Sandisk Sansa e200 v2
Bagder:
First, it's quite possible that there is no user-accessible recovery mode.
Then, if there is one it could be triggered by any imaginary means and there's no saying it needs to be anywhere similar to that of the v1.
Llorean:
In fact, it could require the insertion of a hardware dongle attached to the accessory port, that the OF can detect, or some other means that is very, very, very unlikely to be stumbled upon.
Kakuwinki:
Let's say we don't find how to turn the sansa in recovery mode, what could be tried to boot it with something else than the original firmware? Is their somewhere I could read about that? That way I wouldn't need to ask questions that sound stupid and I might help more ;)
Edit: I tried stuff on my sansa an figured that if you press both center and power when it is open, then let go the center, the sansa closes but skips the animation. when i tried to turn it on, it blocked on the starting video. I then repressed power after like 30 seconds and it opened and read "refreshing database". I don't know what it gives us but I find it quite interesting since maybe at the point when nothing was happening, we could trigger recovery mode. I will get on trying combinations right now, but it is long since each time I need to go through each step
edit2: actually, i found that all is needed to do what i just said was to close using the center button and the power button. it takes about 10 seconds. you need to press the center button slightly before the power button. after pressing both, it shuts down and when you start it it opens on the starting video, lasts about 30 seconds then starts and says refreshing database. what is to be tried? BTW, i checked and the version of the firmware stays the same, it is not a way to reset to the original version of the firmware
rasher:
Could someone with a v2 (of any kind) please plug it in and run http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~christi/misc/usbids.exe if on Windows, and lsusb if on Linux and paste the output here?
And if you're feeling really generous fill in the table on http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceDetection
In any or all of msc, mtp and rescue/manufacturer modes if available.
Thank you :)

Pardon my hasty paint job, but here is my e280 v2:
Really hope this can help you get somewhere!
