you dont say what kind of mp3 player it is, not that it would help .but you never know .
My suggestion would be to make sure the random play button ,if it has one [mine does ]isn't stuck in !

look for a mode button,push it to see if you can get rid of the pro .mine actually doesent have a random button but a mode button and a big P darkens when i push the mode button ,P is for random order on mine .

OK .I think there almost must be a number on it somewhere that will indicate what kind it is and maybe find a maunal or some other info in a google search !

My 16 year old is in his bedroom all upset because his new Sansa e-250 is locked on/frozen and there is nothing he can do to make it function. The screen and round dial ARE eluminated, but the device is frozen in the on position. So we are sitting here watching the unit possibly die from being On constantly and it's 7;30 p.m. and we can't possibly get to a retail outlet for the next 48 hours as my wife's and my schedules aren't condusive to help immediatly. Does anyone out there possibly know why the unit would freeze up ? My son feels like sh-t and I would like to fix it in a second if only I knew where to start. They are such small units ! HELP ANYONE !!!!!!!!

:rolleyes:

Ok... When you bought the MP3 player it SHOULD have come with a paper that says that if for some reason the device is not working you can bring it in with the paper and they will fix it or something like that.:cheesy: I hope that helped!:mrgreen: (even though it sorta sounds like it won't.:rolleyes: ) Good luck!

you cant usually put dvds onto portable media playeers due to copy protection

HI all,

Sometimes I also have a lot of troubleshooting with my mp3 player, recently I found a tech support website with great solutions and live support! If you'll have more troubleshooting or support problem I suggest this site.

Here is the page for SanDisk Sansa e250 Support
