Battery Low Message - Won't recharge

I have a Sansa Mp3 m200 series player. I've never had any problems with it and use a rechargable battery system it. I went to Mexico recently with my rechargable batteries and recharger. When my player batteries ran low I tried to recharge them in Mexico, but the player kept shutting down saying Battery Low Powering Down. I bought some AAA batteries in Mexico and they didn't work either, so I left the thing alone. When I returned to Canada I tried my rechargables again - no luck. So I bought more AAA batteries and new rechargable batteries and no luck. I connected my player to my computer and let it recharge that way - it would play for a few seconds, then shut down saying Battery Low. Please help! I love my mp3 player and miss it!!! Anyone got any ideas what's wrong??

    Thanks!

Will not take a charge. took two charges prior but has now stopped

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.

Battery
The Sansa
®
Clip player comes with an internal rechargeable battery. To use the player for
the very first time, remember to fully charge the battery. You can charge your Sansa
®
player through the USB port of your computer, a car adapter (not included) USB port, or AC
adapter (not included) USB port.
Charging
To charge the battery, please follow these steps:
1. Connect the larger end of the USB cable into an available USB port on the
computer.
2. Connect the smaller end of the USB cable into the Sansa
®
Clip player.
3. The computer must be on for most USB ports to charge your battery. Your
Sansa
®
will show connected and the yellow charging indicator will appear.
The battery level indicator will blink while charging. You will not be able to
play while connected to the computer USB.
4. To stop recharging, simply disconnect the cable.
The battery can also be charged using an AC adapter (not included) or a car adapter
(not included) and you will be able to play your device while charging with one of the
adapters.
NOTE: Some low-power USB ports may not be able to provide enough charge
power. Also note that the rechargeable batteries are not replaceable.

Nothing happens when ON switch is pressed.

Have you tried recharging the MP3 player? I too have a Sansa Clip which I play in the car so I don't often see the "battery low' message, but when I recharge it the MP3 player works again. I understand it takes longer to recharge from the computer so I bought a recharger I plug into the wall.

Regarding sansa battery

Battery is rechargeable by plugging into computer. 19 hours is probably not right - more like 8 or 9.

Sansa's website has manuals, faq's and more at:
http://www.sandisk.com/sansa/#/support-0/
make sure you pick Sansa "Fuze" for the m240 series

Charging the battery on a sansa mp3 player

recharge it by plugging it in to the USB port. your sansa should have come with a USB cable and the ports are pretty easy to find.
almost all types of earbuds or earphones are compatible with the sansa system, so if you just go out and buy some you should be fine.

Problem

Have you tried removing the battery? Or maybe your battery is low. As well, if your mp3 player isn't turned on when you plug it in, that seems to affect if the computer recognizes it.
