Try leaving it in a DRY bowl of rice over night. I'ved used that solution on a phone as well as an ipod. Both still worked after the water damage. Make sure the Sansa is completely covered in the rice though. It needs to be under for about 8 hours total. This will help remove any remaining moisture in the unit. After it is dry, if it still does not work; you have a hardware issue and will either need to get it serviced or replaced. I do hope this article is helpful to you though.

I think I have a solution. If you're using Windows Media Player like you're supposed to, click the sync button in the top menu bar. if it says click here to sync device slick there and it'll pop up a menu telling you to name your Sansa and click ok and you should be good to go.

MY sansa e260 MP3 player

what operating system do you have? lets assume you have windows xp...first you will have to unintall your device from device manager...click on start, run...type devmgmt.msc...then look under portable devices, disk drives or universal serial bus controller...your device should be listed on either one of them..if you dont see it..click on the plus sign so you can expand it...then once you find your device uninstall it and reconnect it into a different port..make sure it is a 2.0...then windows should recognize it properly..if you are still having the same problem let me know..

I NEED HELP!

Hi-USB refers to the USB 2.0 standards. It appears your computer only has USB 1.* hardare on it's motherboard. If you have a free PC slot, you can buy a 2.0 USB upgrade card. It will speed up the transfer times between USB devices and your computer. As for your computer not "seeing" your sansa, try another USB cable. If that does not help, check under control panel/system/device manager to see if the device is properly installed. The sansa operates as a "removable drive" so you should see your player as another disk drive in windows explorer. If you have a drivers/installation CD-rom for your player reinstall them, or check the sansa website for possible newer updates. Good Luck!
