clip+ suddenly started freezing, messing up more and more as I try to do anything to fix it...

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+

*update* i was somehow by miracle able to get the firmware to update. Formatted it, Restored settings. I just unplugged it from the computer and now it froze right away on the “connected” screen. Grrrrrrr 

 I had a clip which worked with no problems for a while, than I bought a clip+. Works ok generally, except some strange bugs (I listen to livesets 60min+ and when I turn the device off, unless I load the music from certain places it never remembers what I was playing, and restarts the whole set from the beginning which the clip didnt do)

 Anyways suddenly I go out of my house today and turn on the clip+ only to have it do the famous sudden freeze at the logo.

 I held power, turned it off, but its just constantly freezing. Won’t properly load up in the computer, and when it does it randomly freezes.

 Finally some magical way I got it to turn on, went straight to “Format”. Now it seems frozen in the formatting section for over 10 minutes! I have a 2gb version so I doubt its doing anything. In the meantime nothing is working and I’m just stuck here. I tried to upgrade the firmware, it said firmware upgrading and 1 second later it shut off.

 What should I do?

I’m having more or less the EXACT same problem, started with the Clip+ randomly turning itself off and now it does most of the things listed above: hangs indefinitely on startup, can’t move files to or from the device, only works on occasion.  It seems the more I mess with it, the crappier it gets, and if I let it sit for a day it works fine for a little while when I pick it back up.  I have a 4 GB micro SD in it, taking it out didn’t seem to make much of a difference.  I’ve updated the firmware and formatted it to no avail (now I can’t put files on it, so it remains empty).  What gives?

These things are like wives . . . They serve you best when you ignore them every so often. :smileyvery-happy:

well that is not too good to hear… Its been sitting on the logo screen now for about 6+ hours… Hoping once the battery runs out somehow that will make it work better. 

I loved the clip, but the clip+ has some strange little bugs I do hope they iron them out. I am thinking my next purchase will be for a quality smartphone with mp3 built in…
