Yes it got slightly wet. Infact when I turned it sideways water came out
of
the usb port. It did sit for 24 hours before I messed with it.
I do believe it is dead as I can't get sound from the player either.

Did the player get wet? If so, you would have needed to let it dry out
for
at least 24 hourrs immersed in either rice or a dessicant like you find
in
some vitamin bottles. If you turn it on after it has gotten wet, you're
taking a chance of shorting something out and ending the player's life.
I don't have the instructions for Windows 8 but I do have them for
Windows
7
which may be very similar.
In Windows 7, connect the player, bring up the control panel, choose
system,
then choose device manager. Then find the uSB section by typing the
letter
u, expand it, then press the letter u until you hear the one which says
mass
storage device, press the applications key, go down to uninstall and
press
enter. If it asks for verification, go ahead. then disconnect the player
and
then reconnect it and let Windows set up the driver anew. I would avoid
having anything else connected via USB just to make sure I didn't
uninstall
the wrong driver.

Hello Roy,
Hopefully you disconnected the player from the computer before
attempting to reset it by holding down the power button, otherwise you
wouldn't have reset it. You can do as Bobby suggested and you can also
try using a different USB port.
[Roy] I tried all these things. There was a crackleing sound from the
headset at one point so I am suspecting the player is dead I got
trapped in bad rain storm yesterday so that could be the end of it.
Another thing you can do is to delete the driver that Windows so
miserably failed to set up or keep from getting corrupted and then
connect the player and let Windows set the driver up anew. If this is
the first time connecting the player to a Window 7 computer, then it's
something one can expect to happen about 50% of the time. you can
avoid this by turning the player on first and then connecting it.
[roy] how do I delete the driver also this is windows 8
HTH,
Laz

I have a sanza clip zip and when I plugged it into the computer it
said usb device not recognized. It does not appear to do anything.
I held the power button for at least a minute to try to reset it but
that didn't fix it any other ideas?
This is the same thing that happened to my sandisk e270 Roy
