• In the Sansa View player charge battery

  I just bought Sansa View 16 GB drive.

  I have a question about recharging the battery.

  We need to turn the player to load it?

  Can't he stay OFF and always charge the battery is?

  What is the latest firmware, we should have about this player that will give maximum benefit without compromising on the battery life?

  Just plug in your computer, you cannot turn it off. If its charge by the wall leaves on it, it'll be fine. I don't think he will then only off the coast. The latest firmware is the best.

  I hope this helps, Happy New Year

• The Sansa View headphone jack repair

  How to fix a headphone jack for listening to Sansa View problem

  I bought a refurbished Sansa View 8 GB a while back for $60 at a hypermarket on the local computer and
  It came with a political guarantee of 60 days and 30 days of return of the store.  I liked the view better
  only the rocket and the Clip, they had for similar prices because of the larger screen.  At the time I'm not
  know that Sandisk has been gradually the support of support for new players, or about the
  others have had to problems.
  On the second day, I had the player, I noticed that the headphones were not playing both
  channels correctly, and if I shook the card he got much louder.  I could the deal and he would play
  good for awhile and then a channel would cut out randomly.  After some research, I found that
  others have had the same problem.  I tried to return it, but somehow, I had lost the hardback cover
  that describes the product and contains the chisel, and they could not return.  They would have
  I would like to swap with someone else and his sleeves to return the original unit, but they sold the
  them and never got over.  I think I was about $ 60 at that time here, so I went
  back line for further research.  I found a guy on this forum who had disassembled one, therefore, using
  his instructions (with some modifications), I took mine hand, found the bad soldering and fixed
  them.  Here's how:

  1. use a PIN or sharp knife to release the tiny connector black rubber that covers the screw
  It must be removed to open the case; It is located to the right of the usb plug (ahead of)
  Reader).  Put the CAP and the screws that you remove so later in a small Tupperware
  you do not lose them.
  2. remove the screw, with a very small phillips head of a glasses or a good game repair kit
  precision screwdrivers.
  3. the bottom right corner should now be free; Remove the plastic cover of metal
  Basic it and work slowly around the case counterclockwise, separating the nail of the thumb
  If you're going to.  You may need to use a tiny flat head to press the strips in transparent plastic
  which become visible when you move along the line of separation.  Take your time in order to not break
  no label.  Finally you get to the last tab in the lower left corner of the headphone jack.
  This is where I had my only problem.  Other blogs say to lift a lever to more
  release this tab; I found that nothing seemed to free him and after several minutes of
  soft eyes I broke something and it came loose.  I think it was super-colle in place!
  4. I didn't take away the little water that connects the encoder in the Council, because it is very
  difficult to re - install these things, so just press the cover of how to get to the screen and
  Live PC.  There are 2 tiny black screws holding the display remove them and
  equivalent it loose, leaving the attached ribbon cable again
  5. now you can see the battery; out of its niche and disconnect the 3 tiny dumb son.
  Nector and set it aside.
  6. push the lid, so you can see the 3 tiny black screws holding circuit board printed; delete
  them (the last is difficult to see, it's in the corner to the right of the headphone jack).  Equivalent
  the Platinum (the cursor for the power switch appears immediately switch).  You should now be
  looking at the empty metal casing and the display, printed circuit board and a plastic cover should
  all be loose, but still connected by two ribbon cables.  In the Tupperware you
  should have 1 small black cap, 1 small silver screw, 5 small black screws, the slider switch.
  and the battery.
  7. I now inspect the plug welds helmet, and it was very obvious that 2 of
  the legs were loose, probably because of not enough solder on them.  I warmed up a little
  flat-head screwdriver precision with a mini torch and has used and very fine electronics
  welding to weld safely.  After a thorough inspection of the other joints, I decided to leave
  alone because they looked OK.
  8. I now plugged the battery and booted up the test before I re-assembled.  Both
  channels played now, but I've always heard some static when you turn the CAP.  I have fig-
  measured, it was normal in my experience with small electronic devices, so I assembled the player
  and more broadly, tried using headphones and a cable to connect to my receiver.  He
  now worked better, but still had some problems with making good contact.  Now at least I can
  He lay and he will play both channels indefinitely.  I think that the problem is related to the
  bad quality of decision-making.
  9. I'm going to use it at work for a while with my powered speaker system and see how it
  works.  In the future I will try to clean the plug with the electronic device, and if that does not work
  help can I go back in and try a few welding more or contacts inside making bending.
  Worst case I might have to find a plug of new, high quality and weld them, hoping that I don't fry
  whatever it is the heat.

