my sansa 2Gb clip does not appear in my computer when i plug it.

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+

Tapeworm, 

Maybe under other circumstances this might have worked but my computer won’t read the player AT ALL

It charges it but won’t read it, so I can’t connect it and go through the steps to update it, in order to get it to kick over from USB mode to MSC.  So I guess until I find someone with an older computer or something my daughter will be stuck with an Sandisk MP3 player that will do nothing but take up drawer space.

Perhaps this post may help.  It tells you how to get into MSC mode without updating it.

If it charges, but won’t be recognized, you may need to push the cable plug further into the port.  Sometimes new players have tight ports and it may seem to be inserted fully, but really isn’t.

Thank you I’ll give it a try and let you know what happened

Thanks for the tips but again to no avail  :(

Just to update everyone tried a different USB port…didn’t work

Tried a different USB cable…didn’t work

Tried turning it off, holding down the circle button and then plugging it back in…didn’t work

Tried pushing the USB cable in as far as it goes (praying I didn’t break something with the force I was pushing it it)…didn’t work

Will plug into computer, will charge, but isn’t recognized by computer, so still stuck

It won’t switch to USB mode because it’s at the very very first firmware setting oV01.01.11A and can’t update till it’s plug into the computer (which as I mentioned before the computer won’t recognize it)

Tried updating window media player to #11 and still doesn’t read it 

So any other suggestions?

The only thing I can think of that is left to do is to contact Sandisk Tech Support

1-866-726-3475 in the US. 

 It’s quicker to call them instead of emailing them.  Even though your daughter got the clip as a gift, it’s still under warranty.   Sandisk is known for good customer service and I’m sure the rep can help you get a warranty replacement.

Thank you, I will definately give them a call after work tomorrow  :)
