Question about SanDisk Sansa e250 MP3 Player

Turns off and on

I have a similar problem that someone else reported. I purchased my mp3 player about a year ago and just yesterday, when I began syncing files from Windows Media Player, for some reason, the player turns off. It happens only when I try to sync music. Connected to my PC, it's fine and it charges. Please help! nicole

As a last resort....don't sync it. Set the player to MTP mode and drag-and-drop files from your PC folder(s). Don't know about WMA files tho--might want to just stick with mp3..?

Two weeks ago, I purchased a Siren 4gb mp3 player that worked fine until yesterday when it started turning off on it's own. This morning when I turned it on, it started normally, but then started running...

Is the memory card or the memory full? That may have caused a memory error.

When I plug in my Zune to my PC, my PC doesn't recognize it. I can't manage my music, etc. However, it does charge it when plugged in. Please help.

I am having similar symptoms on mine. Just began happening yesterday. When it's plugged into the USB port on my PC, Zune software thinks it's not connected. The Zune itself just keeps booting up repeatedly, but never stays on. When I put in on a charger, it works fine as long as it's on the charger. The moment I remove it from the charger, it shuts down. I've tried resetting it, to no avail.

My best bet is the cable gone wrong. If you can find a similar cable to purchase from a computer shop or a friend you can try it.

Can't put songs on it

Hi Amarine

I too have the same problem ( see my comment on the forum). I brought my YP mp3 a year ago and if i had known that Samsung's aftercare service would be so appauling i would NOT have purchased their products

The player was working ok / on and off for a few months , but then when i tried to delete or add sungs a message was say " You have to disconnect Windows Media Player before processing". Now Windows Media player doesnt automatically load so how is this? i thought .. So i tried not connecting to the internet - same message came up

When i contacted Samsungs who was EVER SO UNHELPFUL , they turned and said it is a software issue with my pc even though the PC is brand new

Their advisors was just as rude and clueless as the managers of Samsung

I regret the day i ever brought one of their products and urge others not to purchase any others

If someone who is technically minded can advise me on what i can do , i would appreciate it

This is the least of your concerns - change the battery again. The average life span of an mp3 player is less than 1 year. In 2009, consumer reports is finally going to come out with its reliability ratings, and mp3 players are going to fare worse than laptops which have a 43% failure rate in their first 3 years.
