yep. same thing’s been happening to mine for 2 days now.
i left it sitting off for 3 hrs, turned it back on and it worked. connected to pc and it constantly connects and disconnects, rendering it impossible to add or remove more files.
p.s. whenever i have a microsd card inserted. it gets stuck at refreshing media. and if i leaving it off, inserting the card, connecting it to pc, and then turning it on, it doesn’t even respond.
i would send it back for a replacement, but i can’t find my original packaging materials with the warranty papers and stuff.
i’ve been using this sansa clip+ for about 7 months
well. turns out i bought it new from newegg in May. apparently i’ve been using for a shorter time period than i thought. i guess i use it soo much, it just naturally feels like i’ve had it for a looong time.
ok. back to the question at hand.
since it’s from newegg, how will i go about sending the clip+ to sansa for a replacement?
and would i need to send the earphones that came with it too? because i discarded those almost as soon as i got the player. i enjoy the clip’s amazing sound quality with better ones.
Great to hear. Simply telephone SanDisk Customer Service about this, for the arrangements–I believe that they’ll send you a prepaid mailing label with which to return the player to SanDisk; likely, they won’t ask you to return the earphones as well. In the U.S.: 1-866-SANDISK (726-3475). And other SanDisk contact information: http://www.sandisk.com/sandisk-support/contact-us.
You can buy a padded envelope at a drugstore/office supply store (Target, Staples, Walgreens, etc.), and put the Clip in that (I’d wrap it in some bubble wrap or padding inside the envelope as well, to protect it). Or, perhaps better, just mail it in a small box with some padding on the box, again to protect the Clip. You don’t want the Clip to show up at SanDisk in pieces …

well, i have an envelope with padding and bubbles that’s a lil bigger than letter size now. but. somehow. in the process of preparation for shipment, the clip broke off the player. (it was hooked unto something and i unknowingly picked up the player as if it wasn’t).
will this be a problem? and.
will i need to call them and inform them of this before shipping? and.

is such a damage covered as part of the warranty?
My guess is, since the original problem was covered, the new issue likely won’t cause a replacement problem. Personally, I would call them and let them know–but, your choice. The clip independently likely wouldn’t be covered by warranty, as it was caused by “human error.”
