My Sansa Clip is dying!

In order of preference, try:

–  Reset:  with the Clip off, hold the on switch uppermost for 15-20 seconds.

–  Reapply the firmware; it could have become corrupted.   See the firmware upgrade sticky thread at the top of the forum.

–  Reformat the Clip under its Settings.

–  Telephone SanDisk for a warranty replacement.
