Title: Is there anyone that will unbrick my Clip+ for a fee?
Post by: tenoc on April 08, 2021, 08:18:21 PM
I think I have "bricked" my SanDisk Clip+.  I am 84 years old and able to unbrick it.  Is there anyone that will unbrick my Clip+ for a fee?

Have you tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds or so?

This forces a reboot.

If the power button really won't work (and you've tried it a lot of times!), fixing the player may not even possible to a developer.  They tend to gradually wear the flash memory, at which point they're not fixable.
