I bought a sansa express 1 GB drive 2 months back in US (best buy) . I have loaded the mp3 songs fully and playing the songs for the 3/4 times. But Now when I start up it showing the first screeon ‘SANDISK’ and then it goes off.
Also, when I connect to Laptop, which is xp, it is recognising the drive and shows as D: drive, and when i double click the same, it is showing the msg " do you want to format it". Then i clicked YES. But it is says
I was having the same problem. The player display also showed the logo the turned off after a few seconds. One of the threads suggested adding a memory card. I did that this morning and surprising the device turned on and I was able to format it in windows media player. I was also having problems playing protected WMA files. After reformatting, I received a message in WMP stating that the time on the device must be in sync with with the time on my computer. I synced the times and everything works.
