E250 Problems

(1/1)

ramdunning:
All was working well after my initial download earlier today.  I reconnected to install the additional fonts and themes, and now I have an image of what appears to be a silver cylinder with a yellow projectile in the center of the screen, distorted images of the battery life indicator and clock at the top of the screen, and a jumble of indistinct images at the bottom.  The unit will not power off.  I have turned the hold switch on and held the REC button.  All too no avail.  Any suggestions?

MarcGuay:
Hmm.. I'm trying to visualize your description but not coming up with much... It sounds to me like a broken theme...

For what it's worth, the way to power off the unit when it's frozen is to hold the power/menu button for upwards of 30 seconds, the switching on hold and holding REC trick is for recovery mode.  Check out the SansaFAQ in the wiki. 

ramdunning:
Thank you.  I had previously held it down for about 20 sec. since I had read in earlier forum discussions it needed to be held down for 15 sec.  Didn't work.  Tried it again for close to a minute.  Now all is well.  It seems I misunderstood the discussion re: not connecting the usb when in Rockbox mode.  That is what appears to have been the initial cause.  Thank you for your assistance!

MarcGuay:
Aha, I can see the corrupted yellow screen now.  :)  Glad to hear it's working.
