I have a bargain 1GB Sansa MP3 player.  No docking station like iPOD.  Homer be cheap.

I'd like to listen to it at my desk while I work.  However, I'd be charging batteries every other day.  

Usually when you hook up the USB it automatically locks in sync/download type mode..not player.

However, I was thinking about doctoring a USB cord to only connect the 5VDC and not the serial data port.

Has anyone tried this?  Have I inhaled?

On my Sansa, if you plug it in when it's off, it will turn on and be a player.  Charging in the background.  If it's on when I plug it in, it connects for sync.  Maybe that'll work.

What's that all about, anyway?   

Dude.... I have an M240   Seems like no matter what I do (on/off), it goes in to a "USB connected" mode.     I even tried to "stop" the USB and it just seems to power down the M240.  Does same on my laptop at work too.

I think I've tried to help you a couple of times now.  Nothing.  LOL.

Maybe a bump will help more.   

Back to my Sansa MP3 player.... I just noticed they have a firmware update....I think I'll try that.

Wow...I guess I don't feel so bad going off topic on my own thread....

Where do you get those Shannonisms?   He's like Yogi.   They're great.   I once walked about 5 miles to get an autograph ...it's somewhere buried....I got Lou Brock, Mike Shannon, and someone else.  My legs weren't as long as they are now either.

PapaHomer:

He's like Yogi.

Totally.

Believe it or not, one of the better ones can be had via an "I'm feeling lucky" google click.  Just type shannonism.

Nice self-hijack attempt, but I hope you find a solution for the powah... 

Uhh, you might want to see if any of your friends have a wall outlet ipod charger, it may work
