"USB Device not recognized

Thanks, Black Rectangle, but that doesn’t explain why when I disconnected it today (after again it said USB device not recognized), it wouldn’t turn off. I kept trying for about a half hour but it still showed the logo; finally it blanked out but I think that’s because the battery was totally dead by then. Additionally, if the cord was bad, why would Windows even see it to try to recognize it? But mostly, I’m doubting it’s the cord because of the problem today with it not turning off. (But it sure would be great if that was all it was!)

I did actually look online to buy a new one, but I see that the the newer versions are getting poor reviews (i.e. the Clip Sport seems hated compare to the old Clip). And the Fuze+ seems quite expensive compared to what I paid for the Fuze (the clip is cheaper but as I said, not so highly regarded in the new incarnations). I really love my Fuze and used to recommend it to everyone!
