Since the memory seems intact enough that rockbox can sometimes read the file structure, I tend to think it might be something like a lose solder connection on the board. You could open the player and see if theres a damaged solder, but it might just be easier to buy a new player. I’ve seen used Clip+ players go for <25 dollars online.
Thank you for your fast response! I was also thinking of opening it, at least to see whether there is any physical error. Your explanation is very likely to describe the real problem. If the problem is only one junction, I may be able to repair it, an SMD reworking station lies around somewhere. I have been able to repair a faulty PGA laptop GPU with a heat gun, I may have some chance to fix this one also. Thanks again, i will report what I find.
