Turn it to recovery mode by putting it on hold, while off, and holding the record button along with power until it go's into a screen with a black background and white text. Then update it with the updater. You can get it here: http://sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1376 NOTE: Updater will NOT work on windows vista. Good luck and i hope this fixes it! Have a nice day!

Stucked at Refresh database
When the Sansa reads "refreshing database," what it is doing is going through all the songs you've loaded on to it, pulling out the "tag" information (Artist, Album, Song Title, Genre) so it can add this information to its own database which it uses to display the songs to you in its menus.

If it gets stuck during this process, usually it's because of a corrupt song file, or a song file in a format it doesn't understand.

Note that the e280 is only able to play MP3 and WMA audio formats. If you've loaded a different type of audio file onto your Sansa, you'll need to remove them.

If the songs you've recently loaded have all been MP3 and/or WMA, you may have loaded a corrupted file onto your Sansa. Try removing the songs you recently added, and see if the problem goes away.

Stuck on fresh database
Some songs or files with extension device can't read, so it takes so long/infinity to refresh. Plug the device to pc, format it.
Good luck

Go under settings and change USB Mode to other choice. Then format. After formatting change back to original setting. I had same prob. Tech support told me to do this and it worked. Have had no problem since.

My screen freezes with "refresh database"
Dude, c'mon - you have a Linux based system - did you really think it was going to work? Just playing with you. I would check the Linux forums on this one - if you're smart enough to use Linux, then you're smart enough to grab software info from Sandisk's website/cust svc line and pass it to your Linux buddies to hack.

I had the error of refresh database fail but my pc still cant see the mp3 player
Check in the Device Manager on the computer. With the device connected Right Click on My Computer and select Properties>Hardware Tab>Device Manager. If there are any errors (red or yellow) by the Sansa, right click on it and select un-install. Disconnect the device and after it restarts, re-connect. The drivers will re-install. If that is not the issue, try using a different USB port, preferably in the back. Or, change the device mode Settings>Mode or USB Mode and try connecting to PC. You can add to the question if you need more assistance. Best of Luck.
