I have purchased new sansa fuze now when i charge this it shows the charging icon for few minutes and then it disappears,this is a brand new sansa fuze and when i charged it for the first time it was showed the charging symbol until i disconnected it from the comp,but it did not charge it was the same charge point before i plugged in to charge.I am using this player in india and it was brought in U.S.Please suggest me the steps to troubleshoot this particular concern.
Actually when i connect my player to the comp for charging intially it shows the charging icon and it starts charging for few seconds later the icon disappears and the charging stops.I have tried this with different comp and different USB ports its still the same.
Is it connected to the front USB port on the computer? Sometimes the computer cases’ cable is unable to provide proper power levels for USB powered devices, the USB port on the rear of the motherboard is a better option. My display stays on, and the battery charge “bolt” stays on the display, as the battery charging icon flashes relevent to the power level.
I was also facing the same problem and i also bought from someone form us
force your Sansa players to connect in MSC mode(settings-usb mode-select msc} to your PC
For Sansa Fuze :
1. Turn off your player.
2. Slide the Power switch on the right side of the player down until you see the orange indicator.
3. Press and hold the << (rewind) button
Connect the player to the PC with the cord while holding the << (rewind) button .
Thanks a million! After I followed your instructions, my laptop recognized my Fuse and “installed” it. The unit began to charge and continued normally.