  So repair all taken only an hour (excluding research).  I now have the confidence to
  Difficulty everything that can go wrong in the future.  I could swap the battery in 10 minutes and I
  hear they are only about $20, so I could keep this thing going for years.  I went from $ 60
  brick for a machine that could last a long time.  I wouldn't buy a Sansa View,.
  But if you have already, I sincerely hope that this information will help to...

  It's my last update to my problem of current headphones.  The view is now fixed; Although having a few changes

  appearance.  It now sports an inch and one-quarter long cast taken helmet hanging out where the taking of origin to reside.  You can laugh now, but not for too long, because this thing is perfect now!  The repair is also robust enough to

  Use it as a portable device (carry in your pocket or other) without worrying too ripped loose.

  Here's how I did it:

  After disassembly, I unsolder the old jack, carefully lift one corner at a time, until all 6 solder joints were loose.  The

  2 front and 2 rear tabs are on enveloping metal clips which can be removed separately.  The old jack appears just out of it

  slot in the jury.  Earlier, I bought an extension of 3.5 mm headset (with volume control, $8.99, p/n 4202559) from Radio Shack, just because it was the smallest molded into the store.  They had one for $2.49, what was right, but it was twice as big, so I spent the extra bucks because he must fit into the original hole.  I now have it cut and stripped the wires, leaving only an inch of thread on the new socket.  Then I soldered the 3 wires in their appropriate places, as

  as a result;  looking at the top of the Board, with the power switch facing you, you have 6 contacts arranged like this.

  : the 2 middle are positive of left and right, top left (ground) common to both channels. The others are only to secure the plug to the Board of Directors.   After brazing firmly the son I just put all together. the ribs on the molded strain relief perfectly nested within the original hole in the case, then it will not easily get out but retains some flexibility.  The only problem I see is that the case is not quite keep hanging down in that corner more, but that could easily be corrected by a small drop of super glue.  I'll do it later if it seems that the case is in danger of seperating

  or if the wire pulls.  I have also considered the fill area with hot melt glue, but who could do a more difficult future repair.  I think that super glue will be the best and is still to open again if you only use a microdot of glue.

  So after all this pain and suffering, I finally a player, maybe I can use for years to come.  Total cost:

  Given to nine Sansa View 8 GB... $60.00

  RadioShack 3.5 mm ext. p/n 4202559... $9.00

  Duracell Micro SD card 8GB... $20.00

  Total .........................................................................$89.00

  Of course, I could buy a 16 brand new notice of GB for that price, with one year warranty!  Well, NOW you can laugh,

  as long as you want!  But wait a minute, I would have just the same problem with a new, a week or a month

  After the purchase?  Then I could send it to Sandisk for RMA and after paying for delivery, and in the meantime maybe a month to get him back, I would have another new view to manhandle.  So a year later, after the replacement of my 3rd or 4th, the guarantee was due to expire, and I do repair above on it to make it work, having had the use of the thing for only 6 months of the first year, what with shipment will remind it so many times!  So maybe my path is correct. at least I use throughout the day now, and I'll NEVER have to send anywhere.

