Hi, I have ordered a sansa clip which does not have am FM radio. Apprently there are two versions? I’m curious does my sansa clip have the internal hardware for the radio? so is it just the firmware stopping it from fuctioning? If so is there anyway to get the radio working?

Where do you live? According to certain country’s governmental regulations, the FM radio has to be disabled in units that are sold in these areas. Most commonly, some European countires have this prohibition.

I live in the UK, the sansa clip I have purchased is from Ebay (so could be a european sansa clip). The sansa clip I have is without a radio feature. However is the radio hardware there or is there anyway I can tell?

I seem to remember a workaround posted in this forum. Have you fiddled with the “settings” under main menu? If you search this forum for radio postings many months ago you may find a trick setting or firmware download. I used my fm in europe recently without any blowup.
