Top 10 SanDisk Sansa c240 MP3 Player Questions & Answers

i had the same problem with my c240..my computer would not recognize that i had connected anything..so i went to settings on the player scrolled down to USB option press ok and changed the setting to MSC instead of auto detect ..i reconnected it and the player came up immediately ..worked for me hope it does for the rest of you..{if anyone knows how to delete songs let me know..thks}

Open up your windows media player and click on the sync tab..your device should be listed there..and also it will show you all the songs you have in there...or you can just format the whole player..formatting will erase everything in that player...

If you go under settings there is a reset there. You should also be able to access your songs from your PC when u plug in your USB & could delete songs there. Might also want to look into getting a micro SD if u don't already have one. Good luck!

There is quite possibly a problem with the USB cable or the USB port on the computer, but try this shortcut force to force the computer to recognize the Mp3 player: Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard

how to download the instructions manual for sansa Sandisk C240 MP3?

It depends on the version. v1 players can support up to 2GB. v2 players can support up to 8GB.

You can find out what version you have by going into Settings -> System and look at the version. If it starts with a 01 then it's a v1, if it starts with an 03 then it's a v2.

------------------

You can use a card up to 8GB if it's a v1 player by installing Rockbox on it. It's a 3rd party firmware for some mp3 players - although you should make sure to read any instructions for installing it, as well as read the manual.

-> Rockbox.org

I will stress this again: make sure you know what you are doing by reading installation instructions and the manual.

In order to install Rockbox on your player it needs to be in MSC mode (Settings -> USB -> MSC). If your player doesn't have the USB option in the Settings menu then you will need to downgrade your firmware. There's info on this in the Sandisk forums about how to do this.

Sansa C240 can only read SD cards that are NOT SDHC - that means it can only read up to a 2gb Micros SD card.

Have you tried another set of headphones? Normally the headphones wire is what goes, instead of the jack itself.
I've never opened one of those up, but I guess you could re-solder a new jack into it if you were adept at that sort of thing...Finding the right jack is the trick, I'm afraid.
I'd repost your question to the sandisk forum board here. Also see this list. It sounds like yours is a common complaint, and you may have good luck contacting sandisk technical support and getting it repaired...
Good luck.

You can try the Sandisk website at http://www.sandisk.com/sandisk-support/driver-download-wizard
to see if you can locate drivers. It looks like just the firmware updater though

Hello,
You can find the necessary driver at the below manufacturer link:
http://www.sandisk.com/sandisk-support/driver-download-wizard
From there click the drop down menu for your product type, select the c200 series of players towards the bottom.
One option will come up up, select it and press continue, follow the download instructions from there.
Hope this helps!
