Manually reinstall the firmware. Don’t install the updater since there won’t be any more updates–just download the All Regions link for your hardware version (1 or 2), unzip, drag Fuzea.bin onto the Sansa Fuze driveletter and it will reinstall the firmware after you disconnect.

Of course, it could also be a mechanical problem with the Hold switch, but this is worth a try.
Well, I got the download to work, and V2.03.33 was upgraded again. Nothing changed.
I also tried downloading V1.02.31, but the Fuze did not upgrade to that version so I could not test for the same problem in that version. Is there some way for reverting to the V1 or an older V2 firmware?
I did note however, that the V2 file was named fuzpa.bin which I assume is for the Fuze plus. The V1 file was named Fuzea.bin.
