SanDisk Sansa c200 2Gb won't turn on

Have you thought that maybe it's time to buy a new battery?

You have a switch to turn it on or off. If you hold the 'on' switch for about 20 seconds, this will force the Sansa to turn off. It is like rebooting a computer.

Then, turn it on again, and hopefully your player will be back to normal.

Leave it on charge for at least four hours.
See if it works.
If it has charged from that port on your computer before the port should be ok.
You could try a different port if you have one.
If no luck, try a different charging cable or charger if you have one.

Charging is discussed on page 7 of the manual.

If it is only a month old, it may be under warranty.
Ask where you got it from, or contact Sandisk.

The page for the Sansa is here www.sandisk.com/products/sansa-music-and-video-players

What you want to do is flick or slide the on switch then hold it in the on position for 20 seconds release , Then flick the on switch and it should come on for you ..
Hope this helps

Hi There

For this issue i would say the best solution is, you can use the USB cable, thats the best solution rather than using the rechargeable battery.....

Battery is rechargeable by plugging into computer. 19 hours is probably not right - more like 8 or 9.

Sansa's website has manuals, faq's and more at:

make sure you pick Sansa "Fuze" for the m240 series

Some recent Windows updates have caused problems as severe as this on many mp3 players regardles of manufacturer (the iPod has been immune because it is not Windows-based). If you have either Windows Vista or Windows Media Player 11, which are the latest versions, then perform a firmware update on your Sansa player by going to the Sansa website and getting the firmware updater:

I had the same problem - the player needs to be unlocked (the little switch on top) to be able to charge - pretty stupid if you ask me but what can you do

Drain the battery then recharge it via computer or AC adapter

I have a little problem for Sansa from SanDisk 1.0 GB mp3. It work for many months now and now it doesn't go through the USB. It try to connect to the computer but it blink 2 or 3 times and turn itself off. How can I bring it up again back to normal?
