? about Zen Micro extended warre

My zen micro has been messing up on me for a few weeks now, and i got the RMA number and everything to send it back for repairs. However, since it is out of the three month warrenty, it will cost $__ (if you can inform me of how much it is to send it back, that would be great!) and i don't know how to pay Creative. Do i include it in an envolope in the package, or do i send it electronically (credit card) or what? Please help me

BenGman,
That would normally be paid by credit card. Just get back in touch with Customer Support and they will be able to arrange it for you.

  • About ZEN Micro 5GB is

    To Whom It May Concern:
    ??Two weeks ago, I bought a Creative ZEN Micro (5GB) mp3 player from PChome online shop. After one week, the battery can not charge normally and I believe it was broken. I don?t know it cause by your company bad quality control or PChome?s selling bad product. I report PChome this issue, they said they will contact vendor and understand this issue. I also told Creative Taiwan branch. Your customer service tells me, maybe the battery is old and he want me mail mp3 player back. I am not happy about this shopping experience. I think Creative is such as a good brand in music machine area before, but I doubt it now. Your customer service is not good. I am working in office hours and I have no time to mail my mp3 player. It is not fair for me to take responsibility for none mp3 to used during the mailing process. In Taiwan, if you don?t provide a good service contact window, maybe you can provide some retail stores that customers send their Creative products to fix.
    ??This mail describes my bad feeling and I hope one day you can provide us a convenient customer service.
    Best Regards,

    Wow. I actually wish that happened to me (some tracks I would really like to have music only and no vocals). Lucky.
    BUT, did you try to load them without all those programs running? How about trying to go into recovery mode and doing a disk clean up? Let us know! Good luck!

  • Question about Zen Micro's Hard Drive (not negati

    My brother keeps telling me that the Zen Micro does not have a real hard dri've or anything like his Ipod, which I highly debate because I know it's not true. Can anyone tell me what really is inside the Micro so that I can make him believe me? I know that it's something from Seagate.Message Edited by rmccabe96 on 06-06-2005 2:9 AM

    The Micro and all the current 4, 5 and 6 gig players (including iPOD mini use " hard dri'ves.
    These are about the same dri'ves as used in CF type micro-dri'ves.
    The larger players Current 0 Gig and up use the smaller lap top sized dri'ves.
    I think they are .8" diameter disks.

  • Zen Micro after warra

    Is there anything that i can do with my zen micro if it's after the warranty? it's about a month after. It doesn't connect to the computer now, my back and play buttons hardly work and if i touch the headphones near the jack the music stops, just wandering if there's anythin that can be done.
    Thanks
    Kate

    <FONT color=#ff6600>Okay, well, I got mine from my dad for Christmas, and it's locked up a few times. My friend helped me get 48 songs on it, and it was MUCH easier when I used the Windows Media Player. Truthfully, I didn't know what I was doing when I was doing the Creative Media Source. That's Just what works for me.

  • Scared about Zen micro

    ok, just bought a new zen micro 4gb player...im at work now, and "he" is actually at home charging at my home pc.....
    so,
    st: is it bad that he?s at home (alone, snif snif) charging for 0 hours?
    2nd: Everyone on this forum apparently have problems with the player, so....i guess i made a bad choice? low batery life......etc etc etc...
    sinf snif snif...(but he?s very beautifull!)

    You should of bought a Zen MicroPhoto instead of the old model, it fixed the few things that were bad about the Zen Micro and you have double memory! Not all the Micros are defecti've though, you might be the lucky owner of a perfect one. GL !

  • Some questions about Zen Micro before to buy

    Hi all, i'm thinking to buy a Zen Micro mp3 player, so i'm searching for the Web reviews and news about the Micro to understand if it is good for me, because about 250 euro is an important money amuont to spend for me.
    And now i have 2 doubts:
    ) I have read that firmware "ZenMicro_PCFW_L4_2_00_2_MTP.exe" can freeze the Micro or to make Windows Xp does not recognise it. Is it real?
    2) Will Zen Micro support the "mp3 pro" format in future firmware updates? It think "mp3 pro" is fantastic and has much more audio quality than wma o normal mp3 in very less space on disk.
    Thanks to all people who will answer to me, excuse me for my imperfect english_
    archigius

    Archigius,
    I have installed the version 2 firmware on several players and have yet to have run into any problems. I know there are people who have experienced them, but I think that the probability of this is low. Here are some suggestions on making sure it will work:
    ) Disable your antivirus before running the update. This really applies to all dri've/firmware updates.
    2) Turn off all of your player related software.
    3) Make sure you have Windows Media Player 0 and SP or higher installed
    This is all you should have to do to make sure things go well.

