I have a e250 also and it white screened. I could'nt shut it off. I just left it on overnight and 1/2 of the next day until the battery went dead. Then pluged it in. It Worked!!!!
when i turn my mp3 "on" then it will refreshered and the screen will turn black it will not display anything what should i do, and it is not charging too.
Once you have it in recovery mode, create a file called "sansa.fmt" and put in on "16mb" (Which is what your sansa shows up as in My Computer when it is in recovery mode). Once you have put the file on the "16mb" disconnect the cable and allow the device to restart unlocking it before it boots back up.
try resetting (holding power button for twenty seconds)
or letting the battery run out and charging it
still not working?
did you get a warranty, or did you buy it recently, you may be able to take it back to the storee you got it from orr send it back to the manufacturer?
Hi.
Seems like your player may be encountering some corruption. Try this and see if it would help:
Switch your Sansa E250 to its Recovery Mode:
1. Make sure the player is powered off
2. Enable the "Hold" switch (located on the top of the player). You would know it's enabled when you see the "orange-colored" surface
3. Press the "Record" button. Make sure you keep it pressed while pressing on the "Menu" button.
4. keep your fingers pressed on these 2 buttons until the E250 LCD screen displays "Welcome to Recovery Mode"
5. Connect your E250 to your computer. (Just a reminder: The minimum Operating System requirements for a Sansa E200 player is Windows XP and above)
6. Double-click on "My Computer" and you would see your Sansa E250 appear as a "16 MB" drive. Note: If you do not see that "16 MB" drive/partition, please repeat steps 1-6.
Next, Apply the firmware for the E250 (your player should be connected to your PC at this time):
Step 1:
Use this link to download the firmware for your Sansa E250 (for better results, please save this file on your "Desktop":
http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/Downl...
Step 2:
Double left-click on the downloaded file, and follow the on-screen prompts. The file will automatically re-flash your player and format it as well, thereby clearing all possible file/system corruptions that may have occurred.
Step 3:
When the process is complete, unplug your E250 from your computer, and please make sure you disable the "Hold" switch
Step 4:
Power up your E250 and 90-99% of the time, it would boot up successfully.
Let me know if this helped :)
