Charging Problem on Sansa c250

<< < (3/5) > >>

saratoga:
Try a different computer.

BruceHP:
Might it be in MTP mode instead of the other mode?  Bad cable?  You might try reformating it.

semih:
tried it ona different computer, same thing happened. In the original firmware i checked if it was in MSC or MTP mode and it was in MSC mode(the mode that lets you put songs into your player through explorer). I tried it in the other only option "Auto-detect" mode and it didn't work either, it charges but doesn't connect. i might have to try formatting it but on which firmware(rockbox or the original one) should i format it? Does it matter?(i couldn't find a format option in rockbox menu, is it hidden or something?)

GodEater:
There isn't a format option in Rockbox, which is why you couldn't find it.

Personally, I'm always loathe to format these devices, it's very much a weapon of last resort.

Could you check something else out for me first? With the device connected in MSC mode, do the following :

1) Go to the start menu in windows, and choose "Run"
2) Type in "diskmgmt.msc", and then click "Ok"

In the window which should then pop up, tell us what you see in the bottom half. It should list the disks that windows sees attached to your computer (for example, you might see "Disk 0" and "CD-ROM 0").

semih:
in both the original firmware and rockbox firmware i tried what you described and the result was the same. There is only Disk 0 which is my partitioned hard drive and CD-ROM 0 which is my DVD Drive. I guess that means my mp3 player can not be seen from the computer(i tried on my desktop computer and my brothers laptop, the result was the same). now i ask the veterans of the forum, should i format or should i do nothing?
