You can download it from here: http://www.sansacommunity.com/download/11061/Sansa-View-User-Manual/

You will need to download the latest drivers on to your pc, Then turn on player, then plug into pc via usb, then try opening with media player and sync devices
or
go to start menu, my computer and see if the drive file shows up there
Do make sure the latest driver is downloaded.

No. Unfortunately, only the manufacturer would be able to repair your player. And most companies simply replace mp3 players instead of trying to repair them. The exception are players that have actual hard drives inside such as iPods that are 20gb or more. Most mp3 and mp4 players have flash memory (no moving parts inside) and it's actually cheaper for the manufacturer to replace units that are in warranty rather than stocking replacement parts for every model they sell.

if you did not wait 6 hours at first when you charged the device for the first time than you could have damaged your battery and it is finaly giveing up on you you fill need to take it to a specialest and get it replaced or if you know how to fix it then just unscew the back and replace the old battery with a new one

Hi

click here for instructions to get your computer to recognize your sansa view

Go to "Music" menu, then press the right arrow/fast-forward to get to "Music Options" menu.

Press the right arrow/fast-forward to get to "Shuffle". Press the center button to turn it OFF, then press Back Arrow several times to return to "Music" Menu.

Plug the view into the computer via usb and find where your music files from frostwire are downloaded to (most likely your Shared folder) and copy or drag the destined files to your Views Music folder and then unplug when your view is done transferring and all the songs you placed in the folder should show up.

Visit http://www.sandisk.com and select your device. You can find device drivers.

Unfortunately, the two things you already tried are the only troubleshooting options available. There is either a loose connection inside the player or possibly you have a bad USB cable. If the cable is fine, the unit needs to be repaired/exchanged through the manufacturer.

try different usb ports or different cable, or clean the contacts with alcohol

It may just be your card. Is the protection switch on the card set? You can always try to update the drivers for the reader.

use the sansa media converter to transfer music and movies to your player. I have provided a link below to download and install it on your computer.

Good Luck.

Try check if your lock slider didn't get anything stuck in there. If there isn't contact SanDisk
