Sansa Clip not working after 7 months...no response at all from support on here

I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble.  I can tell you my clip is over a year old and I use it daily and love it.  Looks like you have already had some help here.  I have to say that Sansa takes better care of it’s customers than any other electronics company I have worked with.  They offer great ongoing support in the way of constant firmware upgrades and fixes.  These forums provide a great chance to get support from people who have the clip and may have had similar problems too.  I hope the broken battery info helps you.
