Be sure to try both MTP and MSC USB modes with your computer. Read in the FAQ more about this .
If there is power at your usb port, even if its not connection datawise, you should be able to turn on the clip and it should start charging. If it worked before. You can also try a suitable AC adapter to charge it. I did find that if the unit isn’t alive / on, it won’t charge.
be sure to follow the links on sandisk.com and contact thier technical support too.
Good luck, Cheers