  The moral of this story is: don't out cheap if you want a decent PMP - spend $150-200 for a Samsung P3 or a

  Cowon S3; both have video and excellent sound and can read files DivX 800 x 600 without conversion, have tactile and menus screens customizable, not to mention the bigger screens.  If you just need to play music, there are a myriad

  players good markets that are simple and almost indestructible and if you lose or break will be a much less expensive than lesson

  that I've learned.

• The Sansa View will work with USB 1.0?

  I'm buying a Sansa View 8 GB as there are has exceptional offers out there right now.  However, I don't have USB 1.0 on my computer (in XP), can I use the Sansa?   I realize it load probably wouldn't work - I would just buy a power adapter.  I am concerned about the question to know if I can transfer files, etc.   If it's just the speed-, not a deal breaker.  If this is all simply does not work - a lot more thought will have to go into this purchase possible.

  Thank you!

  Thanks for the reply!  I did go ahead and buy one with the Geeks - as they had a very good price.  It should be here tomorrow.  I also bought a power adapter.

  I'll look into putting in a USB 2.0 card.  I had considered before but didn't know if it would support my motherboard.  Just getting worse - my mom has a new computer with USB 2.0 in the next room.

  I've already knew the earbuds and have some that I had bought to replace the one my Zen.

• How to make album art to show the Sansa Fuze player?

  Yesterday I synced my music library while using windows media player 11, and then while listening to the songs on it, I noticed that a lot of the albums had no coverage of the art in my rocket and I was wondering if someone can help me on this please appreciate it.

  the folder that contains your songs must be a jpeg file (or BMP I think) with the name folder.jpg file. the jpeg can be any image, of course, but I think you might want the cover of the album itself! If it does not correctly try to reduce the size (resolution) of the image. in general, the size of the jpeg file is 16 KB. You can include a second image (whose name escapes me now) I think that appears when you select the album in your list, and the old image is dispalyed while play songs in your fiolder. difference is the resolution of the images (which is the same image); When you select the album to play one is smaller. Good luck. will be back here tomorrow with the name of the name of this second image if someone here do not beat me to it.

• Sansa View does not synchronize with the computer after the first connection

  Hey guys,.

  I just bought a refurbished Sansa View which has the latest firmware on it. I logged on to the computer and selected "view in the folder. I downloaded some stuff and disconnected.

  Now, whenever I try to connect it again, the computer or the Sansa Connect. The Sansa start loading, but the 'Sync' screen does not appear on it. The computer shows nothing and the device does not appear in Device Manager or my computer as it did the first time. If I look through the USB devices in Device Manager I see a device using the power, but that's all.

  I tried the "MSC Mode" setting in the Sansa View settings, but it is not always connect. Don't hold.<" while="">

  I use Windows XP, SP3.

  Any help would be really appreciated,

  Thank you

  Nevermind, apparently, you need to do to reset once changed the settings in MSC mode on the player. It works fine now!

• Sansa View cannot read files on himself

  My opinion does see the files stored on the TI more. I'm syncing a new CD with the help of drag / move. I always sync stuff in MTP mode now because I would like to use it through my xbox. After synchronization, the player has been refreshing the database and as usual the player rebooted itself, but the hold button is on and it didn't start. So I turned it back and when I went to make sure that the files were in sync with all the tags, I discovered that I had nothing more. No songs, artists, albums, videos, photos, fm presets, nothing. When I checked the system information it showed that I had left 7053 Mb of space. It shows 0 songs, artists etc. in the info too. I have it plugged into my computer and both of the MTP and MSC computer couldn't find all the files. My Xbox can read all files well. I have reset the player everything than the default etc. I have same trandferred files more so he can update the entirely new database, it did not work. Formatting is not an option, because my computer had just disc erased after obtaining a series of Trojan virus. All images, videos and music files have been saved on my drive temporarily. I can not replacemost lost files because they were the only copies. I need to get back them, does anyone have an idea?

