Sandisk e260 Help? Might be bricked. [FIXED]

Hey everyone no need to reply to this post, some weird string of circumstances just rendered my player unable to turn on. I read in a previous post about a bricked player that holding menu and select would reset the player, and sure enough, it worked. Thanks for that tip!

Hi everyone,

I've been using a rockbox'd Sansa e260 for about one and a half weeks now, and it was working flawlessly up to this morning. This morning, when I woke up, I found that I could not turn on the player with a press of the power switch, holding the switch or pressing any other buttons did not incite any response, and plugging into the computer via the provided sansa usb cable did not turn the player on as it usually does. The only thing I remember doing during my last use, the previous night, was to set the player's auto-sleep function for 20 minutes, and then going to sleep with music playing. I opened up the back case, removed the battery and put it back in, but still there was no response. The only possible cause I could recollect, besides the auto-sleep, was that I may (I'm not sure if i did or not) have plugged the player into a third party AC adapter charger overnight.

Any tips or possible help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm debating whether or not to buy a new battery to test out if its a dead battery issue, or sending the entire unit back to Sandisk and see if I can get some warranty maintenance.

P.S. If anyone knows whether shipping a Rockbox'd player voids the warranty, or if there is a function to just test if the player itself turns on (i.e. plugging in just the player with the batter removed will turn it on), I would appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance,
Hungy
