Fuze+: battery's empty, only bootloader available

[DvC]

Hi,

my Fuze+'s  battery is empty and it won't boot neither in Rockbox nor in the OF. I tried reinstalling Rockbox and booting it by holding Vol-, but when I do the screen stays black until I release the button. Then I get into the bootloader which doesn't help me at all. The Sansa Updater doesn't find the device, although I'm able to access the internal storage.

Is there any solution to this? I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance

You should  be able to plug into usb and the bootloader usb mode should charge it. If not you could go into OF USB mode:
hold vol - before connecting USB and keep the button pressed for a while (it could be long on some model I witnessed like over 1 minute before it finally boot into OF
