Battery Lid for Creative Zen Nano Pl

I have bought two Zen Nano Plus (gb) mp3 players two months ago.
Unfortunately the battery lid broke on both of them. I was able to find that
this is the common problem problem with this player:
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ead.php?p=7744
Besides this problem, the player itself is fantastic.
I have tried to find the lid at the local dealer but they to not have them.
Is it possible to order the battery lid somehow - I am in Croatia, Europe?
Also another question - will there be in the near future be another upgrade of the Zen model (like that was Zen for Muvo) - if that one will have better battery lid I am interested thent o buy that one in the future too?
I hope that lid will be redisigned.
Any answer will be very appreciated.

If you have broken two?covers, then I suppect you are a hard user.
Yes I am using players very often. I am listening daily?radio shows for a few hours and then I?am writing analysis and reviews of those shows.
If careful, they don't break. We have six of them here at my house?with no cover?breakage. The only one I gave as a gift, now has a broken tab. That owner just jamed the cover in place, so it was no surprise when it broke.
I think I am using the player normal and in daily situation - walking, in the bus etc... I have been able to find many examples of broken lid for Nano Plus that are available here:

Don't think that Creative is going to redesign the cover at this late date.
Well I didn't mean in the sense of re-design but in a sense of a new model that will upgrade Nano Plus. If new model will have better battery lid I would immediately transfer to another new and fresh model.
What is the current status of Nano Plus anyway? Has that model been replaced by any other new-upgraded model in the mean time?

I've lost the battery lid of my ZEN NANO PLUS (black). There's a way to have it's I li've in Pisa (ITALY) and the shop where i bought the MP3Player (MEDIA WORLD) said me that thay have no a direct contact with you.
I very care about it cause it was a present.
Thanks for the answer.

Ho perso il coperchietto della batteria del mio ZEN NANO PLUS nero.
C'? un modo per averlo? Vivo a PISA e il negozio dove l'ho comprato (Media World) mi ha detto che non ha un contatto diretto con voi. Ci terrei molto a trovarlo dato che il lettore era un regalo. Grazie.

Belt clip for Creative Zen Nano Plu

Do Creative sell a Belt clip for the Zen Nano Plus ? If so where and if not where else might I get one ? I think its a great MP3 player but perhaps a bit on the flimsy side when I go jogging so would prefer an extra bit of protection. I used to have a Muvo N200 which is exactly the same size as the nano plus which came with a belt clip as standard.

Try this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=2600334793 not sure if it's used (says "sold as is") but better than my battery falling out (broken cover :angry: ) everytime I go to the gym Message Edited by pokem02 on 07-30-2006 07:34 AM

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for administra

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for the administrator account; for other users the message "The Zen Nano Plus is not connected. Please connect your Zen Nano Plus to the computer." is displayed, but it *is* connected and works under other programs.
Version is .0.03.
Thanks for any assistance.

How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

Faulty Creative Zen Nano Plus Battery Co

Hello. I am new in this forum.
I bought a Creative Zen Nano Plus MP3 Player from the IT show in March this year and 3 months later, the tip of the Battery Cover CRACKS and now the Battery Cover cannot be fixed back to the MP3 Player.
Anyone here has SIMILAR EXPERIENCE with me?
I went down to CREATIVE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK to buy the Battery Cover but was told it was OUT OF STOCK and I need to wait. Does the CREATIVE MARINA SQUARE has a Customer Care Centre where I can purchase the Battery Cover? Hear from anyone in the forum again. Thanks

Yes, this is quite a common occurence on the Nano, Nano Plus and N200 as the catch is very flimsy. The one on the V200 seems sturdier.
An email to Support in your region should do the trick - in Europe they sent me one straight back in the post.

