Charger for Zen 8Gb Pla

I have an old AC charger that worked with my Zen Micro 5Gb player. Will I be able to use this same charger with my new Zen 8Gb player. I don't have the new player yet, I just ordered it.

Should work fine, I use my old Micro charger for my Zen 6gb without any problems.

Is there a wall charger for a 8GB, Nano, sixth generation?

Use almost any wall charger that plugs in like you plug your ipod to a computer.

External charger for Zen Micro batt

I just got my new Zen Micro and so far it is the best looking mp3 player I have seen but I just hope (knock on wood) tha is doesn't run into any of the issues posted. The one thing that I thought was the best feature about the Zen Micro is that I can remove the battery from the unit but to really make it usefull I should be able to have one battery in the Zen MIcro while the other is charging. This way I can have non stop tunes. Is there an external battery charger for the Zen battery?
Also, how do I know if I have an older unit that had all the problems with the headphone jacks?
One more question, when I try to pause I sometimes have to pres the pause/play button two or three times. I have the touch pad setting to medium. Should I start to worry or is this normal.
Thanks

There's no external charger. The low volume of sales will likely make it a high cost item, so Creative have presumably decided it's not worth it. If you really want you can always buy another player I'm guessing this won't be far off the likely cost of an external charger. There are some third party Lithium Ion chargers out there, but you need to have a special plate designed for the battery terminals. You'll have to Google to find them as I don't have the link to hand.
I find with pause that sometimes there's a delayed response, as if the player is busy. Wait a few seconds and try again, rather than say mashing the controls

USB charger for Zen xt

Is there a USB-port charger for the zen xtra? That'd sure be nice.

Its a pitty, considering the importance of having power connected during transfer it would be very useful indeed, but I would imagine that the strain USB ports powersupply would be to great and the unit would not charge during tranfer and possibly cause damage to the unit or the PC, most PCs only supply 500mA through there usb ports. thats just not enough.

Motorola car or wall charger for Zen Microph

We have a Zen microphoto and a zen micro, I have Motorola phones car and wall charger that have the same end that the USB cord that fits in the players have. Should these work to charge the MP3 player when not using the computer USB? When I plug one in the car it powers the player but the battery bars don't increase even after 24hrs charging. The lightning bolt shows over the battery symbol but it doesnt seem to be charging. Has anyone else been able to use these to charge their Zen. None of the strores arund here sell the proper accessories and we are going away I don't have time to wait for an online purchase to arri've.
Thanks.

Daniel,
Thank you for the reply. There is no amp info on the product ,it's packaging or hellomoto.com website but based on you response and what I'm seeing it is underpowered . I figured if they had the same tip that fit into the Zen it would work. I will order the Creative product from your website. Thanks again!

Generic Charger for Zen Micro Ph

Has anyone ever used a generic power charger for their Zen MicroPhoto Just rec'd one and
wanted to make sure it was ok to use. Thanks.

I've used both a Motorola RAZR v3 charger, and that for a Typhoon HTC (both mobile phones).
Make sure you use at least the ..0 firmware, and you might need to lock the player before connecting (although I haven't needed to).

Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

sebastiankf,
That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

Car charger for Zen To

Has anyone found a good cigarrette lighter power adapter for the zen touch?
thanks,

Creative's one, which I would recommend.
Otherwise you need to find a charger that can deli'ver 5V at .5A minimum rated current, which are a little hard to find. Sometimes PDA chargers will offer this, but I bought a 3rd party charger that was supposed to be sufficiently rated and it didn't work.

Inexpensive travel charger for Zen Mi

Hello,
$5.99 CDN is a little too much to choke down for the Creative charger! So, buy the 'AC to USB power adaptor' #49902 from Circuit City for $9.99 CDN. As long as you use the Creative USB cable that comes with the Zen, it works fine!

What type of li-ion battery charger for Zen Mic

Hi,
What type of battery charger do I need to buy for the removable li-ion battery the Zen Micro uses?

But, I want a charger!
I will buy an extra battery. So that while I am using my Micro, I can re-charge the other battery. That is why I am buying a player with a removable battery.
Problem is that Creative sells the extra batteries, but I don't see a charger listed.

External charger for Zen V p

I have a new Zen V Plus, and purchased an external USB charger from Hama. Apparently this does not work. The charging indicator does not show up, and there is no sign of increased battery charge. Is there any reason why this does not work, or is there any setting or so that can make this work? At first I thought the charger was defecti've, so I changed in a new - but the new one is no better.

It appears that the Zens are very picky with their chargers.
I have a MicroPhoto myself and I tried several different chargers as well but none worked.
I'm not sure how or why this is happening.
I think that your only option right now is to buy the charger that creative provides.

Connecting Zen 8GB for the first t

Hello All,
I've just gotten my brand new Zen 8GB. However, it doesn't seem to want to connect to the computer! I've installed the software just like in the Quick Start manual, then connected the player, but nothing happens. I suspect there are 2 causes for this:
1) The player isn't charged, and the computer won't read it. However, the player won't charge if I plug it into a wall outlet, and the computer recognizes that something is installed because....
2) The computer adds the Zen as a Human Interface Device, not an External Storage or Media Device or even Other. This has happened on 2 different computers, both with and without the software installed. Both computers are running WinXP SP2.
I've emailed back and forth with support, and they suggested I get a replacement from Amazon. However, I want this thing working now! :-P
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

If you cannot turn on the Zen without any connection to the PC then most likely the battery is flat. For the computer to recognize the Zen, it needs to have some charge. So what you can do is to plug the Zen to the PC and let it charge for at least 4 hours. Ensure that the PC does not have any energy saving features turned on during that time. Alternati'vely, if you have an external charger, you can do likewise.
With the older firmware, I find that the Zen do hang after being charged externally and the unit does not respond. If that is the case, use a safety pin and poke that little hold at the (narrow) base of the player until you hear a click. Do not poke the Mic. Then try turning on the unit again.
