I have a sansa e280 8 gig for about a year and i recently plug it into my comp so it can charge. i plugged it in and saw that it was charging and a minute later i checked on it and it was off....i tried to turn it on but it didnt seem to work...i plugged the USB in it and it didnt work either and the comp didnt detect either. and the bottom middle part of it is unsually warm.....please anyone help...
I have had the Sansa e280 for a few months. I had downloaded some songs to it. I briefly saw a message that said something about running out of disk space and then the player 'went dead'. All I see is the light around the round control (circle blue light). I had to hold the on/off button for a long time to turn it off. I turned it back on but with no change. All I see is the blue light around the round control....
Is there a way of resetting, or deleting the drive??? I have had the Sansa e280 for a few months. I had downloaded some songs to it.

My sansa was working but the battery was low so I plugged it into my computer to charge. I noticed it was off (after a few hours) so I unplugged from the USB cable to check the battary charge and it would not come on. I even held down the power button for 15-20 seconds but it still would not come on. My sansa was working but the battery was low so I plugged it into my computer to charge.

I have the same problem too. However I found it works on my other computers with same OS (WindowsXP). Then I found out that the working ones having new windows media player installed. So I just upgrade my media player from 9 to 11. Since then it works on all of my machines (I have 5 PCs at home).

My Sansa e280 just stopped responding. The screen was a light blue color and appeared "on". I wouldn't respond using the power button or any other button. My computer would not recognize it when I plugged it into the usb port. I tried holding the power button for about 15 seconds and it finally responded. It seems to work fine now.My Sansa e280 just stopped responding. The screen was a light blue color and appeared "on". I wouldn't respond using the power button or any other button.

1 put on hold and hold record button while u turn on (your sansa is now in recovery mode)
2 connect your sansa to your comp via usb cable a box should show up saying the firmware version
3 close the window and disconnect your sansa (it will restart)
up until very recently i had the same problem, found this review through alot of google searches and it seems to solve the problem. must stress i cant take ANY credit for solving the problem but if anyone meets this guy, tell him i owe him a beer.
if the micro sd is HC the sansa will not read it because it does not have the right firmware and connection to read an 8 GIG if you want that get a sansa view
1. turn sansa clip on 2. slide to "hold" 3. press and hold center button do NOT let go... 4. plug in the connector cable 5. wait until computer recognises Sansa device 6. let go of center button 7. drag n drop files and you are all set
if that doesnt work you will need to go to the sandisk website to update the firmware on your device..
let me know if you anymore questions..
Please rate accordingly
Thank you

the e280 8gig it doesn't come with a cd instalation, it only works for transfer music in media plalyer 10 or 11 sync. another way to tranfer his drop and drag to do this open my computer then open the device u will see file just as music,photo, videos drag and drop the musica files into the file. if poppoed up apear it happen to me too the only thing i did was switching usb ports to a diffrent port. www.scandisk.com for and updates select downloads. it will said drivers downloads select sansa firmware updates but before it has to be unplug. when download finish u need to restart then plug e280 open sansa update in desktop it will show u e280 if new updates are availble. also check the system requierments for compabilities. hope this help if not u can contact sansa coparation there listing in support. hope this help,
