Unbricking your Sansa Clip

Thank YOU!!!  Especially to kashtel_js.  It worked.  I was in the same situation that you described in your post.  So I followed your advice.  I pushed the left button down to HOLD while I held down the center button.  As I held those buttons, I plugged in the USB cord and then plugged the USB into the computer.  When my Clip was recognized, I right clicked on My Computer and then re-formatted the Clip.  Then I downloaded the firmware update.  Sheesh, I am so pleased that it worked.  I will admit that this whole process took me about 3 times.  The first two times I tried to download the firmware update but it got stuck in the process.  That is when I decided that I should really try to first reformat the thing prior to downloading the firmware update. Now I will go home (I am on my cousin’s PC) and download some songs --mp3s-- using my Mac.  We’ll see how that works out.  But so far, so good.  Thank you to this forum because I got my mom’s brand new Clip now working.
