I’ve got the exact same problem!
I love my clip+ to bits, but I’ve only had her six months and she freezes up at least once a day.
It stalled on ‘refreshing media’ for an entire bus ride to work and then a whole seven hour shift in my pocket (yes really), I reset her before I got on the bus home and she wouldn’t turn back on.
Won’t respond to any computers, I’ve used all the ports and three different cables so I know it’s not that.
Right now she’s on day 2 of being plugged into the wall but she’s frozen on that **bleep** sansa flower screen. She’ll flash that, and then turn off. Nothing more.
Trying all the button combos I can think of but I’m losing hope.
My manual and such were in the old house, wah! Really can’t afford another, feeling kinda heartbroken.
The things we do to avoid iPods, huh? ):
