why is it that when i turn on my sansa mp3 player the screen is black?

My Sansa mp3 will turn on and the screen says, "SanDisk" and it flashes, and then after about a second the whole thing goes white and it repeats the process, over and over again.
This means I can't use at all, and the only ways to turn it off are to put it on Hold so it says "Keys Locked: System Shutdown" or to take out the battery.

Can someone help me? Otherwise I think I'll have to buy an iPod. Ehhh.

Had the same problem, player turned off after low charge, then it wouldn't turn on and showed no reaction when connecting it to my PC. As described here I held the power button for one minute, then was able to turn it on normally and charge it via PC connection.

Holding down the power button definitely works! I held it down for about 30 seconds, and then just pressed it. And what ya know...it turned on!

I saw it mentioned somewhere else....hold down the power button for about a minute. It should come back to life. It just worked for me, after I paniced a little, of course!
