SOLVED Fuze v2 Bricked
« on: July 01, 2010, 07:33:15 PM »
Just the other day, my friend gave me his Sansa Fuze v2. It worked well. I decided to install Rockbox on it after another friend showed his to me. I installed it after figuring out how to do it and it worked fine for a couple of hours. When I set it down on my kitchen table, it was working fine. When I came back, I noticed that it turned off. I tried turning it back on and it was unresponsive. I then researched the topic but resetting it was all I could do (I wasn't planning on taking it apart.) I held the power switch up for numerous times and it was always unresponsive. After about 1 1/2 days, it cut on, but it barely loaded the firmware before it cut off and was unresponsive. It still is unresponsive and can't be charged or show up on my computer. I really would appreciate any help that you guys can give, Thanks.

It took a total of four days before mine would even charge. That's the only thing I can offer.

With headphones on, hold the power button for ~90 seconds or until you hear a click.  Then power back on.  The player is probably on right now but locked up.  It takes a long time to power off when stuck in this state.

@BI0906BMXK, This seems to work, but not all the time. I don't know if my battery is dead or not half the time. Is this the only way to make it work?

You should probably update your player to the latest version http://download.rockbox.org/daily/sansafuzev2/rockbox-sansafuzev2.zip.  Locking up and requiring the "long power-off" is not normal.

Okay, I'll try that. If it doesn't work, I'll reply again.
