Hello,

are you sure that you are using the clip + player? because i heard about an issue with a green screen but on the clip zip player.

When I turn the MP3 Player on or off it shows Sansa logo for a sec, then the LCD light turn green for about a minute or so. After that it plays normal. I was hoping someone had a fix for this. Thanks…Ray

I do have a clip not a clip +. Here is how I fixed the problem. I reinstalled the firmware manually from the instructions on the home page. So far ir seems to be working and was easy to do. Have a good day people…Ray

I think you actually have a Zip, the clip/clip+ don’t even have green pixels.

HAHA your right it is a Zip. All these clips no wonder it took me a while to get my MP3 working right.

I know this is an old topic but it does happen to me on occasion.  So I wanted to tell anyone with this how I fix it.

I use my player for audio books. I downloaded from the library and I am constantly adding and deleting files.  The adding and deleteing will cause any computer to slow down.

I do get that green screen from time to time.  Sometimes it is just for under a minute starting and stopping, which is a bit annoying.  But today it turned green while I was listening and did not go away and it was turning off, I gave it over 5 minutes. It took over a minute holding down the on/off to shut off completely.

Step I use to fix. 

  1. To reset (reboot) it may take holding down the on/off for over a minute.  
  2. Plug into the computer and backup anything you want to save. 
  3. Unplug from computer and go reformat
  4. Plug back into computer and check for firmware updates
  5. Copy files back.
  6. Unplug from computer and all should be well again.
