Problem with sansa m240

[ShoeLace]

Hello!

Today i bought this mp3 player. I had a EU firmware and i wanted to unlock the radio. So i updated player with American firmware (2.1.0A).
Everything was fine,the radio worked, then i formatted the player (Windows Explorer -> Removable Drive -> Format). Then i got this message on the screen ''Formatting. Do not disconect'':

I waited for about 30min and the message was still on. (hmmm...) So i pulled the cable from the player .

This is the situation when i connect player in both (MTP,MSC) modes:

-Connecting player with pc in MTP mode:

-Connecting player with pc in MSC mode:

Here are some pictures from player

So jeah...does anyone know how to fix this problem or is the player dead??!!

Thank you!!!!

yippie

same thing happened here, but with a few differences:

on "boot up of the device" it says initialisation failed :-(
and i cant even get msc mode to work, just says "please insert disk in drive F:"
on mtp, i can access folders, but it says its always full

i can try and reformat, but it goes on forever.

guessing its a bin job?

I try it too, make some radio in my sansa...
I have the same problem, 00MB free space, 00 MB used 852songs, 107 recordings, no MSC mode on my 240. and no "backflashing" to the original fw
But if I plug it on my amplifier, and I turn the volume to max, the radio it's work good, but very very quiet...

so I'm a little bit angry against me... what can i do now?? Go back to the shop and tell them, oh it's work till now until one week, and now it's just go wrong??? hmmm I hope it will be somebody could fix it..

(sorry about my english)

I tried everything about my problem. I even wrote several e-mails to Sandisk tech support. The guy was very kind and he tried to help me with my problem but nothing worked. So i went to the shop and replace the player with new one.

did you manage to get this sorted or did you have to throw away your unit??

I replaced it with new one. They took the 'old' player.

I hope my vendor do the same, I bring it back yesterday, but I'm afraid,that they will realise my "hack", and they will say "good bye". They sad this repair process will resort 3 week.
