DEAD Zen Stone Plus 2GB!!!

hello.. i have a problem with my player..
1.my computer can not detect the player
2. the player wont turn on. i tried to do the press volume down and press the play/pause button and push the reset button but nothing happens.
3. the blue led indicator is on when ever i plug the player on usb
4. i tried it on 3 computers running on XP sp2
5. im sure it has a charge and even connected the player on usb for 2 days
6. the recovery tool is not working not able to detect the player
7. the upgrade firmware was not able to detect the player
any suggestion? its frustrating..

Great! I suspect the computer is in?sleep mode when you leave it connected that's why it did not charge the player. Anyway, good to hear it's up and running.

  • Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

    Hi .
    I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
    From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
    After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
    I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
    My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
    Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
    But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
    A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
    a player which is sealed box pack .
    Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
    Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
    I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
    Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
    Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
    Pls help urgently .
    Waiting for any valued suggestion .
    Bye ...

  • Zen stone plus 2gb god **bleep** error

    ok i have the 2gb zen stone plus and my problem is it's a.not being recognised by my computer b. it does nothing to play music store files etc c.when it's chargd i turn it on but all i get is the creative logo and nothing else but the small blue light that is supposed to flash on and of stays on fully instead of flashing on and off. does anyone have any ideas to resolve this problem? preferably knowing how to format my player.

    So the player will not turn on correctly at all? Have you tried it on another PC to see if it's recognised there, and so you could format it and/or update the firmware. Has the player been working correctly until now, or did you just purchase it's

    As stated in the box pack of giving a standby time of 20hrs continious playback ...
    What is the approx backup time it offers or rather it should offer on minimal scuffling and minimum change of settings of the player?

    I haven't tested it off yet as I always charge it after one bar of the battery indicator has gone. But thought I try to use it'suntil it's completely flat this time. After listening to 4. albums and minimal playing in the menu the battery indicator still says full.

  • Zen Stone Plus 2GB -- Unresponsive

    I have had my Stone for a couple months now, and just recently it has been giving me problems. On Friday I was using it in the car and turned it off while stopping in a store. When I returned and tried to play it, the Creative symbol came on, followed by the Zen Plus screen and then went blank. I then thought that it just needed a charge and brought it home. After leaving it in my computer for a day, I took it out and found it was still doing the same thing. I tried charging it again but that didnt work either. When it was plugged into my computer it showed a full 3 bars, followed by a lightning bolt. The next time I tried, I found that not only has it become unresponsi've (no lights, or screens), the computer is not recognizing it.
    I hope this does not mean the end for my MP3, because I have enjoyed it up to this point. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try attaching the player to the computer. While it is connected use a paperclick (or straightened staple) to click the reset switch.
    Hope this hel

  • Zen Stone Plus on Macint

    Hi!
    I have new ZEN Stone Plus 2GB Black
    but i have a question - about charging - I have Mac OsX and when i connect it to computer the charging icon appears on the display, but I has been charging for few hours now and still there is steady blue light - not blinking - can anyone tell me how long does it take to fully charge the battery when I connect it for the first time and secondly - is there any software for Mac OsX 0.4.0?
    thanks a lot!

    funny(!!) I have the same model (Zen Stone Plus) and the exact error occurs to me to --a power sign and NO CHARGE!!
    I thought I heard that with Zen -starting it (re-boot) with the Zen plugged-in already will let it work? I tried that and , that didn't help.. -Does any Forum user have any idea what to try?

  • Zen stone plus no longer wo

    Hello all! I've been very happy with my Zen Stone Plus (2GB) until suddenly it doesn't work. It seems to charge ok but turning it on, the "CREATIVE" starting logo just stays on the screen forever (until the battery runs out I presume). When connected by USB, if I double click on the player's icon in My Computer the explorer window crashes.
    My first thought was to update the firmware (I've never done this before) but on the creative website I cannot see my exact product supported (closest matches are Zen Stone Plus with built-in speaker and Zen Stone Plus (4GB)).
    What should I do? Thanks for your time.

    At the?BOTTOM of the page where you found the other Zen Stone products, it will say something such as click here, if your product or player isn't shown. That will take you to the page you need.
    When you are on the correct page be sure to click at the bottom of that page to show the entire list of firmwares and software available. Creative is very good at hiding things and you have to read carefully. Skimming the pages while reading?doesn't work to your advantage

  • Battery Replacement Zen Stone Plus

    Li-Poly batteries last approximately 3 years after manufacturing (charged or not). So if your Zen Stone ceases to function and it has not been abused, it'ss likely a dead ? no longer can be charged - battery.
    I purchased a battery (actually 3 to meet their $ minimum) from allbattery.com? Polymer Li-Ion Battery 3.7V 240mAh. Order it with NO PCB option. $3.99 each plus shipping. After they arri'ved, I note the brand name is ?Tenergy. Original battery specs from Creative are 280mAh, a nominal difference. Specifications I didn?t have were charging requirements, but I?m happy to report they recharge seemingly identical from the Creative OEM batteries.
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0[/img]<tr><td>This battery replacement takes some skill and is, obviously at your own risk. Suggest examining ribbon cable prior to ordering batteries. My unit is a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker.
    </td></tr></table>?
    BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
    Run Exacto knife or small utility knife around sides and end NOT including end opposite display (or you will cut through a ribbon cable) penetrating no more than 0.075 (/6th inch) to split case of Zen Stone. It may be necessary to insert small jeweler?s screwdriver directly at corners to gently pry, releasing positioning studs. If you?re lucky, you won?t break off studs, but if you do, don?t worry they are mostly for alignment purposes.
    Lift off control pad (volume up down, fast forward, reverse, center select button) Remove two Phillips screws holding pc board to bottom case and lift edge of pc board with small screwdriver under USB port.
    Hinge pc board up with headphone jack on top and lift up battery with screwdriver.
    Examine ribbon cable, which is folded around control board and sandwiched between control board and pc mother board. If cable is torn (or cut) you?ll probably have to throw Zen Stone in trash as this cable may be impossible to repair.
    Remove white tape from top of battery and unsolder + and ? connectors
    Tint ribbon cables with solder (I used a little solder paste to get solder to stick), the solder in wires, paying attention to + and ? terminals. Be very careful not to touch the ribbon cables together or solder on a metal surface.
    Cut a piece of electrician tape and wrap around ribbon cables and soldering joints.
    You can test your Zen Stone prior to assembly.
    Reassemble in reverse order using a pin, tooth pick or small paper clip and clear silicone caulk around edges. Wrap elastics around unit holding upper and lower case together while caulk dries.
