Player dead after Rockbox removal
« on: January 17, 2012, 04:41:04 PM »
Hey everybody,

I just tried to remove Rockbox from my Sansa Clip+ (the menus were just too small for my eyes^^)
Since "Remove the bootloader gave me an error, I tried "Uninstall Rockbox..." - this probably was a bad move. :(
Now the player is just dead.
No response when I power on with or without back button pressed.
No response when I plug in the USB cable (tried different PCs with different OS and also w/ back button pressed)
Screen remains black.

Does anybody know if there's a way to reanimate the player or get it connected to the PC? Some hidden reset-button?^^

Thanx in advance,
LeChuck

Try holding the power button for more than 30 seconds. That's the hard reset procedure on the clip+ (and most sansas)
