Sansa mp3 won't work! ...rockbox

Rockbox has a dual-boot feature. To boot into the original firmware, press and hold the
Left button while turning on the player.
The player will always boot into the original firmware if it is powered by a USB
connection, and additionally will do so if USB is inserted while rockbox is running without
holding Select. This feature may be removed in the future when Rockbox is able to
handle USB transfers natively.

Maybe installing Rockbox makes your device corruption. If plug the device to pc, the pc still recognize it, update new firmware from sandisk official site, http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/
Good luck

turn the player off and then back on while holding the Rec button.

have fun rock with the box

Unfortunately, Sandisk didn't include any options in their firmware to record in any other format.

If you happen to have a version 1 c250 then you can install Rockbox on it and have 4 recording format options, as well as being able to choose what bitrate to record in for the mp3 format.

To find out if your player is a v1 go to Settings -> System Info
If the version starts with 01 then it's a v1 player and you can install Rockbox on it. If it starts with 03 then it's a v2 player and you're stuck with the wav format, as Rockbox is not yet available for v2 c250 players.

I have the same problem.

Only work around I found was installing Rockbox, then in the settings turning off the wheel light.

Seemed guessing cable issue?? once wheel light when out, the screen would come back.

sorry to say have same problem everything not working ok anymore so brought back to store got new one and dont toch or install rockbox................................

1 - since you really did nt delete all of rockbox (you shoud reinstall the whole thing) this will take of the system looking for it.
2 - you will have a dual boot up and a choice of which one u wish
