  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.

• Sansa View not to read a micro SD card.

  I have a sansa View 8 GB.  I just got my first sd card.  I loaded music on it from Windows media player 11 on a Vista system, and I don't see any content on the Sansa.  I can see the folder when I insert it into my laptop but I do not see the songs.  What I am doing wrong?

  If you plug your point of view on a USB 1.0 port, you will get a message that says: "this device will not work faster if it is plugged into a 2.0 port. If you do not receive this message, you already have 2.0 and from the age of your computers, they both should be 2.0.

  If your view in my computer as Sansa View, you're auto (or MTP) detection mode. Windows should display files that you have transferred to your view in this mode. I leave my opinion in this mode and have not had any problems to copy or delete any type of file. I have not really found the need for MSC mode.

  Just to check for you, I created a folder music on my card extension and copied an album for her. The view on the album and played it as he does for the music I have in the internal memory.

  The only thing I can think is that the Dell or the card reader adds something to your transfers that conflicts with the view. It is possible that the card reader using MSC mode to view and transfer files to the card. However, the display must always show and play music, but Windows does not display the content because once the card is installed in the view, the view is now in MTP mode, and as already said, files transferred in a mode will be not appear in Windows if the display is in the other mode. I try to leave the card in the view and just use Windows Explorer to copy your music to the card.

  Worked for me, hope it works for you.

• Help! (sansa view)

  When I try to turn on my sansa view all I get is the screen that says SanDisk and then the screen disappears. Its as if it starts to spin and then stops. I tried to reset but it doesn't work! Help, please!

  How you don't format it?

  If it goes over to the menu screen and if it is not recognized by the computer, you can do a format of strength. While it is off, turn on the hold switch and then press and hold the top button or 12oclock wheel. Connect it to your computer and as soon as it turns on, unplug it. It should now ask you if you want to format the device.

• 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

• 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.

• 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 volume problem

  Hello
  My Sansa View works great for 6 months. But now, when I try to listen to music, the sound is strange (somehow alone in the right channel) and it can be fixed that pushing the headphone connector into the player. Can you help me? Is the problem in a helmet or player? Is it possible to apply the warranty for it?

  Thank you very much

  The best way to test would be to do another series of headphones and try them in the drive. If they are thin sounding so you know its your phones, if not, the problem is in the drive which would have been covered by the warranty, if the player is less than 1 year. If this is a problem with the plug and it it less than 1 year you call assistance tech on an RMA number.

• 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

• 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.

• Xbox 360 does not leave my sansa view play as "portable".

  I plug in my sansa view on my 360, it will say "connected", but it not is as "portable device" if I could play it through the system... I would appreciate help

  You will need to put your content on the MSC view (put the player left hold/press release of scroll wheel/plug in device).

  In addition, you will need to connect the view in the Xbox in the same way as it appears in MSC mode.

  Enjoy.

  Come on Sansa!

• Remove music from 16g. Sansa View

• Sansa view 8 GB and firmware update

  HI I am a newbie so sorry if this has been posted before, I used my sansa view 8 gb mp3 and added lots of music, he loved, in any case now I decided to download the firmware update when I made it to my pc with windows 7, my mp3 player has been assigned to the pc, carefully he showed everything on battery strength m of free space etc. Once I had downloaded the firmware, computer recognizes only removable disk size 15.9 MB and sansa view shows on the display no valid g7object image loading failed when bootin mini b device mode

  I had to order a new sansa view 16 GB mp3 player but at the very least, I would like to recover my music and would be very happy if I could get the MP3 itself can someone please help an absolute fool, think that it was my fault because it was perfectly ok before thanks a lot

  Try the following manual not not (MSC mode) the firmware in this postinstallation instructions. Do not download and use the Sansa Updater (even if the receommends post at). Also be sure to download the correct .zip file (the one labeled A if you are in America) and unzip or extract to somewhere easy to find (like your desktop).

  This should guide you through it easily.

• Sansa View 8 GB and Windows Vista 64-bit

  I have a Sansa View and was thinking about making a new laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit.  I searched on the web as see if it is compatible, but have not been very successful.  Is there anyone out there with a view running a 64-bit or have any knowledge on that? Thank you!

  Yes, it is compatible. 98% of the software and hardware produced in 4-5 years are compatible with Vista 64 bit.
