My Sansa e260 seems to freeze when I start. Help, please?

Hello

For the last two days, my Sansa e260 refused to start completely. It starts, goes to the black screen that sansa logo and then freezes. I took out the battery and turned it works a couple of times. I even let the batteries run out and reload it later to see if that would help. (he didn't)

I really don't want to have to buy a new mp3 player. If anyone can help... Thank you. : )

You may have a bad file that confuses the firmware as it tries to start.

Can connect you to your computer? (Preferably in MSC mode.)

Try to run the error as explained in this FAQ checking.

If this does not work, you will have to Format and delete all of your files. (If you can connect, make copies first - but when you reload, reload only a little at a time if you don't put a bad once again.)

If you can establish a connection to MSC, right click on the drive of the unit (X (any letter): Sansa E200) and choose the Format to FAT32.

Or use the sansa.fmt here:

  • Firefox crashes or freezes when opened. Help, please!

    My firefox does not open. I have been using Firefox without problems for years until yesterday. I have a Mac OS X 10.10.3. Whenever I open Firefox, it immediately crashes or freezes. I have to go to my dock to "force quit" Firefox. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest version of Firefox 38.0.1 several times and no luck. I tried to start Firefox in "safe mode" and as soon as my default screen opens (Yahoo.com) and when I click on anything, whether it's freezing immediately again.

    I'm not able to get Firefox open enough before it freezes to be able to go to 'preferences' to try to change or remove cookies or anything else.

    Also, I had hundreds of bookmarks, when I get Firefox and running, is there a way to recover these bookmarks?

    Currently, I am forced to use Safari which is horrible. Help, please!

    Is there another way to fix the FF on my main account on my computer instead of having to switch everything to another account?

    You do not create another account on the computer. You're doing a

    many profiles under the same user account.

  • My sansa e260 suddenly is energized when I press the power button. Help please

    Hey, today my 260 just stop feeding up out of nowhere. I don't have the latest version of the software package, and when I tried the update, he couldn't. It lights up when I connect the usb cable, but not when its disconnected. Before this he repeated bad tracks on all my songs even if their were not all and kept cutting. Can anyone help me please with this problem?

    It seems that the battery is detached. Open the back (4 small screws, don't lose them), take out the battery, put in comfortably recharges. If it does not reload it, he could be dead - they have no last forever - and you can get a new one on Amazon or eBay.

    For bad tracks, ChkDsk. Might as well do it first, since you can connect.

  • My computer freezes when I start reading CrossFire!

    Dear Sir/Madam
    Can you please recommend an anti freeze program or tell me what to do to stop my game freeze?
    Yours sincerely

    Hi ZakB

    The game may freeze because you might be running out of disk space hard od or RAM installed on your computer is not enough to play the game. Try to increase the RAM of your computer.

    You can use the new feature in Windows Vista "ReadyBoost" to improve the performance of your computer, which therefore will allow you to play the game without freezing.

    For online games, you can try to install the latest version of the flash player
    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

    ==========================================================================================================================

    Windows ReadyBoost can use storage space on some devices of removable media, such as USB flash drives, speed up your computer. When you insert a device with this capability, the AutoPlay dialog box will offer you the option to speed up your system using Windows ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can then choose how much memory to use for this purpose. However, there are some situations where you will not be able to use all of the memory on your storage device to speed up your computer.

    Some bus universal series (USB) storage devices contain both slow and fast flash memory, and Windows can only use fast flash memory to speed up your computer. So if your device contains slow and fast memory, remember that you can only use the fast memory portion for this purpose.

    The amount of memory to use for ReadyBoost acceleration recommended is one to three times the amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer. For example, if your computer has 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM and you plug in a 4 gigabyte (GB) USB flash drive, setting aside from 512 MB to 1.5 GB of that drive will offer the best performance gain.

  • RoboHelp freezes when I start my project

    Hello
    I'm testing RH7 to determine if I'll update. Although I could open my project initially, RoboHelp often frozen, but now it will not even open my project. When I try RoboHelp hesitates for a few minutes and then reports that "RoboHelp Explorer is unable to start Microsoft Word". This happens even if Word is already running. I am able to open the project example of HR, and when I do, I noticed that a RoboHelp menu item is displayed in Word that does not appear when RoboHelp opens Word to open my project. I'm stuck. I tried the repair installation process in the dialog box uninstall, but that made no difference. Can someone advise?

    Hi Peter,.
    Thank you for your help. Changing the security setting has not changed behavior, but I think I solved the problem with a response from Brian on this forum who sent me looking in the right direction when he gave me a clue on a VB type mismatch error that I was getting too. I found the solution in the Word startup folder where deleting some models apparently corrupt or delete the normal.dot template (or both) seemed to have solved the problems, at least temporarily. I see no longer gel HR or model detach or macro or VB errors.

    Hi Thomas,

    You are welcome

    Here is an example of the type of hard drive that would be a suitable substitute.

    1 TB 3.5 "internal hard drive.

    A guide on how to replace the hard drive (including a video preview) can be found on the following link.

    Once the drive has been installed, use your recovery disks to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - a description of this process here.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  • Windows media player crashes when you start cd play

    When I insert a CD in windows media player, screen freezes when cd starts playing and the sound is chopy.

    Hi RonnieDean,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. Are you experiencing a similar problem with a CD you are trying to play using Windows media player?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    See the link below and run the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

    Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Do you have the drivers updated through windows update? If so bad move, all drivers must come from Lenovo.

