Sansa Clip+ with OFW broken - cannot get to recognize it as an USB device.

I realize it's a bit late, but...

I thought of a reasonably simple potential fix for this using Rockbox without USB connectivity, that although I can't test it, *should* work... (disclaimer, may not actually work ;))

It occured to me that you could use the Rockbox file browser to copy existing data files around (ie. your media files) on the internal storage until it's full enough to prevent the OFW from doing it's database refresh.

Rockbox can deal fine with a read only FS, but the OFW expects to have a certain amount of free space and when it's deprived of this it can't refresh the database at startup.

I'm tempted to give this a try myself but my Fuze V2 has a damaged LCD screen and is almost impossible to use as a result ;)

That's not completely true. Rockbox wants to write a few files during runtime as well (especially config.cfg and nvram.bin to store it's current state). You will at least get error messages if Rockbox can't write those files, not sure if you can continue using Rockbox and just ignore them or if normal builds treat them as fatal.
