Fun w/ Electronics: SansaExpress Edition

Interesting bug with the SansaExpress that I've otherwise enjoyed since purchasing. Out of the blue, the thing just doesn't turn on. Power up, see a brief logo as if it's starting up, and then fade to black. Nothing. It makes for a terrible ride home or to work knowing you've got no tunes for the trek.

But even weirder was the fix. Plug in the microSD card (which I'd held off on purchasing) and the thing is good to go. An added bonus is that I've now officially doubled the capacity of my MP3 player. Time to fill it up.
