The unit I bought goes to sleep in 2 secs. Then I need to either do a right or left click to on it. I can't even type a sentence in between.

Two seconds shouldn't be happening. It should go off after 5-10 minutes without use. Try another battery, if that still happens contact the seller about an exchange or return.

Toss it. It is not worth what it costs to send it back. Mine would work for a few minutes then stop, and I had to turn it off and on again every few minutes. Worthless.

Mine has been operating this way for over 6 mo. I don't remember how i pushed the right buttons but the instructions should tell you.

My first one did this right out of the box. Sent it back and now my second one does it when I "lock" and then "unlock" the player. Needless to say, I'm not impressed.

No. That is a feature that my last one had and I missed it at first. Now I just push the sleep button.

Nope it is the exact reason I trashed it. Mine also kept restarting after I would press play from a pause. Cheap interior parts.

Try uninstalling the software. Rebooting the computer and reinstalling the software. That should work. LMK. Make sure the unit is unplugged until the software is removed and reinstalled.

If I haven't used mine in for about 10 mins, it will not respond the first time I push a button. It's like you have to wake it up. The second time I push a button (sound, vibrate or shock) it works fine and will continue to be "active" until it "goes to sleep" in about 10 mins.

I didn't have to do anything to make it auto sleep. It just worked. Sorry, I wish I could help.

Just went through support for this problem. The guy asked me to remove the batteries and then click the left and right button fast, alternating between them for 10 seconds or so. I felt like an idiot doing this, but surprisingly it worked. Time will tell if comes back.

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

My Logitech keyboard have a key for sleep mode and I use every time. (Windows 7)

I would return it. I've had mine for a couple years and it's never not worked.

You can try turning it off and then back on. If that doesn't work try holding the on/off button down for about 10 seconds to reboot. If no success I would return it.

Exactly 2 hours to the minute. Check for warranty, mine already don't work.

The unit died ~2 months after I bought it so i'm not in any position to answer T. Jackson's question [How does the random prog....]

I really am a novice at it. I have gotten it to sleep for maybe 3-4 seconds (after replacing the string- beforehand it was at most 1 or 2). I have no idea what I "should" be able to do, though.
