LOAD MAIN IMAGE FAILED

I’ve tried multiple attempts at recovery of my Sansa e260 but nothing seems to work.  There is only 1 file on the drive which is titled Version and is a text file.  Can anyone help.  

If you tell us what player you have and describe (in detail) what attempts you’ve made, then maybe someone can offer a suggestion.

The Load Main Image Failed error message means that your firmware is corrupted and you need to re-install it.

You also might try typing Load Main Image Failed into the Search box here on the forum or the Support section of the SanDisk website. You’re likely to find the help you seek there.

That would be an e260v1 judging from the text.  

You can try these instructions:

Read carefully.  Putting the wrong file on your player can break it so completely you might not be willing to do the work needed to fix it.
