Clip Zip bricked?!!!

[JustinA]

Hi, guys

I just installed RB on my brand new 8GB  Sansa Clip Zip, and as far as could tell, everything went smoothly. I turned it on, played around with the interface, etc. It was all good.

But when I connected the player to my laptop, it just froze and now shows the USB charging screen permanently! It just doesn't turn off or on (well, I guess it is on, albeit not functional), no matter what buttons I press!

I tried pressing on and left to try the get the Sansa firmware to boot or something, but nothing happens.

PLEASE, HELP!!!

Hold power for 30 seconds.

Thank you so much! It did it, I got it working again! I was genuinely panicking over bricking a brand new Sansa. Wow, do I feel like an ass... 

Before you lock the topic, tell me, is this part of the instability that comes with RB for the Clip Zip, or was it just something random?

Thanks again!

FYI, the Rockbox Forum Guidelines state that you SHOULD NOT make a thread saying your player is bricked, unless it truly is.

     lol. I know how that feels. I installed RockBox on my (brand new) Sansa and my screen went white. I had a little "no..no..NO" panic moment inside. But I looked it up and fixed it.

Everybody has that little "please work" moment - like when turning on a clip+ for the first time after rockboxing
