Sansa Fuze V2 Startup Issues
mc2739:
It is possible that there has been a minor hardware change that needs to be addressed with the Rockbox firmware.
This will not be easy to fix unless a developer gets a Fuze that is experiencing this failure.

I have sent an email to the dev mailing list offering to send my Fuze to a dev if it would help find a solution, since the biggest problem to finding a solution seems to be that no dev has access to a player that is afflicted. I'll post the response once I get one. I wish there was a list if all devs, listed by country and timezone. That way we with problems could email them directly.

By the way, no such email has been sent to the dev list. Did you subscribe to it before sending? It won't work if you didn't.

My email address is different than my username. And I got a response from Michael Chicoine about it. He worked on the V1 port and is interested, so I'm going to send him my player. Maybe we can finally have an answer to this problem.

Waiting on results..I'm having same issues with my Fuze V2. I have been running my original Fuze firmware for the last 2 weeks.
Dec:
I have been reading both the Sansa support forums and the RockBox forums since before I bought my first Fuze. So far, the OF on the V2 Fuze gives me exactly what I need, no more and no less, so I have been lazily waiting for RB on Fuze to get more stable before installing it.
I recently got a second Fuze V2 (possibly the last ever retail Sansa Fuze in Ireland), as the price was too low to ignore, even without the 10% off for "non-pristine" condition (it was the last one in the shop, but thanks to the non-standard USB cable it was also the least shop-stained player on the shelf), and so I'll probably try RockBox on one or both of them. If I do have an "afflicted" Fuze or I manage to brick it, at least I'll have the spare Sansa USB cable for the other one. Hopefully I'll be able to build older RB versions and help other owners of "afflicted" Fuzes to know what older version to run.
The supplied OF version on my new Fuze is different, and the retail packaging was completely different (with a different copyright year). I haven't done any firmware upgrades yet.
Has anyone asked SanDisk about this possible minor hardware change? They support FLAC in the OF (unlike most manufacturers), and they seem to be quite friendly to RockBox, or at least they are not outright hostile to it...
