If your Sansa player is freezing, not charging or not turning on, the first thing to try is a reset of the unit. This will normally clear any temporary condition that may cause the player to freeze or not shut off completely, it's a bit like when your PC crashes and you need to re-start it to clear the error.

when its charging make sure it say connecting

try to reset it by pushing and holding the power button down for at leaset 30 seconds or remove the back of the machine via 4 small screws and remove the battery and replace it and see what happens

i suggest you reformat it...

Does the charging sign show up? It could be a bad cable. Also make sure you have the right software You can get it here at: http://www.sandisk.com/sansa
Go to Support\product support\sansa view\ thenlook in the right column

Try it with different usb ports as well.
Go to Device Manager and look for "?'s" or "!'s"

if you did not charged it properly you could of just messed it up so just call the company they should fix it for free

Make sure you have the software that came with it installed.

Other methods:

Use Windows Media Player to transfer files.

Open My Computer Open 'Sansa', If you can view your files; you can drag new ones in.

If that didn't help reply with more info

2 Suggestions: 1) It may be that the battery isnt charged, let the unit charge fully 2) If that doesnt work, its probably time to send the unit back to sandisk
