My computer does not recognize my clip (had it for 5 months, latest software updates, been working fine, but it is my second Clip first one died too) and it is no longer charging so I can’t change it to a different mode becuase “battery low” comes on as soon as I disconnect from computer- it’s showing ‘connected’ while plugged into computer, but not showing the battery charging. I have tried the turn off and hold center button technique to no avail. I have tried reset - doesn’t work. I cannot find the device in the device manager. Other suggestions?
Try connecting it to a DC source to charge it. Many cell phones/chargers have a miniUSB plug, you can use that for charging the device without connecting to computer.
I have tried plugging it into another charger:
Input: -100-240VAC, 0.4A 50-60Hz
Output: 5.4VDC 2.0A
That doesn’t work either. It says it’s ‘connected’, but the battery does not charge.
So, my computer cannot charge it, a DC unit cannot charge it, nor does the computer recognize the unit.
Oh, and I do have WMP 11.
This thing is pretty clunky in terms of the interface. . . . . So what do I do now, pitch it?
