Sansa Fuze+ boot/potential charging issue.

<< < (2/2)

PockyMaster:
Thanks for the head's up monoid. I tried to give chance a shot again, but it seems to be pretty futile. I tried both USB and data connection and just USB power. USB and data kept the screen on telling me it's in USB mode, while USB power only tried to boot the device into the firmware, but would immediately shut off right after.

Thanks wodz. I'll try to catch pamaury on IRC later tomorrow.

pamaury:
Hi,
your bootloader is probably old which explains why it doesn't charge. You can try to boot to the OF to charge: from power off state, hold volume down and plug USB (keep holding a second or two). It should boot to the OF and recharge. If it does not, then catch me on IRC for a recovery procedure.

PockyMaster:
Sorry for the late response. Thanks pamaury. It's working again.

At first, holding down the power button didn't work for the first few seconds, so I gave up on it for a while. I just tried it out today again, but this time, I was a little more patient with the holding of the volume button (about 30-60 seconds) and it booted the original firmware again. There were no bootloader screens while I was doing this. I'll be loading the new bootloader ASAP.

Thanks again everyone.