  • Zen Micro Headphone jack, out of warre

    Hi there
    I have a zen micro that I got last year from someone, without a receipt. Recently I got the headphone jack problem that everyone has been getting. I emailed customer support about this and they emailed me back saying this:
    "Based upon the age of your product, it appears that you are beyond our
    complementary email and telephone support period as outlined below.
    If it is verified to be a hardware issue, you may contact the Creative
    Tutor support line below to check for the replacement cost or to request
    a RMA for your product.
    3. You are welcome to purchase a Creative Tutor session to receive
    expert help and advice from a Technical Advisor by phone. Each Creative

    Is this my only option? To spend money to call them withotu really even knowing what can be done about this?
    Does Creative not help out people at all unfortunate enough to own a product that seems to have a manufacturing defect (based on the number of posts about this problem)
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    i recently got my micro replaced at best buy after it had the headphone jack issue, and my new one is having the same problem. I'm pretty sure best buy gyped me though because they gave me a micro that was sitting out on a table like it was used or something. Since this was within the last 3 months am i able to mail my micro in to creative to get one of the new, hopefully fixed, ones for free? It's soooo frustrating because i love the micro but the stupid head phone jack just makes me want to strangle it.

  • Thinking about becoming a Creative Zen Micro users, BU

    I am looking for the Creative Zen Micro Photo that I saw announced on Cnet.com. This product is suppose to be the upgrade to the creative zen micro, but it will now have a COLOR screen. Does anyone know when it will be available, and how much it will cost? On cnet.com they said Quarter 2, which we are currently in.
    Here is a link to the product:

  • Zen Micro - Does Creative care about making their product work or can someone help

    My patience for Creative has just about run out. I am hoping someone can help me because obviously Creative cannot. I bought this Zen Micro in 2005. From the very first day I had problems. I bought it for use with Napster (which I have never had any problems with).
    Back then, I had free telephone support, which I no longer have. I guess Creative realized how long they'd be on the phone with everyone since their products need constant technical support. Anyway, they told me that their software was only BETA for Napster. I never would have purchased it if I had known this. My original problems were that if I shut off the player, I would lose everything I had transferred to it. I believe that updates since then have fixed it. I also learned how to avoid this - I locked the device and let it go into idle shutdown. This would allow the device to start up normally next time.
    My problems now are as follows. It STILL (two years later) is freezing if I try to transfer more than 5 or 6 tracks. Freezes with no way to fix it unless you unplug it while it's docked. I had to pull out the battery to get it to restart. Now it's lost all my playlists (although the songs are still there) and if I play a song, all the information is gone. You can hear the song but the screen just says something about going to play mode to play a song - while the song is playing. Also, my computer is now not recognizing that the player is connected so I can't get it to connect to Napster to even try to re-start my transfers. I've rebooted the computer and the player. Now I have no idea what to do. I tried to update the driver from Creative but if the computer isn't noticing it's connected, now can I get it to update?
    I will never, ever buy a Creative again. But for now, can anyone help me?

    I did not post "rulezbecca" just replied to it. I have the same problem though.
    I posted this to get the attention of, maybe, a Creative tech who might be reading some of the posts.
    I have upgraded most of the computer software, firmware, hardware, and other periferals at some time or another with out this much trouble.
    The main problem is that after part of the firmware has been loaded the micro hangs and the computer wants me to install a driver so it can communicate with the micro via the USB port, that same port it was using just prior to do the firmware download. Now the micro can not connect via the USB port in this computer or any other computer I try.
    How can I get this situation resolved? I have read other posts and tried the suggested actions but none worked with my first micro and I don't want to put this one in the same locked out state.

  • Just 5 questions about the Zen Micro Ph

    HiJust 5 Q's about that player which i hope i get clear answers 4 'emcan i buy the charger designed for the original Zen Micro 2 be used with this player? if not, is there an additional charger i can buy ?2) How much time it takes the player 2 charge from the USB port and how much does it take in case of using a charger?3) Can i simply plug the player in my PC's USB and boot up windows XP 2 see the player simply as an additional dri've without the need of any special drivers or programs so that i transfer files between my PC and the player with simple drag and dropping4) Can i transfer non-media files (books - programs...etc) using the same method in question 3 without having 2 set up first a dedicated space on the player 4 receiving such files (<--- This is the way which has 2 be done with the old Zen Micros)5) Any dedicated volume control on it yet or it still misses it like old Zen Micros ?THANKS A LOT

    Hi Catherina - thx 4 the reply but yr answer implies that the old Zen Micro can be seen in windows explorer directly as an additonal dri've and this contradicts all the reviews i have read about that in order to transfer non-media files to the player, i have 2 either use the bundled program "Zen Media Explorer" or the firmware itself (in case i am not allowed 2 install software on some computer i wanna transfer files from or to) but i was speaking about plugging the player simply in the USB to be detected by XP, assigned to it a dri've letter and then i can start copying files from/to it right away without any additional extra software installed or anything i must configure on the player itself. IMHO, this is how the MP3 players should behave 4 extra simplicity and ease of use
    SUGGESTION: can u plz make video clips showing how 2 use the player in all aspects. I have seen that with the iri'ver players where some people (i am not sure if those people are the guys @ iri'ver themselves or just some fans) have posted numerous video clips showing the iri'ver player in all aspects so the end user like me feel like he is using the player in his hands even if he/she hasn't purchased it yet - something that will be very effecti've on people's decision purchase. Wish to see video clips showing all aspects of the Zen Micro player and may be other players
    Here is the site i was talking about: www.misticri'ver.net

