I received my new 2gig sansa clip the day before yesterday and have already been updating the firmware to the newest version. everything works fine so far except on thing:
i have it plugged into the poweroutlet (yes, i do have a usb-poweroutlet adapter) and it is still charging the battery - even after approx. 10 hours! the battery status is at circa 80% atm.
is this normal for the first charge?
is charging the sansa clip via the computer faster?
or is my device just broken?
other than that, i must admit i am very pleased with the clip so far…
ok, i will now try to charge it via the pc…
just two questions:
does the display always have to be on when you have your clip plugged to the pc?
and second:
on my clip-display when connected, it first shows the “connected” picture and after that a fading SanDisk logo in a loop - is that normal?

thanks for the answer!
i think the solution of my problem is that the usb-poweroutlet-charger didn’t work with my clip
i plugged the player to my pc and it loaded about 5% in 10 mins - so this works the way it was intended!
Okay mine is just the 1gb but when I got it the thing would not charge. My husband did some research and found out that you have to switch the USB mode from “auto-detect” to MSC. The on-screen menu, choose settings and then USB Mode. As soon has he made the change, it began charging like a champ through the USB port.
