e260r no cd?? old player hook up please work

I have a long history with sansa products lol. I lost my new View so I dug up my old e260r [looks like an old View model but it’s not] and plugged it in. It’s obviously not recgonized by windows anymore but I assume it can still charge itself, yes? I see the little electric bolt symbol being displayed on the LED screen so assume it’s charging.

My question is, what do I need to download to get this old player working again so I can transfer songs? I went to the download wizard and got the “Sansa Firmware Updater - General” at 3.1 mb. Will this fix things or do I need something else? All I want is the ability to charge the unit and tranfer mp3s.

Thanks and I’ll read the stickies.

Nothing.

If you read the stickies, you’ll see that you can update the firmware manually; no Updater needed.

And if you really want to get down to it, you don’t even have to do that. It worked fine just as it was out of the box; it still should. :wink:

Settings/USB Mode in the r units are Rhapsody/PlaysforSure. Switch to Rhapsody (=MSC) mode.
