Sandisk m230 MTP DB mismatch...

Here is a link to get the manual:

On page 30-31 it explains how to RESET the unit to the factory defaults. If nothing else, I believe that will clear your DB Error.

When connected to your computer, go to your My Computer folder, and right click on your Mp3 player. You should see "Format Device". This wipes the entire thing. All music will be gone, but it might reset it.

I turn my SanDisk on it and it says "Not Enough Space for Music DB.Please free 4MB". Then on the screen it...

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

Mismatch Format

I have formatted it. No songs available when opened the playlist. But when I start the unit it shows "NoSpaceForDB Please Please Delete More Than4.0M.B". The property shows the "0 Memory is free".

"Not enough space for Music DB. Please Free 4MB"

we had that problem and sandisk had us use a file when we plugged it in to our computer to reformat it but I don't remember how exactly how to do it, seems like we connected it and chose a file -sorry
