My3 week old&nbsp; Sansa Clip’s FM radio abruptly stopped working.&nbsp; The MP3 player still works.&nbsp; Any suggestions?

You can try to get a good reception or you can try to update the firmware of your player;

Updating the Sansa CLIP.

[http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/300/kw/sansa%20clip%20firmware%20update/r\_id/101834](http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a%5C_id/300/kw/sansa%20clip%20firmware%20update/r%5C_id/101834)

And if same thing happen you can go back to store for replacement. 😉&nbsp;

I had successfully updated the firmware before it stopped working.&nbsp; I tried several different ear phones to rule that out.&nbsp; Neither picked up any FM stations, but both provided MP3 music.

Do you see an arrow or a box just under the frequency? Arrow means play, box means mute.&nbsp;Try pressing play/pause. It functions as a mute on/off for FM radio.

Good point.&nbsp; I didn’t know there was a mute. Thank you.
