Sounds like the firmware has corrupted. Install and run the Firmware Update software from the product CD.

Select the repair option and follow the on-screen prompts. This will re-load the firmware and should get your player working again.

I have 8 gp pen dirver it name was sandisk and also 2 gp pen dirver it name was transcend. the both are not display in my computer and how to display the pendirver.... help me....

Hi there !!!

I can understand the issue...

When you say both the device is not getting in the computer. Then i'd say either you don't have the version of USB 2.0 or USB driver is not installed. Please check it out...

You can try one more option for SANSA..

Check the settings of SANSA, make sure it should be in MTP mode..

1. On your Sansa player, Go to Settings, switch the USB mode to MTP
2. Connect the Sansa player to the PC..

Check on the system tray like an icon look like an GREEN ARROW mark. Right click on it and update the MTP drivers and disconnect the device..

Restart the computer and now connect the device..Try and let me know whats happening..

Snoy NW-E105

I had the same problem and struggled with it for some time. I forgot the format feature on the device itself and kept formatting from my pc. This won't work.

The solution:

1. Unhook your device from the pc by pulling out the USB cable.
2. Click the "Menu" button 1 time (found on the back of your NW-E105 player).
- This will show "Display"
3. Click the " |<< " button 3 times (the button to rewind track).
- This will show "Format"
4. Click the Play/Stop button 1 time.
- This will show "Format: N"
5. Click the " |<< " button again 1 time.
- This will show "Format: Y>
6. Click the Play/Stop button 1 time (wait for "really?" prompt), click it again.

Now your device is formatted and will play the files you add to it.
