- If the player does not turn on try other USB ports or on another computer if one is available. Make sure you are connecting directly to the computer USB port and not to a USB hub.
- If there is nothing showing on the screen and the player does show up in as a storage device in an explorer window, then the players screen is just not working.
If you receive the error "USB Device Not Recognized" on the computer, the player is most likely failed. Additional troubleshooting is unlikely to correct the problem.

Click Device Manager on the left pane.
NOTE: Sansa MP3 Players can connect to your computer in MSC or MTP mode.

The Sansa player will show up on Device Manager's right pane as:
1. USB Mass Storage device (if the player is set to MSC)

If there is a yellow exclamation point (!) or question mark (?) beside the device, try to refresh the drivers.
Refresh the drivers
1. Right-click the entry with the error mark, select Uninstall.
2. On the top menu, click Action then select Scan for hardware changes.

Connect using MSC mode

If that does not do it, re-seat the battery: Then try and see if it will come on with out the battery hooked to your computer, which I see you have done but did you change modes MSC to MTP . next delete the song it keeps hanging on and re-copy it back on to the player from a different folder or re-rip it from the CD and copy it into a new folder then re-copy to the player.
I have tried to sync music to my mp3 but not
iTunes won't sync music to any device other than iPods. You'll need to use a program like Windows Media Player or MediaMonkey.
An alternative is to use Windows Explorer. Run "My Computer" and look for your Sansa shown there. Double-click on it. You'll either see a list of folders including "MUSIC", or you'll see something that looks like "Internal Memory". If you see "MUSIC", copy your songs to the MUSIC folder. If you see "Internal Memory", double-click on that, and then you should see a list of folders including "Music" ... copy your songs to the Music folder.
