Hi, i bought my expressa bout 6 months ago, and today for somereason stopped working. I will try to go in detail, but basicly when you push the power button, it shows “SanDisk”, but after that it blacks out. It stays blacked out for a few seconds( 20sec to a min)
, then it finally turns off (i know this because while its blacked out, even if i push the power, it wont turn on, thus its still on). Also it can tell if hold is on or not, but doesnt do anything else. Also when I plug it in to a PC, it stays at “connecting”, forever and doesnt move onto “charging”. Can any one help me?

my other question was that when my sansa is off, where the blue light is on the buttons, one corner is still lit when its off. Is it suppose to be like that, or is it suppose to be off.
  Sorry for a long post, Thanks in advance,
  Ken

go out to a shop and buy a micro sd card. ive heard a few solutions but for me, just putting in the card and turning it on did the trick. I updated the firmware also just in case. XD. most microsd cost around 10-30$ so shouldnt hurt ur wallet too much.
