Looks like you need to have your unit in for RMA.

go here and look at the FAQ or “stickies” on top…

You might find what you need to do.

try resetting the player first then turn it on again.  if that didn’t work, there’s a chance that you formatted it using Mac OS extended.  try using recovery mode then drag a “sansa.fmt” file onto the player.  you have to use a windows machine on this one because the mac can’t write to any FAT12 drive.

marqck-

Did you mean FAT32? I haven’t seen FAT12 since the days of the Osborne I and the Kaypro CP/M machines.

Ah, the nostalgia.  Think I’ll go an fire up the old Kaypro 10 and play Air Traffic Controller.  I just need to find a keyboard cable.  A Kaypro keyboard cable is a standard Bell Telephone handset cord.

Cool stuff.
