Brightness isn't bright enough

Got my new Sansa Clip this morning, I’ve had it plugged in 10 hours and the battery indicator shows a full charge.  I have adjusted the brightness level as high as I can and it’s not bright enough to see unless I turn the lights off in the room.

Also I when the song title is scrolling through, I can see the Sansa and computer icons faintly in the background where it is hard to see what the song title (or whatever) is.

Is this a defective clip?  It came from Amazon.

Indoors, the Clip should be plenty bright enough.

Give us a wee bit more information about your Clip:  how many GB capacity is your device?

With the device on, go to Settings > Info and read the first line of information, the firmware version.

No worries, I’m blonde too.

It’s hard to see, looks like it says Version 02.01 and something else behind it I can’t make it out it is so dim.

It’s a 2 GB

Ooops!  I clicked on Accepted Solution and didn’t mean to!:neutral_face:

It certainly sounds defective.  But you always could try a system reset, or reapplying the latest firmware and seeing if that helps.

It sounds defective to me.  Return it,  the screen should be bright.

I returned it to Amazon this morning.  It was very dim yesterday, today it completely disappeared.  My replacement should be here tomorrow morning. :slight_smile:

Calling all blondes, brunettes, red-heads…hair of all colors and even those with no hair!  :smileyvery-happy:

I posted a few quick shots of my silver 4GB with the brightness turned to its lowest setting.  I figure I have a normal unit…given that we don’t exactly have a library of shots to compare our units to, could you please take a look (shortcut below) and if yours is noticeably dimmer please note it!
