I used a 4gb micro chip and everything works fine. NO MORE PROBLEM>>>>>>

hey u keep pressing the on/off button for a while then again insert ur sansa in usb port of ur comp ... it started working for me after that !!!

ComputerDriverFinder.com/Sansa. I searched it and this website came up.

Uhhh...I THINK you can grab all ur songs off ur mp3 player on th webstie and put it in ur library then sync it without any songs on it...I am not sure if that will work...but it might...i do not even have a mp3 player...i just have an ipod...lol

Your battery most likely isn't good any more. They're not designed to sit around for very long periods unused. The cheapest way to remedy this is probably to either get one from ebay with a broken screen and salvage the battery from it (the back cover just slides right off and you can pop the battery out) or right now buy.com has c240's for 12.99 w/free shipping (they're refurb units) and you can use the battery in either player and you'll also have a backup player.

It depends on the version. v1 players can support up to 2GB. v2 players can support up to 8GB.

You can find out what version you have by going into Settings -> System and look at the version. If it starts with a 01 then it's a v1, if it starts with an 03 then it's a v2.

------------------

You can use a card up to 8GB if it's a v1 player by installing Rockbox on it. It's a 3rd party firmware for some mp3 players - although you should make sure to read any instructions for installing it, as well as read the manual.

-> Rockbox.org

I will stress this again: make sure you know what you are doing by reading installation instructions and the manual.

In order to install Rockbox on your player it needs to be in MSC mode (Settings -> USB -> MSC). If your player doesn't have the USB option in the Settings menu then you will need to downgrade your firmware. There's info on this in the Sandisk forums about how to do this.

i think you go to settings then go to date and time

try using sansa media converter you need quicktime player for it to work

If you have windows 98, you probably have older than windows media player 10. You need windows media player 10 or newer, as it says on the package in the fine print. I had windows media layer 9, and I had to use my sister's computer to work with my player. I know its frustrating!!!

Turn on the mp3
go to settings
go to system settings
then go to USB MODE
try first setting "AUTO DETETECT"
IF THAT DOES NOT WORK TRY MTP
AND THEN MSC

ONE OF THOSE SETTINGS WILL WORK..
WHAT WINDOS OPERATING SYS ARE YOU USING?

Make sure that Windows Explorer is configured to display hidden and system files. Open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop; select menu "Tools: Folder Options..."; select the "view" tab; select the "Show hidden files and folders".

If that doesn't work, try formating the Sansa C240. Press the "Menu" button, scroll down and select "System Info", scroll down and select "Format".
It should erase the flash memory and create the required folders.

you using media player 10 or above ? or you could just change mode on player to mtp and drag and drop !

you can use any of those media programs to sync music on but when you want to put videos on pictures on you have to use the sandisk sansa converter software.

I just purchased this model for my boyfriend, had a hell of a time trying to figure it out, but after doing numerous google searches, I figured out that you have to place the lock/unlock or "hold" on some models into the lock position, then hold down the rewind button DON'T LET GO UNTIL THE PC RECOGNIZES IT!! It should work. I downloaded all the firmware and stuff I could (not even sure what firmware is... lol... just did it cuz that's what I read to do). Once I did this, it picked it up within 60 secnods and now my PC recognizes it everytime I plug it in. I was up unitl 1am this morning trying to get the darn thing to be recognized... I hope this saves you some sleep! LOL

how to download the instructions manual for sansa Sandisk C240 MP3?

just connect the mp3 player to your computer and delete the recordings from the player, this way you can add more songs to your device.

try to locate the settings of your mp3 player and reset it to its factory settings and thats it.
