I had the same problem this morning, albeit with my 8G Clip. Nothing worked -- the thing seemed dead as roadkill -- until I found a link about "forcing MSC mode." Basically, it told me to hold down the center button while plugging my Clip into my computer using my USB cable. Suddenly, boom! It's awake and alive and happy again. I'm unsure how that works, but that did it for me.
Yo !
My Sandisc 2G sansa clip was playing away happily then suddenly died.
Nothing I did was able to resurrect it and I thought it was burnt toast.
After reading the advise given about holding down the middle menu button before plugging in the usb cable, I tried doing so and - bata boom, bata bing the spirit returned. Like the previous writer said, I don't know how this worked but am very thankful it did.
Thanks for posting this. My sandisk clip thanks you too!
