Sandisk Clip repair tip

[root]

FYI:

The Sandisk clip is a small mp3 player. Mine
simply died- no lights, no sound, no response
whatsoever. Paper clip in the reset hole had
no effect.

In frustration I started pushing all buttons.
The triple button combination of power, center
button on front, and volume-up brought the unit
back to life..

It turns out that I need only hold the power
button down for more than 30 seconds to
effect the desired result.
