SanDisk Sansa e140 MP3 Player - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

To dry out the MP3 player put it in a large plastic bag with silica gel drying crystals then put it in a warm sunny place for several days or in front of a warm fan heater for several hours, and hope it will work properly again, but if does not work then it is faulty and you need a new MP3 player.

open it and dry it whit a hairdryer some times it helps

Take out the batteries for 3o seconds then put them baack in and turn it on again.

The Sansa does not have any speakers. You need to have something produce sound. If you don't want to use headphones/ear plugs, you can plug some speakers into the headphone jack.

Your SD card is locked meaning is write protected. To unlock it you need to slide the small plastic toggle out of the 'lock' position. See image below

try updating the firmware may be that should help

it supports only upto 2gb memory

go buy a new one

download music from emusic.com

take it back to the place you bought it from

Press and hold the power button (menu) in your e140 for about 30+ seconds. Now try powering on your Sansa.
If it doesn't work, press and hold select (center button) alongside pressing and holding power button. Probably this should work for you.

Paul,

You can't delete songs from the player itself. You have to plug the player into a computer. Then go to the player, find the songs you don't want, and delete them.

Yeah, seems odd to me too. But Sansa have confirmed that there isn't any way to do this from the player. Cheers!

to solve the problem do the following things:

- download the firmware (http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1295)
- run firmware - SW
- FirmwareDownloader shows "Detecting"
- put oft the battery of the e140
- hold down the Power Button
- Connect the e140 to the PC
- FirmwareDownloader shows "Recovery mode ready"
- press start-Button

--> e140 works

When you power on your MP3 player it will go to the FM radio. 1. Press menu.
2. Go down once and you'll be on "Mode". Press the right button to access the mode menu.
3. You either press the enter button after accessing the menu or go down to select Playback mode (I forget which one it is).

Good Luck!

There might be a problem with your USB cable, such as a broken wire, and not the MP3 player itself.
