Sansa Clip + short circuit

My sansa clip + stops or crashes whenever the slightest Pressure is applied to the front. I'm relatively sure that there is a short circuit somewhere in the unit. This makes using it almost impossible and incredibly infuriating that it accepts several tries to get to what I want to hear without freezing. Whenever it freezes and if off, it resets to where it was when I turned it on, which is also irritating. I tried to restart it and I'm relatively sure that it is not a software problem. I had the player for about two years, although I him have not used exclusively as I had a phone that played music (I lost this phone last week). This problem has been present for several months and I'm not very eager to buy a new player, as the clip has been very useful and well done before this problem.

Looks like it's a Goner. Fortunately, they are relatively expensive. It's not as if you replace a Cowon for $250 - $ 300.

  • 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.

  • Sansa Clip + got wet, only volume buttons do not work, the volume on a PC?

    Hi my Sansa Clip + has been for some time on the rain and I guess that wet - volume keys do not work, all other functions OK

    TI now on "too lo wvolume" I solved it before that.

    1. is it possible to adjust my volume (now its too low after reset) on a PC connected via USB? Kind of hack volume...

    2. it should not happen, but I try send a guarantee? Maybe the wet sensors are OK cause it was just a rain...

    Any other probability/cost to fix in any fix Center "e"?

    Thank you!

    First of all, NEVER try to turn on or turn on an electronic device while it is still wet!

    You will very probably short something internally that will kill him forever!

    1 n °

    2. the warranty is for MFG. any defect of manufacture or material only! It does not include misuse of customer, as leaving in the rain, take it into the shower with you, a fall in the toilet, he swims, wear or leave it in your pocket and then do your laundry.

    2. SanDisk has not not any Center electronic "fix."

    The only thing you can do is to place the device in a bag of uncooked rice dry several days absorb moisture inside.  Since you've already played with wet it is doubtful that this will help, but it won't hurt to try.

  • Sansa clip + does not load correctly

    My sansa clip + acted weird lately. When my battery runs out and stops automatically my sansa, I just go free. It takes about an hour to go from 0% to about 65%. but after that, it slows down the charging process a lot. in two hours, it will go up only about 10%. my computer is marking battery bad? also: so that my computer "Refresh" the battery I have to unplug the usb and plug it back in. all tips would be appreciated, thanks

    It's the way they are supposed to work. When the charge level of the battery increases, the load in the drive circuit slows down the amount of fees being accepted since the source until it is just a trickle. In this way it does not generate too much heat build up that is detrimental to both the player and the battery itself.

    And Yes, if you connect in MTP mode you can see the level of charge on your computer. But it will not refresh unless you disconnect and reconnect. Besides, you can see as well information on the player screen if you need to see a real battery level percentage. But it still takes say connection of your computer to see this.

    I think that if you use a charger AC - UCB this info is at your disposal, even while charging. I don't know if it updates in real-time, however.

  • Questions on Sansa Clip + units purchased in different stores: there are slight differences?

    Hello all-

    My spouse and I bought a SanDisk Sansa Clip + 4 GB in different stores the same day.  We intend to keep only one and the packaging is slightly different, so after a brief purchase background, I have some questions as to the differences between the two in order to solicit advice as to who to keep and which you want.

    CONTEXT OF PURCHASE:

    Two units have been sold at the same price, both have the same UPC and the return of the policies/guarantees for two stores seem to be identical.  The color of each is the same (black) and the exercise of copyright for packing at the rear is 2010 for both, that is: (c) 2010 SanDisk Corpation.  We have not broken the seal on each box and do not want to facilitate the return of one.

    What is different?

    I bought my unit to H.H.Gregg here in the United States, and the number above the same UPC's:

    SDMX18R-004GK-C57

    And here's the UPC number:

    80-56-09564 - 004 G

    My spouse bought at best buy and the number above the UPC:

    SDMX18R-004GK-A57B

    And here is the UPC:

    80 56-09570 - 004 G

    In addition, those bought at H.H.Gregg indicates 'Software Rhapsody', and the Rhapsody logo under 'quick start guide' in the column of "Content" on the left side of the box while one bought at best buy Rhapsody No mention outside of the box.  And with the exception of a white banner with "Sansa Clip + 4 GB" on the face at the bottom of the box purchased at best buy, the type of packaging, graphics and colors look identical.  Both made in China.

    MY QUESTIONS:

    1 - does anyone know of any slight difference between the two?

    2. that contains software Rhapsody and the other and if so is the inclusion of this software an additional benefit?  (Never used Rhapsody, but my understanding is that it is similar to iTunes?)  All opinions on this topic is welcome, although I've never used iTunes and maybe not a similar service.  The software takes more space and it is difficult to remove if I don't want to?)