  Thanks in advance, cccInitiate

  I solved my problem. Since my Xbox can detect files I again they were always there. I have connected my player to the computer in MTP mode again and check the telus run a virus, more precisely on removable disks with a description of FAT32. One of them was my player, the reinstalled computer equipment for display. I got it and then reload the memory of you device scan FAT32. Once the scan is finished, I could see the files on my computer in MTP mode only. However the view did not see files on himself. Done on the computer in MTP mode, on that I removed an album, then replace it. When I disconnected my player he refrshed his memory again, this time taking about 5-6 minutes. When he was done, I got all my files back.

  If someone has never problems to view the files on the drive, connect to their computers in MTP mode. DO NOT OPEN A FOLDER TO VIEW FILES ON THE SANSA VIEW DEVICE. Ignore the message, select take no action and open my computer. From there, you can open removable disk_VIEW ANSA. Do not open the small image of the view, and then transfer files from 10 or if the player off and then back on. Wait for the drive to update its database and everything will be good.

  I hope that someone who saves a little headaache. Good day

• May not know how to get a playlist on Sansa View

  This is my first MP3 player, so I'm a little lost.

  For the test, I've renamed 3 of my songs like this:

  song - 1.mp3

  song - 2.mp3

  song - 3.mp3

  Using Windows Explorer, I copied the three files in the music folder on the Sansa player (who came as drive F: on MyComputer).

  Then, I created a playlist in WMP and recorded on the Sansa player. In Wordpad, the file looks like:

  #EXTM3U
  #EXTINF:0, song - 1.mp3
  .. \MUSIC\song-1.MP3

  #EXTINF:0, song - 3.mp3
  .. \MUSIC\song-3.MP3

  #EXTINF:0, song - 2.mp3
  .. \MUSIC\song-2.MP3

  I tried to save this file (Playlist5.m3u) several places - I recorded it in the music, in the root folder, in the folder to the playlist, in the system folder and the subfolders of system. But when I go to "Playlists" on my Sansa, I don't see any named playlists.  It is empty.

  I looked at the FAQ about playlists. Several people have said you can right click on your MP3 files and look for an option called "Make the Playlist" - I don't see this option on my machine.

  Found the problem.  Apparently the update of the firmware installation invalid in MTP Mode Windows drivers.  I was suspicious because WMP 11 of the Sansa View screen has not shown a "Playlists" folder in "Sansa View".  I put my Sansa View USB Mode in Auto Detect and checked the Device Manager and it showed the Sansa View with an error for no driver installed for a MTP device.  I installed the driver and the display in WMP 11 changed to display the folder "Playlists".  I have synced Playlists that I wanted and the playlists and the music have been moved to the Sansa View.

• Sansa View MicroSD + ID3 tags

  Hello

  The Sansa View fits the ID3 tags of songs on the MicroSD card in the library? I have a few dozen songs on my MicroSD, all the tag using Windows Explorer, but they have all displayed as 'unknown' in the library view.

  Thanks for any help.

  -Rob

  I do not know what version of Windows ID3 writes the tags like, but Sansas prefer ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. You can use a program like MP3Tag to edit (and change the version, if necessary) the tags and see if that helps.

• Sansa View not recharge, but the battery becomes hot, no blue ring

  I just bought a Sansa View, my first MP3 player. It did not really work just yet, I've had a week now. The battery life is very short.

  What I can't understand is this evening when I plugged it in to recharge, it will not respond with the blue ring and the battery/back of the appliance becomes hot.

  The laptop USB or the wall socket taken USB now works. He's dead and not answering anything either (but not hot to the touch).

  Jiggling the plug does not help. It is a problem of dealbreaker.

  I will exchange it tomorrow unless someone has a bright idea!

  something is certainly wrong internally, battery and wiring autour seems likely. Get it not traded, that's exactly what you need to do and someone must relay this sandisk problem, because if it is a fault of power, then thers probably more then a player with the potential to make this happen.

