Buttons and Wheel on Sansa Fuze 8GB Will Not Work. Help Please?

The wheel buttons and the wheel on my Fuze will not work. I don’t get the blue light, and when I turn the wheel of press the buttons, nothing happens. This only happens to the wheel buttons (play/pause, next/fast forward, options and back/rewind). The Home button works fine, as does the power slider. 

Try replacing the firmware as explained here.

Use the manual method, not the updater.

Otherwise, you may have a mechanical problem and it’s time to think about replacing the unit.

Call SanDisk directly about a possible RMA replacment. It’s still under warranty.
