Sansa e260 mp3 player won't charge

Not all computer USB ports put out enough current to charge batteries. If you have another USB port on your computer, try that. Try another computer. If that doesn't work, try an AC-to-USB charger, as you might find for cell phones.

SOME LOW POWER USB PORTS MAY NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER TO CHARGE THE PLAYER
The battery can also be charged using an AC adapter

There is a trick to charging the battery in these small mp3 players. It wont charge if it is turned on, and it won't charges if it's turned off. Here what to do...
1. plug the payer into your USB port. or wall charger
2. switch thje palyer on using the mechanical switch (on the side)
3. turn it off by either holding down the play button, or selecting "System" from the menu
4. The screen will go black and the battery will begin charging.

take out the battery then wait ten min. put it back in and see if that works.

I have the sansa e260 with the same problem as well. Can someone help....Please!!!

how to convert my photos to sansa e 260

If your battery has been removed from the case, check the connectors to be sure they aren't bent enough to make them hit the plastic battery housing. My 260 wouldn't play unless it was connected to a wall charger and that was what the problem turned out to be. I carefully bent the terminals up just a little and my E260 went right back to work! The battery terminals may also be corroded or dirty. At any rate it is a good place to start and costs nothing to check.

that happens to me too. i think the problem is that your computer can't like, sense that it's plugged in, so your battery's dying out, and the computer wont charge it

some may be due to low battery power or due to software problem...while charging stop once the charge gets full,...dont overcharge the battery,,,,,,the battery life gets reduced
