Cost of replacing a Zen 20GB scr

Hey guys,
I've recently crushed my mp3 player, an old Creative Zen 20GB, and had the screen smashed, it's all black now ! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with sending their mp3 players to repair their screens before, any idea how much something like this would cost in singapore dollars? I don't want to spend a hundred bucks to repair a 2 year old mp3 player. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would presume that the cost of replacement is just the normal cost of the phone - but there is no information to confirm this - that is why I'm a little unclear.
The reason for wanting to know is so I can decide on whether it's worth considering insurance, cases etc. If it's simply a case of buying another iPhone then fair enough - if it turns out that you cannot buy another iPhone without signing up to an additional contract (and so paying two lots of £35 per month) or paying vastly more than the initial purchase price for a replacement, then I would be far more concerned about protecting my iPhone.
Really it's a balance between cost of insurance vs risking it, and the bulkiness and inconvenience of using a case vs increased risk of damage.

  • Zen 20GB battery replacement

    I bought a replacement battery (from Hong Kong) and installed it. The Zen started up and immediately shut off. I presume that the battery needs charging but when I plugged in the Zen the little icon for the plug went on not the charging icon. I am going to charge it overnight but do I need to do some kind of general reset or something else? I had to buy a third party battery as I could not find the battery here in the US. Is there an official Creative battery available somewhere other than the US?

    Hi Majo603,
    Are you referring to Creative Zen 20GB with model number HD-005. If it is,I'm afraid you cannot purchase a replacement battery for this kind of unit. It is basically,attached to the unit and we're not selling it separately.

  • Anyone know where I can get Creative zen 20gb firmware downl

  • Zen 20gb poorly after fall, ide

    Dropped it!Very unhappy at first. PC wouldn't find it on connection. Couldn't load library etc.Re-formatted etc. and tried everything possible. It is now found by PC but won't let me transfer anything ('failed' message). I suspect this means the end, but before it goes to the MP3 graveyard I'd like to check that I have exhausted every option. Any suggestions Otherwise, is it worth getting repaired I don't know where to go for this as the Creative site only seems to mention warranty repairs. I li've in Nottingham UK. I love it and the 20gb storage is great (I only use it for music). The newer Zen players either don't have as much storage or do a lot more than I need (for more money). Also, it was a special birthday pressie. Thanks Nick

    The problem with harddisk player is the harddisk itself which is very fragile especially if the unit is on. When the player is dropped, it would be enough to damage the disk platter. When you shake the player, do you hear any sound which should not be there ?
    As for replacement harddisk, you are pretty much on your own when it comes to replacing it. Before rushing out to getting a replacement harddisk, you might want to see if you can open the unit. Firstly, I am not sure what type of harddisk they use and it could be the IDE or the ZIF interface. And I am not sure if a replacement dri've of that capacity is available for sale in the open market.
    I guess you can try asking Creative support but I doubt they would provide you with any information as to dissassembly the unit. It would probably be enough to void the warranty but I would think that the warranty period is probably long gone by now.
    I know the harddisk mp3 playe are great value for money but they are fragile and any slightest force against it may damage it. That is probably why Creative is moving away from harddisk players.
    In the end, you might be better off with a new flash-memory player. I have the Zen 20gb myself and I understand how you feel about it. It looks ugly but it just plays music great. I really do not want to lose mine.

  • How much does it cost to replace the lid of a MBP 13"?

    Hi,
    I've got myself a Macbook Pro 13" (Mid-2009) that has got a fair few scratches in one corner and some noticeable dents on the lid. The top and bottom casing are all new after getting it repaired under AppleCare.
    I was wondering how much the lid would cost to replace (so my whole casing is in tip-top condition) and whether that includes the LCD as well. I know its going to be expensive and have already explored ifixit.com and other vendors for fixing it on the Internet and I'm not fond of just buying a case like a hardshell just to cover it up.
    So if anyone has had it done by Apple or knows roughly how much it would cost to replace then that would be great!
    Thanks

    I can tell you this, Apple will be the most expensive choice, but you'd have to make a genius bar appointment to get a price. Also, look here:

  • Cost of replacing a broken or stolen iPhone?

    I'm planning to buy the iPhone when it comes out on O2 in the UK, but I'm a little unclear about whether the cost of the iPhone itself is subsidised or just a standard purchase.
    In the UK it's common to get a phone free or cheap when taking out a contract. If the phone gets damaged or stolen, then the cost of buying a replacement (if it's not insured) is substantially more than the original price.
    Does anyone know what the situation is with the iPhone - anyone using AT&T had such an incident? Can you go out and buy another iPhone and carry on using it with your existing contract, or do you have to pay a higher price for a replacement.
    Along a similar line, if Apple were to bring out a better version of the iPhone in future, would existing customers have to wait for their contracts to end before getting the upgrade, or could they simply buy the new phone and continue with their existing iPhone tarriff?

  • Cost of replacing hard drive on my powerbook G4

    I bought my powerbook about 2 years ago and to be honest, have loved it a lot. Today after a coffee break, I sat to work on my PB and it was very slow...then began a host of problems which have ended with it not starting up. I have done disk utility tests which found a problem with my hard drive that it couldn't repair. I am also unable to reinstall OS. A hardware test revealed that there is an error with my hard drive. My important documents have been backed up so am not too upset about that but I don't want to spend heaps of cash getting it repaired. For those Aussies out there, would anybody know the approximate cost of replacing the hard drive? Would it be cheaper to buy the HDD myself and try to replace it myself. I could get the IT guys from where I work to replace it. And yes, my PB is out of warranty! Also, should I aim to replace this HDD with the same one thats now busted, or should I replace it with a better one. Apart from increased space, what other benefits would an upgraded HDD give me (I have a 60 GB hard drive, 1.33 GHz).

    miabbate
    My sentiments are very similar to Matt's, though my hard drive experiences have tended to be with either Seagate or Hitachi products. Generally I would also agree that another Toshiba drive is to be avoided.
    For cache, it is always better to go for more - minimum of 8MB. As a very broad indication of what to purchase, something along the lines of 8MB, 5400RPM, 80-120GB.
    Also be aware that not all drives are the same, even if their general specifications are the same. For example, Hitachi produce different versions of their 7200 RPM 100GB Travelstar - not only in Ultra ATA and Serial ATA versions, but also a version designed for extended power-on usage. Drives from different manufacturers may also have varying technologies built into them. Something else to consider is the length of warranty. Some manufacturers offer longer terms than others.

  • Cost of Replacing Logic Board at Apple Store

    At the current moment, my 13" macbook pro no longer recognizes the wifi hardware. Running OSX 10.10, I thought this was the root of the problem. Support helped and solved the issue but it quit the minute I hung up the phone. It is possible that I will need to replace the logic board in order to get everything working again (although I may just buy a wifi adapter) and was wondering what the cost of replacing a macbook pro 8.1 logic board is, just so I don't have a heart attack in the store. Thanks.

    Logic boards typically run $500 and up...take the the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics to determine the exact issue.  They can then quote an accurate price if physical repair is needed.
