You might want to telephone SanDisk Customer Service and see if they have any workaround for the issue.  In the U.S.:  1-866-SANDISK (726-3475).  And other SanDisk contact information:  http://www.sandisk.com/sandisk-support/contact-us 

 

 

 

Except the original Clip is now in “legacy” (discontinued) status and therefore only supported via e-mail, so I doubt they’re going to be much help on the phone.

 

Have you tried un-installing it in Device Manager, rebooting and then see if it’s picked up when plugged it again?

 

Somehow though, I still think you need to re-visit the ‘reset’ procedure. Holding it longer and/or multiple tries may bring it back from the dead.
