I just picked up a Fuzev1 (Not +Plus) on ebay and it appears the batt. is dead.
It does power ON as long as the cable is connected to a power source.
Immediately upon disconnect, it powers OFF.
I am only familiar with the Sansa c200 and e200 series, and have recently replaced the battery in the e250.
I was able to update the Sansa newest 01.02.31 FW while it was plugged into the PC, but cannot load RB because once I get to Settings to switch the USB mode, (the only way I can get into the Settings menu is by plugging it into an AC USB connector, Not PC) then plugging it into the PC, it's already OFF.
It plays awesome on my stereo system and reads all of my music on the $5 32GB card, while plugged into a power source of course.
I'm assuming the main battery holds the RTC settings...?
Because the time ALWAYS reverts back to 12:00, even though I've updated it to current.
Or is there some other internal CMOS batt I'm unaware of.. ?
Any help is tremendously appreciated!
