Do the hard reset about 5 times and then try to turn it on. If it’s still broken, then post events with your Sansa before it got broken

Hard reset: Vol Up and Center/Select Button for 30+secs

It’s in your manual

Hi I am having a similar problem as the original poster. When I turn on the plaver the Sandisk logo flashes for 2 seconds then the display goes blank. When I plug in the device to the USB port, the drive shows up, but I cannot access it “drive not formatted”. I tried the hard reset and it did not help. Thanks

Drive not formatted means it’s not formatted to a file system, like CDs use CDFS, Windows use NTFS, and mainly FAT32 are used by EXT HDDs, flashdrives and portable mediaplayers/mp3players. Use WMP or some other program to do it (or cmd prompt if you’re flashy with your computer skillz)

I too have been having problems with Express startup. I have now replaced it twice. Each time I am able to successfully charge it a few times and then, all of the sudden, nothing. It is working but battery low, I go to charge it and when I unplug it, it is entirely unresponsive, almost as though it has no power. Can it be overcharged? Are the USB ports subject to power surges when booting up or down the system. I have many other devices plugged into the same hub without issue. I have spoken to tech support and they said that others are not having this problem and while they agree that maybe leaving it plugged in may be the cause of its failure, there is nothing in the manual that prohibits this. Is this common? Do I really have to leave it plugged in for only a few hours?
