Battery Recharge

"Removable drive" sounds like it got set back to MTC mode (USB mode in sansa settings menu). Needs to be in MTP mode to really be of any use.

I have the e280 and it recharges fine when it's hooked up to my PC. It might be the battery, the connection, or the player.

Also, it has to be a "high power" USB port on your PC (whatever that is). ie: If you're on a really old PC, there might not be enough juice getting through to the player. But if the rechargers don't work either.....
