[Sansa Clip v2] - Blank Display [RESOLVED]

[Mihail Zenkov]

You still have problem with display?

If power button work, it should power off after 3 sec. If not, it still can force hardware power off after > 10 sec.

Ok, thanks. Must have been doing a force hardware power off as still on (blue lights) after 4 secs but no display with this build.

I have the same problem wist the broken screen. Tried all files without success.

Can someone walk me through the music folder to play at least the songs without the screen? Which buttons do I have to press?

Hi C0da

Does sliding down (hold) and up again work on your Sansa Clip v2?

Yes every button works only the display is black. I'm back at 3.13 again.

Can someone post which buttons I need to press in order to get in the music folder?

Are you see rockbox logo at startup?

No I don't see anything but I know the player is still working because I accidently turned on the radio. I just don't know which combination I have to press to access the music folder.

In answer to your question and given that you haven't changed any of the default settings (hopefully). The structure should look like this.

Files
---##MUSIC#
---##PORT#
---ARCHIVE
---AUDIBLE
---AUDIOBOOKS
---MUSIC

I would imagine pressing the home button will take you back to the "Files" section. As the hold and return to normal position (slider switch) doesn't work for you, maybe using the voice file will help with speaking the folders to you.

Does the original Sansa firmware work for you?

Edit: If you use the "Home" button you will need to select (middle button) to enter the Files section.

Yes I have black screen with every version.

Is your LCD display dead then? Using the standard settings you should be in the main menu when turning the player on. Pressing the home button should bring you to the WPS. Now pressing the select button brings you to the file browser then. You could edit the config.cfg file on your player to start playing music after boot to at least listen to music.

Does the screen work in the Sandisk firmware?

This helped me out.

Does the screen work in the Sandisk firmware?

No because I'm unable to install it. The Sansa Updater doesn't find the Clip and when I put the m30pa.bin in the root directory nothing happens. Did I miss something?

[saratoga]

No because I'm unable to install it.

The sandisk firmware is always installed.  Hold left when powering on to boot it.

Thanks blank screen as well with original firmware.
