My Sansa Clip is DEAD.

So I was in the back seat of the car, listening to music, when all of a sudden, he just DIED. I thought that maybe the battery was dead (although it was unlikely that the power was 80 + %). When I got home, I connected on the computer to charge.

... nothing.

I tried to turn it on, the buttons down, trying to get a sign that it might still work, but nothing has changed.

It was not what I was doing which would have made him give outm like that.

Help, please! I would like to know why he died and if I can fix it!

This scenario and the question is asked several times a week...

Reset it. If you have a Clip (original) hold the slide switch on the side in the top position for 20-30 seconds. Do not guess; count (a mississippi, mississippi two, etc.), or use a clock.

With the Clip + press and hold the power button for the same amount of time. It must now start and operate normally.

  • Sansa Clip + doesn't turn on

    I need to know how to get a replacement for my Sansa clip.  It was purchased through Amazon on 2.19.14.

    It lights when not connected to the computer.  It remains quite dead.  It lights up when it is connected, and it is recognized by the computer.  I am able to transfer files when it is connected to the computer.  As much as I know it was not dropped or damaged.

    I tried things.

    I tried to reset the player several times.

    I tried to reformat the drive

    I plugged in the charger and left more than 2 days.

    I have it plugged into the computer and he left.

    Always as soon as I disconnect the computer it goes completely dark.

  • Sansa Clip + crashes

    Hello!

    for some time, I have a 8 GB Sansa Clip + - and I've always been very happy and very pleased with it.

    Yesterday I received news MP3-songs of a friend of mine (music of his group - so nothing illegal). Listened on my laptop - all right.

    So I copied them on my clip, disconnected from the laptop, expected that the database has been updated to a new folder (void) and I wanted to hear new music. The time was the first time I tried, the Sansa logo came, and after a while the setting menu appeared. Then I tried another time, the screen starts to move in the list of music to the play screen (the one with the title of the music and the break...) but the clip got stuck. I can see now on the left half in part list in this folder and on the right half partially the game screen. And that's it: the clip is dead. I can rely on what I want, but nothing happens. I can connect to the laptop, but he doesn't realize the clip. The only thing I can do to wait ist until the battery is empty, and then the player is running again. But only with all the old music (and a few other new music I copied yesterday). As soon as I go to the new folder with music from my friend, I have the same chrash again.

    So I deleted the folder. Make one folder somewhere else and copied the songs to there - same effect

    So I used the Sansa updater - new firmware - same effect...

    .. but as I said - the music on my laptop works perferctly. The only difference I've found (but I don't compared with some old songs) on the new bit of archive is not defined - but I can't test that now I have to wait until the battery is empty for access to my video again...

    Updated - reset funtion works, makes it easier... on the clip, the bit of archive have been set for a reason - but still I put on the laptop and copied their new. No effect.

    After the first error (where the logo appears and after awhile the settings menu) then I can see very short "update database" - I thought that the problem could be here - mtable.sys deleted, disconnected, database has been updated again - always the same s *.

    Someone has an idea of what's going on here?

    see you soon,

    Luis

    The ID3 tags on these new songs are either missing or f'd up.

  • Transfer from Windows Media Player to Zip Sansa Clip

    In the end, I am creating playlists on my Sansa Clip Zip. So I think THAT I have to create a playlist in Windows Media Player and then sync my Sansa Clip Zip. For some reason any I am only able to see 5 playlists, but I know that I have created several of them. In fact, if I try to create a new play list using a name I know, I created, it is said that there are already. How can I see ALL my playlists?

    Also, if I click on playlists for the Sansa Clip Zip it shows I have 9 playlists, but I can't see what they contain!

    Hi Nymickey,

    I suggest you to contact the Sansa Clip Zip support for better support associated with Sansa Clip Zip and check if it helps.

    Hello

    First of all, thanks a lot for taking the time to help me.

    After having tried everything you have suggested and have no chance and then by searching the Microsoft sites, Dell and SanDisk, I finally found a very simple solution that worked.

    Thought I would pass it for any future reference.

    The SanDisk site said to try this:

  • My Sansa Clip does not work

    I use my Sansa Clip when I work at the YMCA. I used it last night and it worked fine then. This morning when I went to the O, it didn't work at all. Once I got home, I plugged into my computer. It still does not work. Why it does not work and I can fix it?

    How about a magic Sansa?

