Hold down the power button for fifteen seconds. Sometimes all the unit needs is a good soft reset.

If, for whatever reason, the unit is still unresponsive, you will need to force-format and downgrade the player. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

My Sansa Clip died after installing Rockbox!

Maybe installing Rockbox makes your device corruption. If plug the device to pc, the pc still recognize it, update new firmware from sandisk official site, http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/

The Sansa only plays videos from its internal memory. You can put music on a microSD card, but not photos nor videos.

I bought a 4GB PNY Micro SD HC card for my e250, which will not show up on my computer. Is this the right card for the e250?

Sandisk Sansa e200 models will NOT detect cards over 2GB capacity. There is a firmware known as rockbox that will allow up to 32GB of space but its only recomended if you are familiar with transfering and installing files to your player. Rockbox firmware can be found at http://www.rockbox.org/ by just selecting your model.

Sandisk Sansa C250 won't recognize 8Gig micro chip

Your model doesn't natively support SD cards over 4GB, however I hear you can install something called "Rockbox," it's a free third party firmware that allows you to dual boot between "Rockbox" and the Sansa firmware. "Rockbox" adds the support you need for SD cards with a capacity of 4GB or more. I've never used this firmware, but it does sound promising.
Download it here
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
