Well my Sansa e280 wont come on. But when i plug it up to the....

Hello,

For the e200 series player you can first try to RESET the player as next (solution 1):
1. Press and hold the Power/Menu button for approximately 20 seconds.
2. Release the Power/Menu button. ( now the player should be off )
3. Press the Power/Menu button again to turn on the player, to see if the device is working normally again.

If the player still freezes after that, you can reload and update the lastest firmware (solution 2).

When needing more help, just add a comment in this same help request.

hold the play button and the power button at the same time and hold it for about 8 or 9 seconds. thats what works for my sansa

Try plugging in the sansa before you turn on your computer. Push the on button of the computer, then immedietly push the on button of the sansa.

Hold down the menu bottom for about 20-30 secs. Should power back on.

What i do is drop it not hard but a light drop and it should turn on than

try resetting the player by holding the power button. your player may be "bricked" in which case you may have to get a return from sandisk.

I would suggest holding the 'power' button down for a good 15-20 seconds.

I had the same freeze problem and after doing everything I could think of I read the downloaded user manual and found the answer was to hold down the menu button for 15 seconds. It acts as a power off button and cancels out the last operation thereby unfreezing the offending action.

simply put it into recovery mode. to do this plug it into your computer and push the hold button till the ornage is showing. next push and hold the record button as well as pushing and holding the power button. if you do this correctly it should free up the space. heres the forum link if your still confused. http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board?board.id=e200

if it says connected and when you plug it and out and it is still not working you just plug then unplug (might take some time)
