Sansa e260R: Faulty Battery or Faulty Connector?

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 18:07:48 -0700

Good evening,

I’ve recently dug up my old Sandisk mp3 and thought I’d try to use it again. I ended up using a known-good generic 3rd party Apple 30-pin connector to plug it in into the wall socket. I tried turning it on a few times to see if it would run on power but the same message would appear.

“Battery is too low. System shutdown.”

I even let it alone for 30 minutes but there wouldn’t be any battery indicator or changes on the screen, same message always ends up popping up.

Another thing I ended up finding out was that whenever I wiggled around the cable the ring light-thing would turn on for a very quick second but then turn off. i checked the connector itself and it didn’t seem to have any external damage to the prongs or the connector itself.

Not sure if it has to do with a battery replacement but, I wanna double check myself and see if my suspicions are correct.

Any information or tips are appreciated.

Sansa e260R: I plug my e260R into a USB on my computer and I get a message

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 00:10:49 -0700

It states "Load main image fail. Switch to Recovery mode. I was wondering if there is a fix for this or if this message is indicative of a specific problem that will require a replacement part. I would appreciate some feedback if you have time. My name is James Walker. I live in Lubbock,Texas. I'm kind of an old bird (early '60s) and money is beyond pretty tight. I also have a smaller SanDisk device. It's somewhere packed away. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
