Sansa Clip Plus Constantly Turns off

<< < (2/2)

[Saint]:
Obviously without being able to examine the device myself and check the electrical integrity thereof, I can only speculate.

My guess would be that the microphone is still in place, almost certainly damaged beyond repair, but still in place. The reset was likely triggered by accidentally bridging a couple of PCB traces, which may or may not have damaged hardware further down the line.

The "good" thing is, that the mic would be relatively easy to replace, even for someone with limited or no experience, and they are cheap - also, an exact part match is not necessary here. In fact, you could likely just remove it or bridge it and have the player be none the wiser.

And, yes, you're quite right. There's nothing to lose here at all really.
