How i reset the Sansa Clip, no, i'm not asking about the "holding power up for 10 seconds" method, i'm asking about the "small pinhole" method, how do i know i'm touching the right part i have to press in the "small pinhole" method?
For sansa clip, there is not "small pinhole" to reset. A small hole you see on the cover of the device is microphone for voice recording only. To reset device, you have 2 ways
1. Normal reset: Settings >> reset >> yes
2. Hard reset: press and hold power button for 10 to 15 seconds.
