2 bricked e280's - Is it rockbox?

(1/2) > >>

awilliams:
I have owned two Sansa e280's and installed rockbox on both of them.  They ran rockbox fine for months and then one day they would not start up and I was unable to unbrick them.  Has anyone else experienced this.  I assumed if I were going to brink the player it would happen when installing rockbox.  Could rockbox brick a player even after it has been used for so long with no problems?  Have I just gotten a few bad sansas? 

I just ordered a Fuze to try it again. (Isn't that the definition of insanity!?)

Any advice?

Thanks

saratoga:
I don't think anyone has ever reported bricking an  e200v2, but you never know.  I'd pull the batteries, let it sit for a few, and then put them back in just to be sure they didn't crash.

Chronon:
I use my e280 daily and it has been going strong with Rockbox for years.  I don't know what the explanation is for your experience. 

yapper:
Did they both fail the same day? How are you charging them - via a PC USB port, or some other charger?

gottahavit:
I've used and abused my e280 for almost 4 years now, and have had rockbox on it for nearly that long.  NEVER had any problem whatsoevever.   Battery still lasts for forever.  This thing has paid back the 99 dollars I spent for it many times over. In the same time period my biking partner has gone through 3 ipod nanos.
