I have a Sansa SanDisk Clip+ 2GB MP3 player. I had fully charged it, and had been listening to it for about 10 minutes. I adjusted the volume, and the player turned off, and I am unable to turn it back on. Plugging it into my laptop via USB also will not power up the player. The player is less than 1 year old. How do I restore its function?
I was able to fix the problem by holding down the power button for 30 seconds, then plugging into my laptop's USB connection. Apparently, when the player "froze", the power remained on and ran the battery completely down. I was unable to get a "power up" window until I plugged into the ocmputer and began charging the player.I was able to fix the problem by holding down the power button for 30 seconds, then plugging into my laptop's USB connection.

Have you tried plugging it into other USB ports? The Sansa Clip requires a high-power USB port in order to charge. Most computers and laptops have a mix of high-power and low-power USB ports. If that doesn't work, try an AC adapter. You can buy one at your local electronics store, such as BestBuy. Tell the salesman you want a "USB AC adapter" to charge a SanDisk Clip MP3 player. He/She may ask you what the output amperage should be. Say "200 milliamps or higher". One amp is OK (an amp is 1000 milliamps).Have you tried plugging it into other USB ports?

Go to sandisk.com. Click on downloads. Select sansa clip from the product list, then your operating system. You can get the updated driver and user manual.
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.
If you leave your Sansa plugged into your charging source (wall charger, computer, car etc.), your player might still remain fully charged and just on. If you can, you may want to just leave it plugged into your charging source until you want to use it, so it stays fully charged.When its done, it will say fully charge...it should take a couple hours to charge the device....
Also, does your player have an auto power off or idle sleep setting? You can use this setting to set the amount of time you want your Sansa to automatically turn off after you don't use or listen to music on it.
