Question about SanDisk Sansa m240 MP3 Player

Dies even with partial battery life

My Sansa has been turning off even though the battery is 3/4 full. I've gone through 3 batteries in the past week even though I've only listened to 5hrs of music and they weren't dead yet. I've reformatted my MP3 player because of problems downloading songs, which were fixed, but it has done nothing for this current problem. Any suggestions?

My sansa mp3 only begins to turn on when i connect it to the pc but then freezes when it says 'Sansa m250 2.0 Gb' please help

Look further than the batteries. Take the whole thing apart. That's what I do, and I've fixed a lot of things. And keep looking on the internet. A few hours of looking can result in years of listening.
