How to I start the Sansa c240 up it My computer doesnt show it plugged in. I just recieved it as a gift and plugged it in last night to charge. The blue lights are on but nothing is happening.
On Windows XP, when you open My Computer, the Sansa C240 shows up at the bottom, under "Other". Because of DRM restrictions, you cannot copy media files to the C240 using Windows Explorer. You have to use Windows Media Player to sync playlists to the C240 (WinAmp can do it also).
I also suggest that you check out RockBox. It's an alternative operating system for portable media players and they have a version for the Sansa C240. It will give you some additional functionality.
As far as I can tell, to copy files to the microSD card (if you're using one) you have to use a media card reader, then insert the card into the C240.
You can also try using the C240 in mass storage mode. Details are here:http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Ma...
I found out my problem with the microSD card was because I had a microSDHC card (> 2GB). The C240 original firmware cannot read microSDHC, but RockBox firmware can access microSDHC as read-only. There is more info about it at the link above.
