  • A small problem with my Zen Xtra 60 turned into a bigger problem. Help me save it

    What started as a small problem has grown to a big mess. My Zen xtra 60 GB unit started going to "Rebuilding Library" often. With 5000 Wma's on it, this rebuild was taking 30 minutes. So what I attempted to fix with reloading firmware to recognize the new Windows Media Player version, has left me with a dead unit.
    I have followed many of the solutions, that have been able to fix other peoples units, but to no avail. While my computer sees the unit, none of the firmware loads will see the player. I fixed what was said in the register. Went through the 4 options of the "Rescue Mode" on the player, followed several of the knowledge notes on procedures, including hooking unit up to a new Dell Laptop. Exactly the same problem happens on a different computer.
    I guess my first step is to get the computer to see the MP3 player when I run a firmware install.
    Tell me what to do to save my little player.
    Thanks Scott

    I've had a similar experience, but to a degree. I've found that if I don't use my <EM>40GB</EM> Zen Xtra for more than one day the player will "re-build" the library... but in my case once the library has been re-built it plays just fine; none of my songs or memory are lost.
    Why does the player have to "re-build" the library if the player is not used for a period of time?

    Just to answer that specific question, it's not bad for the player and shouldn't cause any problem.

  • 30GB Zen xtra battery problem: Soluti

    FYI: I tried a couple of solutions the the battery not charging problem. My wife let the unit discharge for a couple of weeks and then the battery would not charge. It did not even register in the device. I applied 5VDC across the battery terminals. Nothing. I applied 0VDC across the terminals. Nothing. I put it in the freezer for /2 hour. BINGO! Hope this helps someone.

    You may have permanently damaged the battery though. You should *never* freeze a Lithium Ion battery.

  • 30GB Zen Xtra stopped work

    I've had my MP3 Player for almost 5 months with absolutly no problems. suddenly i tryed to use it and it doesnt work. it powers up, but it never gets past the EAX screen. after about 30 seconds it goes strait to the rescue mode screen and none of the options seem to work. when i try to format all or reload OS i get a message saying harddisk problem. can anyone tell me how i can fix this and possibly why it stopped working?

    I contacted costomer support to find how much it would cost to fix my player and surprizingly it would only cost me $40 without any warranty. but thats not the miricle i was talking about. i was getting my player ready to ship for repairs so i figured id try smacking it one more time seeing as any damage to the harddri've would be fixed because it was being replaced, and TADA it worked. Its a miracle i tell ya!!!!!
    thans for all your help guys!

  • SCreen on 30gb Zen Xtra is war

    I can't provide screenshots, but my viewscreen seems to have moved itself up, and the top portion of my screen is now at the bottom of the screen.
    I can't really find much on this occurance, so I thought I'd see if anyone had this happen, and might know how to fix it.
    It still plays perfectly, and everything works as it normally would, only the GUI seems to have wrapped incorrectly.
    Thanks

    I can't say I've seen or heard of this happening before.
    It hasn't been subject to "extreme" temperatures has it's A picture would give a better indication, but it isn't something I've seen happen before.

  • Help with Zen Xtra

    I have an old?30GB Zen Xtra NOMAD Jukebox, and I recently tried to update the firmware but accidentally pulled out the USB Cord before it finished updating! Now when I turn it on it's in this "rescue mode" and I can't do anything, and whenever I try to just redo the firmware update it wont recognize it! Does anybody know how I can redo or fix this?

    Can the firmware updater software detect your player? If unable to, try running cleanup then a firmware reload if persisted.

  • Zen XTRA free

    I have a 30GB Zen XTRA. I dropped it from my lap to the floor. It kept playing the music then it froze after I picked it up. I then reset the player. I turned it on and it went into rescue mode. Now I'm not sure what to do.

    Chances are the hard disk is damaged and you'll need to get it repaired by Creative, or repair it yourself.

  • Zen Xtra Problem, Need H

    I can't get my Zen Xtra to turn on except when I've got it plugged into the AC Adapter. When it's on, it always has the icon saying that it's on AC power, and that it's not charging. With the battery in, or with the battery out, it runs the same way.
    The battery should not be dead, it's not been used really all that much, and it's only 6 months old. Is my problem likely a big one? I'm really worried that this thing is not going to work at all anymore, anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?

  • UK Zen Xtra has a problem, out of warrenty...Where is best to get it fix

    Hi all!
    Bit of a problem, My 30gb Zen Xtra (4 months old, so out of warrenty) has developed a problem with the skip-forward button, I think it's the fact that I have it on "Play any Track" so often and skip forward, gradually broken the button somehow.....
    I think it's a fairly simple repair, as the rest of the player works perfectly well and all that would be required (I think) is to remove all the casing, re-align or replace the button and ta-dah!
    But who will do it's Will any decent electrical shop have the know-how? Or do Creative have specific partners who are specialised in repairing ZEN players?
    Any help from you guys would be very much appreciated, thank you!
    David

    Only Creative repair their players. You can arrange a repair by contacting support (click the Support > Contact Customer Support link on this page).

    Which would you buy?

  • Zen Xtra - help connecting to home ste

    hi,?i was hoping that someone would be able to recommend a way to connect my 30gb Zen Xtra to my home stereo....what brand of cable works best, what type of cable (y split) etc. thanks?

    Any "y audio cable" should work. Just plug the single end into your Zen and the left/right audio plugs into an aux input in your stereo receiveer....voila!?Should cost you about 5 bucks at a best buy type store.

  • Help! I can't decide which one to buy(zen xtra or zen tou

    Hello everyone,
    I use to have an zen nx so i'm familiar with the nomads. I'm want to buy a new one but can't decide on which one. Should get a 30gb zen xtra or a 20gb zen touch. The hardri've capacity is not a big deal to me, as a 20gb mp3 player is good for me. I just want to know how they function differently.
    thanks

    The Xtra has slightly more in the way of features within the firmware and the larger hard disk.
    The Touch has a much greater battery life and is smaller.
    Best to decide on what's important to you.
