That happened to me and I just took the battery out and then put it back in. the screws on the back should come out if you find something small enough to unscrew it with. I used a hair clip

If holding the power button doesn't work (and sometimes it doesn't) then if you have your power cord with you just plug it in, charging/writing forces a reboot.

The Sandisk website says to hold the power button down for 20 seconds and the player will reboot. Mine went off at about 15 seconds and then when I turned it back on it started up fine.

I had the same problem happen for me on my e260. Played arround with the On the Go lists, and as soon as I started to play the list the player froze. The only solution is to unscrew the back plate and remove the battery for a moment the putting it back in. That or wait for the batery to run out, but at full charge that could take 10-20 hours, depending on wether your backlight stays on or dims out... Not sure if Firmware fixes this problem as it doesn't seem too common, I hadn't run any updates, but now I most defineatly will... :/ (This is the second "suprise" this player has given me, the first was no FM radio in the EU! -_- )
