Sansa 1g clip wont turn on.

I was listening to my sansa 1g mp3 player one day when the display screen just froze. It finally turned off after a day or so but now i can't even turn it on.. it was fully charged right before it froze, so I know that thats not the problem. Anyone know whats wrong or have a solution?

Did you try holding the power button on for ten seconds (the reset) after trying to charge it again? does it even power up when you plug it into the usb. if it powers on when connected to the usb and then shuts off immediately when you take it off the usb (rather than "refreshing database") then your battery is either 1)disconnected inside 2)dead or there may be issues with power management. Same thing happened to me (disconnected) but I soldered the loose connection and it only worked for two days, even checking the connections again. Now I don't know what's going on. It's more likely the battery has reached the end of its life.

It froze

Sansa Clip Player has some problem. I tried 4 sansa clip players (I purchased at Best Buy for Thanksgiving), and none of them work. Dont even try to exchange them, just return them back.
