I think I have this problem with my 4GB Clip. A couple months ago it started shutting off after the flower logo at startup. The problem was initially so infrequent that I thought it just got a bad file. I deleted the files I had recently loaded and the problem seemed to go away.
Now, however, it is back with a vengeance. The Clip shuts off every time I turned it on and I had to reset it first in order to use it at all. Sadly, it seems to have finally died. Resetting it no longer works as a temporary fix and most times I can’t even get a flower logo out of it. The Clip is also totally unresponsive to being plugged into a PC, so I can’t format it or change the firmware.
I originally thought that the battery had just worn out, but it still shows a half charge for the split second before it dies, and there is no LOW BATTERY warning.
Any thoughts? Should I be looking for a new Clip?
