Sansa Clip+ doesn't start
« on: August 09, 2011, 07:22:15 AM »
Hi all,
I got that Sansa Clip+ just Saturday an directly installed Rockbox. Everything worked pretty well until today. I used the Clip this morning and everything still worked fine. But midday as I tried to boot it it didn't work. The screen just stays black and nothing happens.
I also tried to pressing other buttons while pressing boot, but it didn't help.
So I thought it might be empty but even connected to the computer nothing happened.

So what could it be?

Have you tried a reset? Hold the power button for 20 seconds...

Sometimes, the Clip+ gets into a hard hang state in which not even a reset works. This can happen with the original firmware as well. It normally help to wait until the battery drains (takes up to a few days) and then to connect the Clip+ to USB to charge it again.

That resets the power to the player, basically reboots it.