Creative Zen Nano 1GB - Firmw

Hi,
I am using creative zen nano GB player. In downloads sections i can't abt to find the firmware for "zen nano GB". Can any one tell where we can get firmware for "Zen Nano GB" firmware. Thanks in advance. Bala

The Nano Plus works fine with AAA nimh rechargeable batteries. The great thing about a player that uses a AAA battery is that AAA nimh rechargeables are inexpensi've, and most chargers will charge up to 4 batteries at a time. A charger and 4 AAA nimh batteries is only around $20. When a battery runs out of power just replace it with a charged one. If someone has a player with a built in battery, then when the battery power is exhausted, they can't listen to music until the player is recharged.

Creative Zen Nano Plus won't turn on!!!!Please h

For some reason, my 256MB Creative Zen Nano Plus that I've only had for three months has suddenly failed to turn on. I have changed the battery several times so I know it isnt that, but when?I press the power button, the 'creative' logo comes up for about 2 seconds with the blue backlight before switching itself off. When I plug my player in my creative media organiser on my computer through the USB though, it connects absolutely fine and I can upload my media files, its just literally turning it on that is such a problem. I can't explain why its doing this, the only thing I'm thinking of is that it was in my handbag for about 6 weeks without being touched so I'm not sure if something in my bag could've damaged it's But I'm worried because I'm not sure if my player is under warranty as?I don't have the warranty sticker on the back of, only a number and a bar code?Can anyone possibly help as I've been everywhere to try and get it fixed but no one knows whats wrong!?Thank you?Laura.

Can you still connect your player to your PC? If so then you can reload the firmware. Go to the Support, Downloads page for the Nano Plus and download the firmware from there. Make sure you click on the Show Details link as that explains how to carry out the reload.

Creative Zen Nano player does not p

My Creative Zen Nano is getting power on, but it does not play the music. I have many music files and those files have been played for long time, but now they are not playing. When I checked the contents of the player using my PC, the folders are shown as .exe files. Could you please let me know how to correct the player, so that it could play the files. Thanks in advance.

Not work SORT files : Genres--> Artists--> Albums. (SORT by ID3 tags ?)

Has anyone managed to change the battery in a creative Zen MX

=i bought a 6gb zen MX? in November 2007 and have used it every day since. The battery is now in a sorry state and doesn't hold a charge for more than about 4 hours. After fully charging it, if you then leave it overnight the battery almost totally depletes. The battery is definitely a goner. Has anyone opened one of these players, changed the battery and then got the thing back together successfully? I've looked around on the net but can't find any info on how i might open the player to insert a new battery. Meanwhile i've bought a new Creative ZenMX but i prefer the old one with its dedicated slider for on/off and lock and it would be great if i could somehow get a new battery into it.
I still have my old Ceati've Zen Jukeboxes (30gb and 60gb) and i wore a couple of batteries out in those. But all you had to do was open the player and shove in a new battery. Shame that facility no longer exists in Creative's MP3 players.
Any help on the issue of replacing the battery in an MX would be much appreciated.

Re: has anyone managed to change the battery in a creative Zen MX%Thanks for the links Bertwin, much appreciated.
Now i have a problem in obtaining a replacement battery. Back in the day you could phone Creative (in Ireland) and order replacement batteries but alas, no longer. On the net you can easily find replacement batteries for every Creative player.....except for the Zen MX. ? The replacement x-fi battery looks similar? and has the same wire connections but it is 3.7v as opposed to 3.6v in the MX. Also the x-fi battery is rated at? 550mAh while the MX is rated at 0.55AH. (Though i guess that could mean they are the same capacity only it's written differently)
The Creative part number for the MX battery is BAC0603R79925 and the Creative Model No is : LPC6333445
If anyone knows where to obtain this battery please post.