    CCleaner is not an AV or malware analysis tool, I hope that you do not use the registry tool.

  • Sansa freezes when the memory card is inserted

    I have a 8 GB sansa, the other day I bought a 32 GB Micro SD card but my rocket freezes when I put the memory card if it is already turned on. If it is off, I put the card & turn it on, I can't go past the screen of welcome without it freezing. Any suggestions?

    Where did you got the MicroSD card to? If it is on ebay, you are sure that it is really a 32 GB card? How much did you pay for this? If you have paid for a really cheap price, almost-too-good-to-be-true, then you probably have a fake. Many people have been scammed lately because of this.

    Too good-to-be-true is nothing less than $80 (like around $40). I paid $40 for my 16 gb, so if you find a 32 GB for this amount, it is definitely a scam.

  • Sansa e260-how know when FULLY charged battery

    I just bought a Sansa e260 MP3 player. I have connected to my PC around 16:00, and it is now about 19:00 and the device is always showing the bit at the bottom right - battery indicator green flashing: past left right and to the right of the battery icon, there is a constant display of what appears to be a lighter yellow icon.

    Can someone please tell me how do you know when the battery is fully charged to the top?

    Thank you.

    Thank you all for your very thoughtful advice. I didn't feel OK with the unit, so I returned it and got a Sansa Fuze - 4 GB, and it works like a charm on the same port. I'm very happy with it.

  • Problem loading of Sansa e260

    Hello, I bought 2 Sansa e260 player of Tiger Direct in January. One as one gift, one for my son. We work very well, but the other will not charge. I now have the element of return.  Since he ordered last January, was referred by Tiger to Sansa support.

    When plugged into the computer, it displays a battery icon green on the player, but when he unplugged everything just stops due to the insufficient battery charge.

    What should I do to make this work? Can it be fixed?

    The unit apparently has been renovated as well.

    Well, if it is a re-furb, Technical Support SanDisk won't not be able to help you, other than what seems to indicate, you buy a new battery. They honor only the 1 year warranty on units of '' news. '' With re-furbs, you are left at the mercy of the dealer who sells it to you.

    When it is plugged in, the lightning flashes, indicating that it is in charge? The problem may come from the battery... or it could be the charging circuit in the player. There is only one way to know, and that is to buy a new battery & try it.

    You can find replacement on eBay or Amazon for shipping incl. batteries. $10 / $20.

    Come to think of it, if you can lift the other away from your son for a while, you can replace the batteries in order to isolate the problem before spending money on a farm only to find the circuit load in the other player is fried. If you consider that it's the battery, then you can shop and buy a. If the player of your son is not load or feed the 'other' one, then you will know not not to waste your money on another farm. If this ends up being the case though, don't Chuck there still a lot of salvagable parts, you can use the reader to your son if you need them.

  • Sansa e260

    I am having major problems with my sansa e260. I've had for over a year with no problems, but now I am unable to sync with Windows Media Player. When I sync the songs to the player, and then when I try to play the title, it says bad track. I tried to delete all the music from him, but my files are stuck with random files with names of symbols such as "yg" E "which cannot be deleted. They take on nearly 2.5 from my memory and I can't delete them. It almost seems like a virus, and I download all my music legally through Napster. Is it possible to completely reset the device or is it lost?

    In settings, choose the USB mode (MTP, Meteorological Service of Canada, or vice versa) and see if the traces can be found in my computer or computer. Your computer cannot see a mode at a time.

    To clear everything off, put it in MSC mode, plug it, find the first of the two drives in my computer or computer, do a right click on it and Format in FAT32 (not Quickformat). Which wipes everything, but let only system files.

  • Why TB does not freeze when I click on account settings? (Goes from bad to worse!)

    A few days ago, I posted a question about migration backup emails in TB. I got help, but not a definitive answer to my problems. Unfortunately, my wife and I seem to have created an additional problem which must be resolved before we return to the issue of migration of file. Now, TB freezes when I try to check the settings of an account. This may be due to our attempt to copy an old e-mail folder (file .sbd), in my current profile. That's how it happened:

    We copied a saved .sbd folder to
    C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\pnp8j2nf.default\Mail\Local records
    We have not seen any change in TB.

    Then, in TB, we created a folder under local folders, giving it the same name as the .sbd that we had copied. The content become so visible in TB.

    When I tried to check the settings of an account, TB has frozen. Restart TB did not help. Then we tried to go back to our previous steps by deleting the folder newly created in TB and .sbd file in local folders. I restarted TB and PC, but TB still freezes when we try to check the account settings.

    Think that we could have corrupted profile, we also renamed the 8 character profiles .default under C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles and C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, hoping TB would generate a new profile, but now the TB does not start without the profile.

    We wonder if we should remove profiles.ini or remove its contents to force TB to create a new profile. Any advice on which are originally the gel and how to fix? Thanks in advance.

    Apparent victory! I copied my saved files (trrevilc.default) to

    C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles and edited profiles.ini, changing -
    

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name =TB difficulty
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles /kdtnv197. Fix TB
    Default = 1

    TO

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name =PlanetXP
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles /trrevilc.default
    Default = 1

    and Voila! my darlings old emails and accounts reappeared... even though I have an e-mail account w a problem.

    I'm still wondering (after I backup C:\Users\FF) the best way to remove the other profiles. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again.
