ne demarre pas en mode sans echec

I Have the same problem, but mine has vertical lines running on the display, try contacting sony support

You have probably turned on the sleep timer.This function sets a time delay to automatically power OFF regardless of playback status.In the SETTINGS menu, use <<and>> to select “Sleep Timer” then press Z and then press the play/pause button.Then use the + or - keys to highlight disable and then press the play pause button again. Let me know if it worked.
Sai.

See my problem posting and do not be frightened.

Try doing a hard reset on a Sansa m250:

1. Turn off the Sansa. Just pull the battery out for a second.
2. Plug the Sansa into a computer, and open "My Documents" in the computer.
3. Open the Sansa file as if it were a drive, then go to the "MUSIC Specific storage" file.
4. Right click the "MUSIC Specific storage" file, and press "Format."

This should hard reset the Sansa m250. I do not know if this will work on other Sansa m200 type .mp3 players. You can start over with your playlists. This has worked for me.

your ILO has somehow lost its file structure. look for a tiny pinhole to reset the device. if none, then remove batteries to attempt reset. if still no songs, then firmware upgrade if possible or copy file structure (using windows) from a friend's ILO.

I have the same problem. So I pulled off the Play button and there's a small little stick there and I just tried to pull it out and it kind of helped.

goes off because the backlight is on a timer. after 20 seconds or so it turns off if no buttons are pushed. if the player will still play music but nothing shows on the screen, then the display is shot. The screen is not replaceable on these players. sorry, but it's most likely junk now. You could use it as a data storage device still. Best bet is to buy a used player off ebay or amazon.

how do i get music on to my coby mp3 from the computer, my daughters works from the computer why doesnt mine
