My e260 is restarting

1: RESET: Go into the settings and scroll down to reset all, push center button, scroll to yes, push center this will restore factory settings.....
2: Reset All
NOTE: THIS IS AN ADVANCED OPERATION AND RESTORES ALL SETTINGS
TO THE FACTORY DEFAULTS. NORMAL USERS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED
TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION!
If your device freezes up press the Menu button and hold for 15 seconds.
This is like a power down of the device. Once you perform the reset, the adjustments you made during last operation
will be gone.
This is what it states in the manual for the 260 sansa Page 29
3: Recovery Mode also resets system settings when unplugged... lock your sansa hold in the rec key on the left at the same time push the menu/power button this will take you to recovery mode then connect to the computer Start the update software

try to format

press the recording key and the middle key of the mp3 for 6 seconds

On the body of the player try to find a hole that says reset button. With needle push inside and restart the player. That could help.

I hate to say it, but you have to replace it.

unintall the device from the computer and try to reinstall it again..if that doesnt help you you will have to get a new new device from sandisk...

Re - Format Your sansa drive

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

people have been having a lot of trouble with rhapsody i think you could have a bug in your system.

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
