clip zip shuts down upon plugging into pc

nada…I deleted what turned out to be 4 different clips that I have connected at one time or another…

Plugged the bricked zip in. zero. No beep nothing.

Plugged in the other zip, beep, software downloaded. good to go…

Hate to say it, but it’s probably shot…I had given it to an autistic neighbor whose clip broke, and he couldnt add music to it…the problem developed while it had been sitting in my car, unknown to me…

so I 've been playing with it trying to get it back. At first all my music was still in there, I just couldnt plug it in…
