My computer (running Vista) used to recognize my Sansa e280, but suddenly, the device appears to be dead and the driver has disappeared from my programs. I can't find any drivers on the SanDisk website.

i would suggest reinstalling the device or removing the device and letting the computer restart to see if that works if that dont work then use the CD that came with the device finally if that dont work contact Customer Support and see if that helps =)
Unfortunately, so simple - although this simple solution does not appear in any manual. the solution: put your Sansa in the rear USB - and the PC immediately recognizes the MP3 or MP4. The USB soccket in the front of the PC does not have enogh power, and when using the rear USB port - it works!
Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.
Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to find out: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/DriverDownloads.aspx

I have a e250 and it works great with my laptop which is running window vista. One thing i do remember missing with is the usb setting on the mp3 player. Maybe you can try switching between the usb opinions to see if that will fix your problem. the usb setting screen is under "setting", "usb mode".
what operating system do you have? lets assume you have windows xp...first you will have to unintall your device from device manager...click on start, run...type devmgmt.msc...then look under portable devices, disk drives or universal serial bus controller...your device should be listed on either one of them..if you dont see it..click on the plus sign so you can expand it...then once you find your device uninstall it and reconnect it into a different port..make sure it is a 2.0...then windows should recognize it properly..if you are still having the same problem let me know..
