sons. In the settings, it doesn't have a USB option so I can't change it to each MTP Meteorological Service of the Canada. I have reset the factory settings and formatted but neither makes a difference.

    (Also, when I load it through plug it freezes often and I have to reset it and its timing is terrible - it adds time and loses time so I'll always have to re - set.)

    Help please?

    FYI... I contacted Sansa tech support and they said that my drive was dead and replaced by a rocket.

    Don't know what's happening, you do not give a lot of information, but if you have the constant beachballing (spinning wait cursor), which could mean that the hard drive is dying.

  • Dead watch - repair service apple request for transmission in French - no address?

    Is weird - we have a watch dead and filled out the forms online to send it in - service demand went- but no email was sent and no form, no label shipping, no instruction or web page indicate us where to send to!?

    Our "repair" status is blocked in-step 1: application

    What is going on?  The user interface for the service is horrible.  No idea what's going on.  No idea where to send them.  A 1 week wait 'permission' just to take it into a store local and even take it for repair.  The bloat and bureaucracy is palpable - I've used Apple products for 32 years, but if I was a user of 1st period (like my husband), this experience would lead me away!

    Sorry you're going through this hassle.

    At this point, it would be preferable to communicate directly with Apple > Contact - official Apple Support

  • How do I know if a dead iPhone recharges?

    My iPhone 5s has temperament type, and I have to shake the cable around a bit before it will load sometimes. Normally, it's all right, because you are simply looking for the icon of the lightning next to the load indicator.

    On this occasion, the phone is completely dead, and now I can not tell of the enigmatic symbols on the screen tells me that he is in charge, and tells me that it needs to be plugged.

    Sometimes I have an empty battery with low power red icon, and sometimes I have the same thing, only with an icon of a connector of lightning at the bottom of the screen.

    Who's who?

    Left: needs to load, charger not connected.

    Right: must be loaded, load current.

    The only way that you can be able to get the Activation lock removed is if you provide a death certificate and the original proof of purchase for the device. Take it into an Apple Store. They will have to determine if they have enough information to disable locking.

  • The version of ESR on the ftp site is exceeded - the ftp site is dead?

    Munki allows us to deploy the version of ESR of Firefox. Normally, we check the updates here:

    http://FTP.Mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/Mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/latest-ESR/Mac/en-us/

    However, the version here (from today ' hui - 10 Nov) is always 38.3.0 - and not the current 38.4.0

    This FTP site is dead? Or someone not the update? (One wonders if he is dead because the no - ESR 'releases' subdirectory has no consumer 42.0 version either...)

    Thank you!

    You will need a notarized copy of his death certificate, evidence that you were indeed the legal device heir and the evidence that she was the original owner before his death. Take these as well as the phone to your local Apple store where they can help you.

  • When a Apple Watch looks dead

    They gave me a Apple Watch for my birthday in may 2016. It has worked perfectly since then - until tonight.

    I went to check the time a few minutes ago, but the watch appears to be quite dead.

    I was it load every day night - it's usually about 65%, when I go to bed. There has been no sign of battery problems.

    None of the controls on the watch, or the display has no effect. I put the watch on the charger but nothing happens, except the charger get very hot.

    Before returning the watch, is there something that I do not I can try?

    Hello

    Try restarting your watch force: hold down the side button and the digital Crown for about 10 seconds, until you see the logo.

    If this does not help, then try to charge your watch for about 2.5 hours, making sure that you follow the instructions from here:

    After this period, if it has not already restarted automatically, remove it from the charger and:

    -Try to restart it (by pressing the side button until you see the Apple logo).

    -If necessary, then try force it restarts again.

  • Dead Pixel 6s iPhone 16GB

    I got my iPhone at the end of May.

    I had to restore my iPhone and connect it to another computer, because when I tried to transfer my music to a new laptop, he stated that it could not be established with two different iTunes.

    After putting my iPhone in about a week, he now has a pixel on the screen it is on the upper left side, but kind of more in the Middle, not under the name of carrier. There is also a blackish research brand. I don't know if it is also a pixel or something else.

    It is not on a screen protector I've ever had a still.

    On any page of safari or white page on the iPhone, it is clear and hard to miss the black mark and if you look carefully at the tiny pixel.

    I have never dropped my phone and kept in excellent condition.

    Apple will replace my iPhone? I have the Apple Care 1 year warranty.

    The iPhone was bought directly from online from Apple for $1006 site, I didn't buy Apple Care +.

    Will Apple Replace this screen for a price of replacing it for free?

    Thank you

    Dead pixels are covered by the warranty. Take your phone to an Apple Store and they will test it. I had an iPad replaced for free as collateral because of dead pixels.

  • Cannot use the option button to access the folder of bookmarks hidden on a dead drive

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.7.5, and I can easily access the folder on my current drive by pressing the option key (so that the hidden library appears) then get bookmarks of otherwise hidden files (since it's my new boot drive)

    BUT

    I need to copy / move my LAST favorites since ten days previously, a dead hard drive. The drive is usable, just not able to start.

    BUT

    Since this amazing new 'hold option on GO in the Finder menu to see the invisible library feature' (sarcasm) requires your operating system to be started, I can't access the bookmarks folder in the library. How can I do this if the Finder is not started on the dying drive? Is - this make any sense?
