I found this online at www.sandisk.com under warranty and manuals link.
I believe they have an excellent Return Authorization system, that if you truly have trouble with your disk player and it's still under warranty, gather your receipts and get on line to get an RMA. I have successfully returned to disc players that were infact faulty (FAT problems) and received two replacement players. Get on it right away. Look at the manaul online too. IT can be very helpful. I've included the Battery info, and the link for the manual at the end.

turn on your sansa player. (don't plug into to computer yet)
Click Menu
Scroll through using down area till you get to SETTINGS.
Click down till you see USB.
Choose auto detect for Windows Media Player 10.
Choose MSC if you have Windows Media Player 9 or earlier.
Good luck.
This is what is needed on the C-100.
Go to sandisk.com and get your manual.!

Plug it in to your computer.
Open your Windows Media Player
Choose Copy to CD or Device
On the top right of WMP 9 you will see a drop down menu that lists various devices.
Choose your Sansa Player from the list.
You will then see a list of songs on the player.
4 MB is about about 1-2 songs I suppose.
You should be able to select and delete them simply by right clicking and deleting from the play list.

You could clear all the songs from your player (so long as you have them in your library)
and choose some new ones!

Good luck.

Copy your cd into your Media Player first.
Once it is in your library, you should be able to send it to your player by right clicking on the songs in your libary (using Windows Media Player 9).
Make sure you choose correct USB settings.
On my C-100, I have to go to Main Menu of my sansa player, choose Settings.
You might see auto detect or MSC.
Choose MSC for Windows Media Player 9.
Choose Auto detect for Windows Media Player 10.
You can also go to www.sandisk.com and download a manual for your player.

Make sure you have chosen the correct USB setting in your Sansa Player.
Main Menu
Settings
Choose Auto-detect if you have Windows Media Player 10.
Choose MSC if you have an older Media Player.
Don't know if it works with i-tunes.
Hope that helps.
This was in the manual, and I had the smae problem as you did.
Happy listening once you fix it!

On my C100 the backlight comes backon when I press the menu button.
Hope that helps.
Honestly.

Now let's get real.
This is not a warranty repair which SANDISK would likely repair.
It would never be worth it to get it fixed.
Invest in an IPOD, and don't drop or set on that or mother will be mad.

If you have your manual see if you need to check your USB connection.
On your Sansa Player go to the Main Menu, find Settings. Choose MSC if you have Windows Media Player 9 or older. If you have Windows Media Player 10 you can leave it set as autodetect (MTP) setting.
hopefully this will get you out of your slump with your sansa.

You require the Sansa Media Converter to allow you download the pictures.
This should have come with your player in the form of a disk. Check the disk if you got it.
I think you could contact www.sandisk.com and they could send you this or let you know where you could link to download the software.

If you have a main menu on your Sandisk Sansa player, Choose Settings, and make sure you have the correct USB setting selected.
If you Use Windows Media Player 10, choose auto-detect.
If you use Windows Media Player 9 or earlier, choose MSC.

The older C-100 required you to change your settings on your main menu.
Main Menu
Settings
Auto Detect or MSC comes up
If you have Windows Media Player 10, choose auto-detect.
If yo uhave Window Media Player 9 or earlier, choose MSC. Happy listening.
(You probably just forget about that little settings change on your old one).
I'm not sure if the M-200 has the same settings thing, but hopefully it does, cause that's the only solution I have for today!

It says in the user manual for C-100 sansa player that "various software packages are available to syncrhonize your songs on your device. Please refer to the specific software package instructions. "

I used Windows Media Player 9 and when you use these older Media Players you must remember to change your USB setting on your Sansa player to MSC. Turn on your Sansa Player, Choose the Main Menu and select settings. Don't choose auto-detect, but select MSC. If you choose auto-detect it will default to a setting called "MTP", and MTP wants Windows Media Player 10 to download your stuff.

I'm not familiar with how ITunes works, but perhaps AUTODETECT will work to synchronize your files.

Good luck.