• Watch USB key and not the Sansa player

  When I plugged in my sansa e260 v1 to the computer for the first time, I think what he recognized as a sansa e260.  Well, I wanted to get rid of the files of stock on the player that I did the format process (Virgin sansa.fmt file).  Well I did, and now it seems that whenever I plug the sansa to the computer, the computer just shown as a USB key.  I can click on the drive and it shows all folders on the sansa and I can drag and drop files into the music folder and they seem to play ok, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced my problem.  When I moved on several MP3s (about 10), the player says 'written' for hours.  Now, I also placed on 1 song and disconnected the sansa when the computer showed that it has been copied but the sansa continued to show "writing".  Another question I have is can I installed rockbox.  When I try it says "disk access denied permission.  All of the above questions, I have the sansa player has been in MSC mode.  I had the most up-to-date firmwaree also when these issues were ongoing.  I have downgraded the firmware but didn't try something else without some advice.  I m running Windows vista.  I really like this player and hope, that I can get rid of these questions, and then I'll be totally satisfied.   Thank you for your time in advance.   I hope that I gave all the information that would be required.  If this isn't the case, I'll try to provide some other info someone may need.

  I called Sansa.  They accompanied me through the formatting through windows.  They could not tell me something, all being stuck in the writing mode if other say formatting it may fix this problem.  I wish they could just come out and say tehre is a bug and they do not have a fix for this.

• My Sansa MP3 player does not connect to the Windows Media Player.

  I connected several times using the same wires.  This time THAT WMP says "connect a device" in the upper right corner.  This is probably an easy fix.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Hi, Carl L_942,.

  Connect the Sansa Fuze and put into MSC mode. This enabled the majority of users with this problem. Check if it helps you too.

  For more information, see:

  Activation or forcing MSC mode on the Sansa player

  Additional reference on:

  Check and change the device to the master or the MTP USB mode

  The only problem with Media Player 11 and Sansa device is the synchronization of album art to the device.

• Fully formatted my Sansa Clip, in any case I can reinstall the firmware from scratch?

  I've deleted some songs using a Mac but noted they were still playable from my sansa and when I plugged on a PC the files not found so I decided it would be a fine idea to format the thing and reinstall from scratch.

  I'm having a little trouble finding how do and now starting to worry that my pure idiocy has ruined my sansa clip for me.

  I was running Rockbox when this whole thing started, if that helps at all.

  When plugged into a computer screen 'Bootloader USB mode' bed and when unplugged it reads "File not found", then "USB Plug cable.

• Impossible to copy files to the Sansa Fuze using Windows 7 (drag and drop, or Windows Media Player)

  Hello

  Yesterday, I bought the Sansa Fuze and I have problems copying files to the device using either Windows Media Player (Sync) or Drag and Drop (Explorer).

  The symptoms are:

  (1) the device is recognized and available in Windows 7 (Series USB MSC - sorry don't have it with me right now)

  (2) took me to upgrade to the latest firmware, which has worked flawlessly

  (3) when I try to drag and drop a file on the device (I use Windows 7, 64-bit), it starts, but doesn't seem to calculate the size of the files or waiting time to download correctly.  It is followed by a slow progressive, until the computer crashes, resulting in a constant 100% of the CPU.  The only solution is a hard reboot

  (4) when you use Windows WM, the device is recognized, okay and the synchronization starts, but it then stops without reason.  Once again, the processor springs and requires a reboot

  (5) using the results 3 and 4 in 1-5 files being copied across, but not more.

  (6) I tried several albums and one album at a time, but cannot determine if that makes a difference.

  Help, please!

  See you soon,.

  Richard

  It may be a bug in Windows 7. But one thing to try is to go to the Device Manager (assuming that Windows 7 still has), uninstall the "rocket" (under USB controllers), and then run add hardware to find and reinstall the driver.

  Use the MTP with Windows Media Player mode, MSC mode without.
