Yesterday, the screen of my Sansa Clip + would turn off at random, but music would still play, fiddling with the device or just waiting would fix it, but only temporarily. Today, it completely shut off, but if i plug it in I see all the charging animations. And I can’t tell if it’s on or not when its not plugged in, because I dont get the usual static from my head phones . Is it broken or can I just format it through my computer?

I was able to navigate to music and now i can play music, just without a screen. Has my Clip + just become an Ipod shuffle?

I would still appreciate help from whoever knows a fix.
