My Sansa e250 (Lil' Monsta) turns on and off and plays music, but when I turn it on, a blank white screen is all I can see. No menu, no pictures, no video. I tried to call customer support, but they weren't exactly helpful.
Unfortunately, the advice isn't working, but, I have two theories: 1)The player was working fine until I went through the airport. (I know, it sounds crazy.) It worked fine in the car on the way to the airport, but when I turned it on while we were in the air, a white screen showed up. And, 2) Could the battery just need to be replaced? How often does it need to be replaced? The battery is only 5 months old! Any thoughts are appreciated!Unfortunately, the advice isn't working, but, I have two theories: 1)The player was working fine until I went through the airport. (I know, it sounds crazy.)

My Sansa has a similar problem. Sometimes when the Sansa turns on (after the Sandisk logo) the screen will either turn black, blue, or black and white stripes. The player still works, but it is hard to navigate without the screen, obviously.
What I end up doing is letting the backlight turn off and then pressing any button. Sometimes when the screen comes back, the display is allright again. But sometimes it takes more than a few tries. Turning it off and on again seems to work a little better, but it is more time consuming.

if you disconnect your mp3 player, does the screen still appear white and can you turn it on or off?
i had the same problem, basically it freezes because it is busy downloading music or placing music where it is suppost to be. but if you cannot turn it off after you have unplugged it, you should take off the back cover and take out the battery. place the battery back in, and replace the cover and it should be able to turn back on without a white screen.

2. Drain the battery by leaving it on for an extended period until the screen in blank and no sound comes out of your ear buds. Then connect to AC adapter or computer and charge.
