My screen went blank. When I power up, the SANSA

i had the exact same problem and that means that its just getting old and u probably need a new one

Hi, I experienced the same problem this morning, my sansa player (e280, 8Gb) froze in the middle of a song, the screen went blank but the wheel still had its blue light on and i didn't know how to fix it bur then i figured how. If that's the case with your player too, then the solution will be to press and hold the power button till the blue light goes off (abt 8-10sec) and then just restart the player. It should work.

I would recommend that you tried to reset the device if you have not done so..To reset the device preses the power button for about 15-20 seconds..let me know what happens....
Hope this help
Thank You

ive had that problem b4 i dont no if uve already fixed it or not, but all you do is hold the power button fer 15 seconds and itll shut off

Once you have it in recovery mode, create a file called "sansa.fmt" and put in on "16mb" (Which is what your sansa shows up as in My Computer when it is in recovery mode). Once you have put the file on the "16mb" disconnect the cable and allow the device to restart unlocking it before it boots back up.

its called pushing the power button

Got it working, I held the Power button down for aprox 30 seconds until the dial light went out then it restarted as normal..

HTH

Hold the power button for up to 30 seconds to "reset" the device.







Best of Luck.
