Jammed in Rockbox; Left button dead

(1/1)

roscoetuff:
These buttons seem a bit cheesy. Can't get Rockbox recognized by my Ubuntu.
So have to reboot to original software? Well.... Left button held down at turn on is a laugh.
And I'm stuck looking at micro fonts until I CAN reconnect and reload human size fonts.

This p-stinks! Get it out of here! Wow... iPod looks better and better...

Need help: Whaddya do at this point? Is there resurrection... on are these Sansa's just cheesy and
when the left button is held down and all you get is fade to white... is this a hardware issue?

Thanks!

ghoti:
that's not really a sufficient description of your problem but i guess it could be the one discussed (and preliminary solved):

good luck

roscoetuff:
Yep it's not sufficient. But guess what? It's the same problem and there's no way to even attempt to resolve it given that it won't boot to the old op system and also can't be seen by the computer. So it's back to the store for this guy. Take what I can get.

Question is.... is it just me, or do the 4 buttons round the wheel seem a bit cheesy? sticky? not up to snuff? Remind me of old 1970's Texas Instrument buttons vs. the HP's excellent never fail "touch". Not sure I'll get a Sansa to replace this... unless it's required.

krazykit:
Have you even tried the recovery procedure that's on the wiki?

dude just put your device under recovery more and install the original Mi4 file. You should get your sansa to boot original firmware(you don't neeed to hold any button around the wheel in recivery mode!). delete the rockbox folder and resend the unit to Sandisk for RMA. You should receive a new replacement.
