Check the battery connection(s) in the back. Remove the 4 screws, remove the battery an re-connect it. Charge the device for a few hours. Best of Luck.

I charged my Sansa last night and tried to upload new music. When I unplugged it (safely, by trashing the icon) it froze on the "Refresh Database" screen. I got it to turn off but when it turned on all...

You should have kept on using it at random. Keeping it away could always make the electronics age in time. Kindly try to put the sansa on charge for more hours, keep it on for some time extra. if there is no memory on the device and since there was not many songs, kindly format the device to clear off any virus that would have loggged in.there after reload and check/ OK.

My little sister's Spi mp3 player won't turn on

If you are saying that you had it plugged into a computer, and the first time you used safely remove hardware, and the next time you did not.

Then the device was in the read state and is stuck, you can remove the battery, then put it back in, then turn off the computer, turn on the player
(if it is not working ) plug it into the computer with it turned on, and start the computer, after the computer has loaded windows, check to see if the devise is listed under my computer, if it is try the safely remove hardware and see if it works now.

My Sansa clip ran out of power, so I plugged it in to my computer and let it charge over night. It works when it is plugged up but it turns off as soon as I unplug it. Please help me!

So it won't run on the batteries, which apparently are not being charged. Try replacing the batteries. Just a guess.

Insignia ns 2v17b froze and won t turn back on? PLEASE HELP!!!

the solution to this is to unplug the batery from the player itself. you have to open it by taking a jewellers screwdirver, pry out the rubber cover from the back. it is the only one that is on the battery cover. after doing so it will reveal a philipps head screwdriver. simply unscrew it and unplug. be very careful and pry the sides of the battery cover slowly sliding and prying downwards.. unplug and plug back in again.

the solution to the other problem here is that you guys and gals are unplugging the player prematurely meaning. You just simply unplug it from the your computer w/o safely removing your hardware. by doing this straight unplugging from the pc, yu are corrupting the hard drive on your usb and eventually end up breaking it.

My Sansa E260's screen is white and it won't turn off

After leaving it on all night and running the battery down I plugged it back in, it charged and everything is working fine. The morale of this story is, don't unplug it from the computer while it is in use.