  • [Zen Micro]Questions about the Firmw

    Hello,
    I have some questions about the firmware of the Zen Micro
    . Can I use the Zen Micro without any Software (MediaSource?) on my PC (winXP) when im using the Firmware Creative Zen Micro *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00.2 ? This means that i copy my Music only by drag&drop from the Explorer after my Computer has detected the Zen Micro as a Removable Disk!
    2. I know that the Zen Micro has two parts with the Normal Firmware. The "Removable Disk" Part and the "Playable" Part which can only used by the Software! But what happens if my . question is right. How can i seperate this two parts?
    Thanks for answers

    I don't have the 2.x firmware, but I think I'm correct in saying this :
    with the 2.x firmware, your Micro becomes an MTP compatible device, which can be recognized on PCs having an MTP compatible OS (operating system). For the moment, the only OS that fits the bill to my knowledge, is Win XP with Windows Media Player 0. In this combination of MTP device + MTP OS, you don't need to install other drivers, and you can do drag and drop
    BUT ! The 2.x firmware doesn't make your device a "removable disc" in the traditional sense of the word. It doesn't become a file system, like a USB memory stick.
    I hope I was clear enough to see the difference :-)Message Edited by fred_be9300 on 04-03-2005 02:52 AM

  • Questions about the zen micro leather case???

    hey everyone,
    i saw the pictures of the zen micro leather case in the US store and was going to get them until i heard that the case is quite useless and annoying with the two-way flap open. Do you still think i should get them or a diiferent one(im DESPERATE to get one!!)
    thanks everyone.

    There are several designs out there including... the flexi-skin (at Boxwave.com as well as eBay), Noreve's, Krussell's?and Vaja. It really comes down to what you want from a case. I've gone for a flexi-skin as I want easy access to the controls, and I kept my screen protector (but screen protectors are easy enough to buy).

  • Q about the Zen Micro FM tu

    Hi!
    I know that the FM frequencies in the states are different from the fequencies in europe. My question is this: if I were to buy a Zen micro in the united states and then bring it to Israel, is there a way to update the player to european tunning?
    0x alot for any help.

    Are they different? I thought it was just Asia that had different frequencies, at least those are the two regions I remember seeing on the Micro, which you *can* change.

  • Another question about the Zen Micro Firmware Upgr

    I have just successfully installed the Creative Zen Micro Firmware .02.05 on my 5GB Zen Micro but I have a question regarding Windows Media Player. The Set up Sync button and some of the properties still appeared greyed out. I thought the upgrade would solve that problem.

  • I cannot load my Zen Micro any longer (warrant

    I hop you understand what I'm write because I am not the best in English:
    Before approx. .5 years I bought a MP3-Player (Zen Micro). But now I cannot load it any longer and this is not because of the cable!
    Sinc 2002 in Germany all manufacturers of technology must promise a warranty of 2 years but the shop has said Creative gives only one year warranty and therefore they do not repair it.
    what can I do?
    In German:
    ich hab jetzt meinen MP3-Player (Zen Micro) seit ca. ,5 Jahre. Hin und wieder l?d er nicht und reagiert nicht, wenn ich ihn an den PC anstecke. ich habe schon andere Kabel benutzt. an den kabeln liegt es nicht!
    jetzt aber meine eigentliche frage: seit 2002 ist in Deutschland eine verpflichtende Garantie/Gew?hrleistung von min. 2 jahren auf Technische Ger?te gesetzlich festgelegt worden!
    Der Laden in dem ich das Ger?t vor ,5 Jahren gekauft habe verweigert aber die R?cknahme, da er sagt, dass Creative nur Jahr diesen Service ausf?hrt!
    Stimmt das und was kann ich tun?Message Edited by michig on 03-3-200705:40 AM

    Nicht Garantie und Gew?hrleistung verwechseln, das sind zwei paar Schuhe.
    Die Garantie ist eine freiwillige Leistung des Herstellers.
    Die (gesetzlich vorgeschriebene) Gew?hrleistung betrifft den H?ndler. Auf dem Papier zwei Jahre, ja, allerdings wird nach 6 Monaten die Beweislast umgekehrt. Das hei?t du mu?t dem H?ndler nachweisen (Gutachten etc., f?r das Geld allein bekommst du wahrscheinlich schon ein dreimal besseres Neuger?t), da? der Mangel bereits beim Kauf vorlag/angelegt war.