    3. I suspect the above number ending by "-A57B" (i.e. with a ' B' versus without him) indicates Sansa units shipped to the and sold through Best Buy, where the 'B '.  Is this correct?

    4. However, the numbers which could describe the difference between two low, the middle parts which are "- 09570 -" and "- 09564-"? "»  Is the '- 09570 -"a model a little later?  (Again, the "-09570-" is that of HHGregg, without any indication of Rhapsody.)

    5. who would keep you, or is it just a case of flip a coin?

    Sorry for nit-picky issues, but I recall reading some interest in the version material different numbers with the other units of Sansa and the benefits of one over the other and I was wondering if there might be a hardware update version at play here as well.

    Thanks for your time! :-)

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

    Changed to correct typo:

    The first issue of the unit to buy at best buy should have a 'B' added at the end, as I was writing it under 'MY QUESTIONS'.  It is:

    SDMX18R-004GK-A57B

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

    Edit #2 to fix typo:

    "column" vs "colum".

    • There are two slightly different OLED controllers, a new is no longer requires an offset of 2 pixels and WRT different brightness/contrast adjustment. It is versions in Rockbox.

    MM-

    Interesting, thank you for researching it! I tried before that my post came but dry.

    Until then the objective eye differences?  I would be particularly interested in distinctions of subjective performance between the tuner chips, if any, that the radio will receive a daily use.  Also welcome all favor referring to other physical differences such as brightness/contrast screen.

    Still, I guess there is no way to distinguish between the two by the package box numbers and that a practical diagnosis is necessary?

    Thanks to all the other replies, in particular the ideas of Rhapsody.

    (Incidentally, I'm curious to know if there are differences in sound quality - dynamic, range, volume, all - between the Clip + and Sansa alays such as the "rocket" or same-track playback on each indistinguishable?)

    Thank you!

    JVR

    JVR, I don't think that there should be no difference in performance between them. Most likely the changes have occurred due to a different provider offering a better price on a part of SanDisk. My two readers Clip + the two appear identical in every way. And insofar as comparing them to the "rocket", I have two rockets as well, and they seem to everyone to play and hear the same way, at least using the Sansa firmware.

  • USB disabled after the update of the Sierra (a short circuit and a work)

    Hi, when I bought my mbp 13 inches mid2012 (used, not new) I noticed that a USB port did not work. In the Yosemite sometimes I noticed that a USB port consumed too much energy and have been disabled. (I think because the usb port has been short-circuited. Year when it was time to update the mbp to El Capitan I had a few panic the kernel and the newspaper was shown as the last driver loaded the USB driver, so I kept the mbp with Yosemite. A few days ago, I updated for Sierra but only usb which used to work stopped working. It has enabled and turned on but Finder and disk utility does not see the drive. In an Apple dealer they said that could be established relationships with some oxide and next week will take it and see what the problem is.

    If there is someone with the same problems, please tell me what to do! I don't want to put in the trash my mac just for a flash drive... but I need!

    Hi Supermene,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Based on what you said, it appears as a USB device is not recognized in one of the USB ports. There are a few things that can cause this. I recommend you read these articles, which may be able to help solve the problem.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  • Lenovo T61 cannot turn on after short circuit

    Dear Sir/Madam

    I saw a low battery warning displayed on my lenovo t61, quickly, I plugged an ac cable while the power was on. As a result short circuit, no longer works.

    I tried the trick after pressing 10 times on the power switch. He worked, prompted me to bios settings. Once restarted in windows screen, the battery icon showed very low before he past.

    I can't charge my battery even, I used a newly purchased AC adapter. Using an ac adapter without battery inserted also fail to power on. Please help me.

    Hi bert958,

    Sounds like a motherboard, probably a dead fuse problem.

    But because the fuses are soldered, you will need a new motherboard unless you can fix it yourself.

  • Short Circuit on the inductor

    Hello.. I have a simple request. How is Multisim includes a short circuit? I take a DC source connected to a coil. When I do short, it is to show me a msg like "the driver gets burned" or something like that. Instead, it shows a straignt line in an oscilloscope. I can't prove this thory in Multisim, "a short circuit is a connection of small accidental resistance between two nodes of an electrical circuit that are supposed to be at different voltages. This translates into excessive electric current (overcurrent) limited only by the equivalent resistance of Thevenin from the rest of the network and potentially causes circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion. "I will be happy to receive the exact solution.

    Hi, Mr. Gil,.

    Multisim is ideal and it will tell you if there is a short circuit.

  • 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!

  • 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.
