Do you want to recover deleted videos and pictures from a SD card? Why don't you try 4Card Recovery. It is able to recover all kinds of files. How to Recover Photos Videos off SD Card after Formatting Unformat SD...

There's a slide switch at the top of the machine.

Given the troubleshooting steps you have already performed, the only other thing to try would be a different set of headphones. If that is not successful, checking and updating the firmware is a last ditch effort. Failing at that, you're looking at failed components and either official repair/replacement or to be comfortable with component-level work with the innards using a multimeter and soldering iron and hoping that you can find what failed.

if you have many videos, just try Wondershare Video Converter Platinum which could convert avchd to mkv, mp4, avi etc. that fit for all iPod, iPhone, BB, Android phone.

To change the language on a Sansa e-series, press the MENU button, select Settings (four vertical sliders), then select the second item on the submenu.

The ring within the buttons is the volume controller move it clock or anti clockwise

That would depend on how it's malfunctioning. Would you care to give some details?

"To format plug it in to usb. Go to my computer It shows up as a removable disc, usually drive f: Right click on drive f: (or the appropriate drive) and click format."So basically where you see the name of the MP4 appear right click on it and there should be a format option when you do.

Your 4GB card is actually a microSDHC card. The e250 works with microSD cards, 2GB and smaller.

This worked for me... Hope it works for you as well

*Disconnect the device, turn it on
*Go to Settings > USB Mode > MSC
*Connect the device
* Open up My Computer
*Under the heading "Devices with Removable Storage"
Look for Sansa E250 (Removable Drive) - Note: this heading
"Devices with Removable Storage" applies to the "Arrange Icon By: Type" , option in My Computer Window
* Right-click on the E250 and choose format
*Click "Start" and agree to the format

It is possible to recover your lost recordings.

First things first: DO NOT take any more recordings with the MP3 that you want to recover records from in case you may quite possibly ruin your chances of recovery.

Then Connect the MP3 to your computer as it should appear as a "Removable Drive" or put the card in a card reader attached to your PC.

Next, if you are comfortable with using a PC then you can download a data recovery utility that will recover your recordings with Wondershare Recovery Software from the following link:

Video Audio Photo Recovery (if you are running Windows OS)
Mac Data Recovery (from MacUpdate site)

Do NOT try & write anything back to your MP3 until you can recover your recordings safely!

If the rechargeable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

This happens often with Sansa Media Players, your best bet is to delete all your songs off the device, then re-add them again. But this time have your device on hold, which is having the switch at the top of the device pushed to the right side. This will make sure nothing happens while the device is syncing.

Usually in the settings there's something called equalizer. In it it'll give you a bunch of different sound qualities but scroll all the way down and go into custom EQ and you higher all 5 of it up and it brings the volume higher
