I just put some new songs on my e250r sansa mp3 player and it was working good for a while but then when i played one of the new songs it froze and now when it starts up it refreshes and then goes to a black screen, ive tried to put it in recovery mode but it does the same thing, i would just go in and erase everything but when it is that black screen it wont connect to my pc, is there a program i can download to erase or everything or what? FIXYA HELP ME!!!!
I had dropped it about 6 inchs and didn't think that that would cause any problems. My player would not power up. The blue light was the only thing that came on. I tried the soft and hard resets and nothing worked. Windows detected it as a tango media device and had no drivers for it. I finally took it apart and found that a board on the back of the player had come off. I plugged it back in, put it back together and it works again! I wouldn't suggest doing this if the player is still under warranty.
File removed ?? is it somewhere else
I tried the recovery mode, its still turning black screen can you please help me. i pasted the http://rapidshare.com/files/67740173/e200fw01.00.12.exe____ format in to the 16mp screen and still wont work i tried the ansa.fmt and still turning black screen can you pleaseee help me

Thank you, i had the same problem, and this worked for me!
Perform recovery mode on the player and create a file named sansa.fmt and put that file in the 16 MB format that should reformat the whole player after you have put that file in the drive and unplugged the player from the computer. After that has been done try to update the firmware of the player.
