Sandisk won't turn on

This is going to sound weird, but i got my frozen sandisk clip to turn on in a strange way. I put a tiny smear of lightly soapy water into the plug part that goes into the side. Plugged it into the outlet while holding the on button. Voila!!

@Pennylee suggest to post in the MP3 sub-forum so that others can benefit from your success.

Hi @Pennylee,
That’s definitely creative! Just a small heads-up — using any liquid, even soapy water, on electronics can be risky and might cause corrosion or damage over time. If your Clip freezes again, it’s safer to try a soft reset (holding the power button for 20-30 seconds) or charging it through a different cable or outlet. Glad it worked for you this time though!

Thanks!

Thank you for the information.

Attempt a forced reset. If unsuccessful, connect the device to a power source using the original data cable and charger for 30 minutes to activate the battery. If it still does not work, apply for warranty service.

Thanks it’s been working now
