Battery

I'm having the same problem! I've had my Sansa e130 for exactly one year today. I loaded new music on it last night and when I tried to turn it on, it said "searching internal memory for new music." I left it on and this morning it wouldn't come back on with new batteries or even when hooked to a computer! I sent an e-mail to the company for help since there is no reset button. I haven't heard anything yet. I suggest you contact SanDisk too. They may have a problem. And I can't believe someone actually suggested as a solution to put a new battery in it or hook it up! No duh! We're looking for real help here, not the obvious things to try.

hi

try with a new battery
or hook it to an AC adapter and try

good luck

I had the same problem, stuck in a "searching for new music" cycle and tried resetting, etc. but did not work until I deleted two files on my sansa... Music.lib and Music.sec Once I deleted these, it created two new files and worked again. I believe that by deleting a file manually, it was trying to find it and couldn't. The "Music.lib and Music.sec" files regenerate and straighten out the problem.
