Circuit sounds very wonky.

Hard power reset may get it back fully.   They say 20 plus seconds of power button hold. Then release power button. Then hopefully power on normal.

Eric I did not see this until now.  Somehow it was in my spam folder.  Right now it ONLY plays when charging. Since I want this to listen in my car I bet I have a cigarette to USB adapter somewhere. This should work.  Cool.

Can it charge and play at the same time? If so a battery bank might be a hacky solution. If you’re looking to fix it; I’d recommend ifixit.com. Those are my two “easy” fix solutions. 

Cheers,

Would anyone be knowledgeable?

I have an old 8 GB SanDisk Clip Sport that I am trying to resurrect if it can be done easily.

Yesterday I left it connected to my Linux Computer USB for two hours.  The screen read "Low Battery"

This morning, I plugged it into a house charger and left it charging for nearly three hours. The same "Low Battery' Screen appeared.  If I hit the power button the MUSIC screen appears.  I had music on there from tinkering years back.  The unit seems to operate fine (I plugging in earplugs and listened to music) while charging, but as soon as I disconnect the charge wire no matter what the screen view, it all goes dark.

On line searches have not been helpful.

Any thoughts?

...fyi leaving it even longer on the charger just in case
