4 GB MicroSD Bricked my Sansa Express

The SE is unstable and unpredictable, but still a nice MP3. I debricked my 1gb SE by inserting a 512Mb micro SD card. Switched on and it just worked ?!? Had problems with a 4gb sandisk SD micro, but I kept on reformatting the SE and the 4gb card. Using both the SE format function and on PC thru windows. Also reinstalled firmware a few times (Americas version) After all that could not sync successfully, so just repeated the process, and again, and again… and then suddenly everything worked !!! I have about 1gb songs on the SD card and about 500mb on the SE. 400 of my all time greatest songs which I am not going to chage soon - if ever. I don’t want to go thru everything again.

A pain to go thru all this, but the SE now works flawlessly. And it is a great player to carry around on trips with radio and recording and easy charging and cheap so no big thing if it gets lost.
