clip does not work after installing rockbox

[Chuck2010]

Help...

Upgraded my clip v2 to rockbox and now....nothing at all. Is there anything to be done? When i plug in the usb it does not work with that.

You need to boot to the OF for USB at the moment.  The manual tells you how.

not sure what you mean but hopefully the manual explains it well.

The manual explains booting into the OF here: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclip/rockbox-buildch3.html#x5-280003.1.3

Will give it a try. Ok Hlep down the left butrton while pushing the power button and nothing...absolutely nothing. Whatever I did it managed to kill the player. Is there any hope left?

Hey Chuck2010,

try this: slide the Power Button to power on and keep it in that position for some time (about 1 minute or so, or until your finger cramps) then it should power on. If not, release the button and immediately slide it to power on again.

Or another thing you could try is to plug into usb for a while without pressing any button, then unplug it and leave the player for some time untouched (1 or 2 days) and then try the procedure (holding the power button in the power on position for a while as described above) again.

Can't tell you why but these things worked for me. But it was a lot of try and error.

Hope that helps and that you can enjoy your rockboxed clip again.

Hey CK,

Tried everything you have suggested and nothing,,,nothing at all. I did a very good job on this clip!

If there is any crackle at all when you insert headphones then it means the unit is powered on (but is crashed).  Wait a while longer for the battery to discharge (when there's no longer any sign of life from the unit) then try recharging again.  After the charging circuit forces a power down due to low charge, the crash should be resolved and it should boot normally again (once it has enough charge).

hopefully what worked for you will work on my clip.

there is nothing at all...no crackle nothing. Is there any hope for this player to make it work again?

You can try this procedure:
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMSUnbrick

It seems like the page could use some cleaning up.  For example, the fact that the unit needs to be powered off is added as an afterthought rather than as a step in the procedure for "Entering the recovery mode".  Just make sure you read and understand the whole page before proceeding.  Ask questions if any of it confuses you.