Date of "Battery Birth" of Creative Zen Flash MP3 playe

Date of Battery Birth of Creative Zen Flash MP3 players.
Your Zen Lithium_Ion Polymer Battery lifespan is ~ 2-3 years OR the number of discharges/charges cycles -
approximately ~ 300-500 cycles max. Whichever comes first will degrade the charging capacity of the
Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery. Keep in mind, the Lithium-Ion life span begins "aging" from the time of
manufacturing of the battery!
Translation: If you bought a Creative Zen from Walmart,Target, Circuit City or Radio Shack, your battery
lifespan begins when the battery was manufactured by SK Mobile Energy (You don't know the manufacturing
date). If it was on the Walmart shelf for 2 years (You don't know this) Then, by the time you bought the Zen MP3
player your battery "shelf life" and battery charging capacity is gone!?
It would be very "consumer friendly" if Creative would show on the LCD display under the system/information
screen the EXACT birth/manufacture date of the Lithium-Ion battery and the number of discharges/charges
(300-500 max?) the battery has been through. After all, Creative manufactures the Zen and solders
in the "non-user replaceable battery" and they know the exact date of when the battery was manufactured. By
doing this, this would prevent "shady vendors" or third parties from "pulling the wool" over unsuspecting
consumers eyes. A firmware change would be in order.
Also, they should put a 0-00% battery capacity in numerical numbers near the battery symbol.
Keep in mind, the battery discharge rate and battery symbol is non-linear.
If Creative doesn't want to do this firmware change maybe they should do the following:
Have just only a Lithium-Ion Polymer battery warranty (not just the player warranty)? to protect the end users from too long shelf life of a battery.
Ref. Links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th...ithium_battery
A unique drawback of the Li-ion battery is that its life span is dependent upon aging from time of
manufacturing (shelf life) regardless of whether it was charged, and not just on the number of
charge/discharge cycles. So an older battery will not last as long as a new battery due solely to its age, unlike
other batteries. This drawback is not widely published.[3]
DRM? DVD Copy? Music Copying.

I don't know the internal workings of the Zen Lithium-ion charging circuit but you should be able to use your
Zen player just like a laptop plugged into the wall.
Once the charging circuit sees a certain charge voltage on the battery it should shut down or go to a float mode.
(added this)?
Allow the battery to completely discharge from time-to-time then recharge it fully.
From the link:
http://www.omnica.com/omniview_electronics2.htm
Regarding lithium-ion shelf life, one of our engineers recently met with a battery-house representati've. It has come to their attention that repeated charging and re-charging of a less than fully discharged Li-ion cell affects the battery "gas gauge" included with many devices. Over a number of cycles there is a resultant loss in accuracy. Frequently, the indicated remaining charge has little relationship to the actual amount of life left in the cell! Fortunately, according to the battery expert, the gauge will reset itself if the battery is allowed to completely discharge from time-to-time.

My Creative Zen Nano Plus bro

my Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player stopped working after i dropped the mechanical part. When I checked it, I didn't see any chip marks or anything, but still it won't work. Can anyone help me? I'll post up pictures if u need me too, and I'll show how it broke.

"I found out the hard way that for it to be able to charge by USB on a computer, the software has to be installed which I think is pretty retarded. You should definitely pick up a charger cause it's a lot faster to charge and more convenient. " -- some guy who reviewed the mp3 player
i cant find where this other guy who said like the same thing
They must have been talking about a different player such as the Zen Micro which does recharge via the USB port.

Creative Zen Nano and Musicma

I won some downloads. They are from Musicmatch. I have winodws 98SE. I downloaded the free jukebox. I downloaded a few songs with no problem. I just received a Creative Zen Nano. I installed the software for it. I transferred those songs to the player with no problem. When I tried downloading more songs on Musicmatch it showed that the download was complete, but then it gave me a software error message. It showed that I purchased the downloads, but they did not show up in my playlist. I don't know what the problem is. Do you think it is conflicting with the creative software? Should I uninstall part of it's I had no problem downloading before I installed the Creative software. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

I went ahead and updated it anyway. One little thing I noticed was now the volume only goes up to 25 like my Zen Touch instead of 40 or whatever that it did before. Same loudness, different numbers only. Other than that, I have not noticed anything different, but it seemed to work OK scrolling through a song with the old firmware. I did not, obviously, do a detailed comparison.