    Slide the switch to position IT and hold it there for 10-15 seconds.  If you have sensitive headphones, you can hear a "click" soft as the device resets.  It is the function of soft reset .  Your Clip should restart normally after the reset.  Try to turn it on as usual.

  • Power outage Sansa Clip

    Hello

    I have a 2 GB Sansa Clip I bought about 4-5 years ago and have been very happy with it.

    He runs the version of the 01.01.30A software.

    However, recently and for no apparent reason suffering from power cuts.

    It would just turn off, no matter how much battery there left, how long it has been running or what he does. And when we turn on (which is sometimes hard to do) he can't remember the last thing he was playing.

    After further tests it seems to turn off when put under different angles, almost as if there is a piece on the inside that is open/close the connection. When shaking a slight ratteling inside there, but I can't be certain that's not making noise power switch.

    Of course, this looks like a hardware problem.

    So, how can I open it and fix it? Is there a diagram somewhere I can look at?

    Thank you

    Max

    Well, I opened it and looked around in there.

    True, the battery had detached from its adhesive strips and pulled the loose battery negative cable.

    Gently, I took out the battery and was able to resolder the wire and test that it works before you all shut up.

    My double-sided adhesive foam Strip seemed to be too thick, so I used a drop of silicone glue to prevent the battery from moving around.

    All together again once, case snapped back and forth between them well.

    A little notation around the seam is a small price to pay for a media player that fully operational once again.

    Thanks for all your suggestions!

  • Sansa Clip + question

    Hello, I am really considering buying the Sansa Clip + for the race, and I just want to know one thing.

    When in Shuffle mode and you accidentally skip a song, are you able to return to the song you just jump by pressing the back button?

    I only ask this because my Archos can not, she keeps just still dragging on the back button.

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards, Daniel.

    Yes.

  • Headphone Jack does not fit into my new Sansa Clip +.

    Hello

    I just bought a new Sansa Clip + so I could listen to my songs while he's on vacation, but when I put in my profile 3.5 headphone jack into the hole on the side of the mp3 player, it will not thoroughly and grave if I don't hold him properly. That is how a Sansa Clip + is? because I found it very boring.

    I hope someone can answer quickly because I'll be on vacation in a week about. And sorry for my English because it is not my mother tongue.

    When the player is again taking is very tight and it takes a little force to get the plug completely.

  • Can not record songs on a Sansa Clip +.

    I recently bought the Sansa Clip + and it has firmware version V01.01.05F and the song rate feature doesn't seem to work. I choose 1-5 stars and select the choice, but the note is not saved. Another poster asked a similar question and its solution involved affecting USB MTP mode, but this has not worked for me. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    OK I thought about it, the new firmware fixed this problem for me.

  • Sansa clip + does not see the audio books I have loaded

    I got my Sansa Clip MP3 player + for two years and it works very well, so far.  I only use it for audio books.  Recently, I reformatted the player and loaded new books in.  When I went to read, the audio books folder was empty.  I have connected the player to the computer again, and the books were in the audio books folder, where I had loaded.

    I've updated the firmware to the V01.02.16A Version, and there was no change.  I tried to reset by pressing the start button. No change.

    Memory has 3750 MB with 3135 free, indicating that there are books in memory, but the player does not see the.  What is going on?

    That's all!  I checked the format of audio files.  It is the AAFC, with suffix .m4a.

    The Sansa manual says:

    "The Sansa® MP3 Player will support MP3, WAV, WMA, secure WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and audiobook formats.  I guess that AAC is not one of the formats that they support.  So I have to convert .m4a to .mp3.  I guess there are a lot of tools to do it.  Any suggestions about which one is the best?

    Thanks a lot for this revelation.

  • Organize the Audiobook on Sansa Clip +.

    I'm relatively new to the Sansa Clip. I want to put an audio book on which has a set of 11 disks. I created a title on the drive under audio books. Now I want the title create 11, disk1, disk2, etc. subfolders, to copy the torn in each folder of s to do 11 playlists under the title. That doesn't seem to work. Is this not possible.

    Then I thought about being smart and merged all tore up the files from one disk to do a big mp3 fle (60 + MB) and do this 11 times and copy them under the title and create a playlist. The player doesn't and hung. What gives? Any help wil be appreciated.

    Well, this is what I discovered. Each record indicates that a separate under audio books book. So I changed the label of the album of each disc to the Heading1, Title2 etc and it works. Thank you all for your help. Very much appreciated.
