20 Most Recent SanDisk Sansa e250 MP3 Player - Page 7 Questions & Answers

try holding down the power, home, and center button all at once while you have it connected to your pc for a few seconds...see if that helps

hey, the same thing just started happening to mine. Let me know if u find a solution.

The player not support the photo file formats you have downloaded. Most MP3 players support jpg, bmp and gif image file formats.

Remove the back and check and see if the battery isn't fully connected
I put a folded peace of paper and put it on top of the battery
Also push softly but firmly on the Rubber rectangle above the battery (This is the Chipset For the screen, Black screen Blue ring problem) and put the back on.

You can charge the MP3 player with the supplied USB cable and connect it to the USB port on your computer.

The Sansa e250 works with microSD cards. Your 8GB card is actually a microSDHC card (the HC stands for High Capacity). While microSDHC cards fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work in the e250.

microSD cards max out at 2GB in size, but you can put your music on several of them and swap them in and out. It's not as convenient as having them all on one card, but that's the best you can do with the e250.

Some later models such as the Fuze will accept microSDHC cards.

The Sansa e200 series machines work with microSD cards. Your 8GB card is actually a microSDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use microSD cards, which are 2GB and smaller.

Later model Sansa such as the Fuze will work with microSDHC cards, but not the e200. Sorry if this wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way it is.

Try connecting the Sansa to the computer directly, without going through a USB hub. The Sansa is not supposed to work if connected through a hub.

The e250 works with microSD cards, which are limited to 2GB. Your 8GB card is actually a microSDHC card. While it fits into the slot it is electronically incompatible and will not work. More recent Sansa players accept microSDHC cards, but this model is limited to cards 2GB and smaller.

Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way it is.

First, make sure it's a microSD card and not a microSDHC card. microSD cards max out at 2GB in size while microSDHC cards start at 4GB and go to 32GB. Second, make sure all your music is in a folder called "MUSIC".

If that doesn't do it, please reply to this post and we can go from there.

NOTE: Please tell me you have not got it wet. Some times the screen will do this if wet.

Hi, It means you probably have the most updated version of the software. Try searching for the sandisc site there maybe an update to try. Good luck.

the card will be seen only if it is compatible with the player ..and after it will be formatted using the feature available in the player ..so ...what you have t do ..is to look in the menu for storage ...choose the card ..and under its options choose format ..and see if it will be seen after restarting it ..

tried to research you question.. and here's what i got http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-e200-series/how-big-can-microsd-be-with-sansa-e250-v1/td-p/101972

hope that helps...

These are famous for that. I have several Sansas and they all have done it. It happened when your battery completely ran out. What you need to do is HOLD THE POWER ON/OFF BUTTON DOWN FOR 15

I also have an e250. You have probably figured it out by now, but if you have not, it is an easy fix.
While the song you want deleted is playing, just press the menu button at the bottom of the ring. The menu will come up, then scroll down to the bottom and therewill be the option to "Delete This Song". Press Delete and you will be prompted to select YES or NO. Choose yes and song will be deleted. The next song on the list will be qued but will be in PAUSED mode. You can also hook up to your computer and delete songs from the song menu page. Hope this helped.

You've got music with DRM that requires regular key resets. You'll have to sync with a server to renew the licensing.
