Hmm, sounds like it may be a firmware glitch.. what's your current firmware revision on your fuze?

To check the firmware revision, go to the settings menu, then to system settings, then to Info. The firmware revision will be the first string of numbers at the top starting with .01

All-righty then, the best thing to do when the firmware is likely to be buggy, and a update isn't available (since .11A is the most current firmware revision for the Fuze at this time), is to do perform a roll back and then re-update the firmware. And without further delay... heeerrreeee weeeee go:

1. Turn on the Fuze
2. Go to "System Settings" and then look for "USB Mode" then change it to MSC
3. Click the center button so it takes effect, then plug the Fuze into your computer. (If this is the first time it's being plugged in MSC mode, you should see a Found New Hardware message, once its done, open up My Computer and it should show up as a removable disk.
4. Now for the rollback you'd need to download the previous firmware revision. However for some reason, I can't seem to find the previous firmware revision for the Fuze ANYWHERE.... which is strange, as I have most of the firmware that was released for the Fuze and View... Sooo we'll make due with what I DO have and see if a simple re-flash will suffice.
4.2 Alrighty, so explanation aside, click HERE for the .11A manual firmware files.

5. Extract the files from the ZIP that you just downloaded, onto your computer. (I prefer the desktop so I can easily find it)

6. Once you hace the files extracted, select them all, and select Copy

7. Now go to My Computer, and open the Fuze and then paste those files into the root directory (meaning just in the main folder not anywhere specific like Music, Videos etc).

8. When it's finished copying over to the fuze, disconnect the player and watch the screen of the Fuze, it should say Firmware Update in progress

9. It should finish (can't remember if it restarts or not, if not, then you should be good to go.)

If all goes accordingly then you shouldn't have a problem with the Power switch anymore. If you DO still have a problem, I'd call 1-866-SanDisk (unless its less than 30 days old in which case I'd exchange it at the POP) but if you have to call SanDisk just tell them the situation, tell them you've already flashed the firmware and still the same effect, and that you need a RMA started.

Lol its no problem, hopefully if someone else is having the same problem, this will be able to help, and if all else fails, you can revert back to this. If this helps anyone out there then I'm happy
