Sansa Fuze version

(1/3) > >>

Chrisse:
Hi. I am probably going to buy a Sansa Fuze in the near future for Rockbox use, because my Sansa e200 have started to glitch (correct word?) in the line-in plug. I.e you need to keep the earphone plug pushed towards the left to get sound in both ears, and it works on other devices.

However, i have seen that Fuze v1 is working quite well, atleast for music playback which is more important than the rest for me. While the v2 still isnt working really yet.

So i am wondering if theres a way to identify which version the Fuze is when you buy it, or preferably before you buy it, without voiding the warranty? So i don't come home with a v2 model.

If not, is there any ETA on when the Fuze v2 will have a working audio player? Plugins, video, etc arent really important.

Thanks in advance! Cheers.

You can tell the version of the player by looking at the firmware version its running.  There is no way to do this without buying it first.

We don't do ETAs for new ports.  No one is working on it.

You can also tell by the box type and model number:

The box for the V1 fuzes look like this:

V2 Boxes look like this:

Also,

V1 Fuzes will have a model number ending with "A70" -e.g. SDMX14R-008GS-A70
V2 Fuzes will have a model number ening with "A57" -e.g. SDMX14R-008GS-A57

I think the A in A70 is probably America as the ones in the UK are E70 European.
This aside good find and will be very useful many thanks.
