Sandisk Sansa View 8GB = would not connect

I received a Sandisk Sansa View 8GB for Christmas and tried to connect it to my Dell Inspiron laptop (XP SP2). It would not connect to the laptop. I connected with the USB cable and the PC indicated a new MTP device was attached and then indicated that a problem has occurred during installation and your device may not work properly. The Sansa View device was not recognized and did not appear in My Computer.

I used my Sansa View the other day and it worked just fien. Today I turned it on and the screen is really messed up. It looks almost like it was cracked, but whenever I don't use it, it sits on my desk away from anything that can mess it up. What do you think happened and can it be fixed?

Yes, you can use the Bruce hardwood floor cleaner. I've used it many times to clean up after jobs. It brings a nice shine to the floor and is designed for either a hardwood or laminate floor. Hope this helps.

your computer can't notice your device because the are no drivers on your computer for it, try putting the installation cd in your computer and let your computer find it, unplug it then plug it back in it sholud find it, leave cd in drive until it finds it

Headphone Jack issue Sansa View 32GB

I need to replace the headphone jack for my Sandisk Sansa View 32GB mp3 Player. There is a crack down the length of the headphone jack, and I can usually only get audio out of one headphone at a time. Is this something I can repair myself, or is there someplace I can send it to get repaired? If I can do this myself, how, and where can I purchase a new headphone jack?

Buy a broken one with the headphone jack intact off Ebay and switch the jacks.

Alright it seems your sansa is on its way out. I had to essentially mash on the center keypad while holding the power button in the on position before it finally worked. Be prepared to buy a new one, mine only lasted for 2 weeks after it started doing that
