well last week my MP3 player of three years (Toshiba Gigabeat F40) died (hard drive failure) and I arleady had a new sansa C250 I got as a gift. So I used the sansa for a week and today I turn it on and the LCD is cracked and has a large orange blob taking up 3/4 of the screen.

Not a clue. Ikeep it in a Hard shell case. And this last week I've used once for jogging and twice just at home.

I hope you didn't use the Toshiba for jogging? :)

I did up until last Christmas when I got the C250
P.S. I'm planning on ordering a CF card and zif to cf adapter to resurrect the gigabeat.

Why would you jog with an hard-disk mp3 player? Doesn't this mess up the disk?

Anyway, I looked at the pics, it looks like the cracks are comming from the edge of the screen. Perhaps the plastic was pressed then cracked the edge of the screen.

It only accesses the disk for a new song. I don't know how, where, or when it would have gotten pressed on.
