  • Zen Micro Touch pad Prob

    Hey guys. I bought a Zen Micro from eBay for pretty cheap.
    I knew that it was slightly faulty which is the reason why it's so cheap.
    Basically, what's wrong with it, is that the vertical touch pad only goes one way at a time.
    EG, if i want to put the volume up, I'll scroll up but it'll go down.
    Now I thought I'd found a way to fix this, which is to push hard on the scroll pad in the direction I want to go then the scroller would be set to go that way. This isn't really practical but it does work sometimes.
    What I want to know is is there any way I can fix it permanently? I have disassembled it and taken a look around but there wasn't anything I could see that could be causing a problem because the touch pad part of the Micro is hidden behind that big metal plate.. so I can't see in there.
    Anybody else had this problem?

    I'd suggest a Zen Wired Remote. It'd be a lot easier than taking the Zen apart and trying to fix it.

  • Creative Vision:M Touch pad is

    I just bought the 60 gig vision M and the touch pad is driving me crazy. Is there any way to turn off the tap selection and have it just scroll like the Zen Touch? Also, are there any cases for the 60 gig player because I can't find any?Message Edited by Random_Hero on 2-09-20060:43 PM

    If your problem is that it selects when you are still trying to scroll you are not alone. I struggled with this a bit in the beginning (last week) as well. I tried setting the sensitivity to low which helped a little but did not solve the problem. I have adjusted how I use the touchpad by tapping the very top/bottom to scroll one item at a time which helps me a good deal. Obviously, this does not totally eliminate the problem. I wish the sensitivity could be set even lower but this will do for me for now. If you find a better solution please let us know...

  • Creative Zen Mirco 8gb fro

    Hi
    My creative zen froze about a month or two ago .. and i've been trying to get it to work... when the battery dies i plug it into the computer.. it charges but the computer doesnt detect the player so theres no way i can update firmware or anything to fix my freezing problem. The way it happened was while i was walking it changed to another song and then just froze there... so i took the battery out to turn it off thinking it would be ok, but from then on when its charged i turn it on and it freezes at the creative screen. I've come on the forums before to see how other people fixed their problems, yet all the ways they fixed their problems requires you to connect the mp3 to the computer. Also ii've tried to do that clean up that doesnt work either... please give me some suggestions or with a soultion thank you.

  • Zen Micro touch pad responsiven

    I have been having sporadic problems with the touch pad responding to my touch, at any sensitivity setting. It only happens sometimes, but happened last night when my phones were not plugged into the ZM. When I plugged the phones into my ZM, the touch pad was back to normal. Any experiences similar to this and should I just chalk up the sporadic nonresponsi'veness to the ZM just being tempermental?

    after all who uses there Micro without phones/audio output device?plugged in ?
    actualy, I use the calender funtion alot without the headphones beeing pluged in. I guess I belong to the minority who does that.
    My touchpad works great, even when the headphones aren't pluged in. something might be wrong with your touchpads but if you don't use it without the headphones pluged in, then don't worry about it.

  • Creative Zen M 30gb - Menu Prob

    I just bought a Creative Zen M 30gb. Whenever I go into a menu, I get stuck there and can't get out. The only way I can return to the main menu is to reboot. Is my player faulty or is there something I can change in the settings to cure it's Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Does this happen all the time? Perhaps you can try updating the player firmware and see if it hel

  • Zen Micro Touch pad suggest

    You know how if you hold your finger on all the way to the top or bottom, it will rapidly scroll up or down. Well it works on all of my fingers except my thumb. It put my thumb all the way up, hopping that it will scroll all the way up, but it works half the time
    Creative should know that the thumb is the one who i going to use the scroll pad. Not a big deal to me but maybe to some people

    I think it has something to do with the surface area your thumb is large compaired with your finger so when your thumb is at the top or bottom it cant tell the difference between it and a stationary finger near the top. if it would react to your thumb i believe that if you were to use another finger it would be far to reacti've and scroll when u didnt want it to.
    it does, when you scroll up or down and hold your finder at the top or botton it will rapidly scroll through the list. give it a try its useful and a feature that cant be achieved with a scroll wheel.

  • Zen Micro, touch pad stuck one one arti

    I am unable to escape from one artist which has 6 songs. No matter what category I select (FM ,most popular,play mode) when I touch >\\ it only goes back to those 6 songs. I am unable to escape. I tried to remove the battery for 0 second, turned power off then on?but it comes back to the same artist and same 6 songs. No matter what button I touch same results.

    I have exactly the same problem. Have read through all the posts etc for this and still cant find a solution. My pc doesnt recognise that my zen xtra is connected despite it being connected. The pc is running on vista and yes i know its a windows media player problem - but as yet i am unable to uninstall it. I have been going thru creative tech support who have been no help, basically saying i need to upgrade the firmware on an xp computer. Thats all well and good if i had one or knew someone that had one. So i am currently the holder of a $300+ brick, nice one creative. Surely creative must be liable for this issue?
    you can't remove/rollback wmp from a vista computer & do not attempt to do so

  • Creative Zen Micro Lock Up Prob

    Charged the Zen. Went to use it and the screen displayed "Creative" without turning it on. Unable to turn the unit on. Removed the battery a bunch of times with various results. One time it said "please wait." Another time it started working but locked up when I tried to shut it down.
    Any suggestions?

    )remove the battery
    2) Hold the power button to the left (the way u turn it one)
    3) Insert battery (still holding it to the left)

    8) if no Try Format and restart
    9) Work?
    0) If not try relod-os--BE WARNED have the firmware on ur computer so the firmware can be put back on.

  • Creative Zen vision M 30gb prob

    hi. the other day i hooked up my zen with a 3.5mm jack to twin photo lead/cable to my hifi. the sound i was getting was good, but not loud, so i started experimenting witht the leads at the back - this caused the player to turn off. there was a slight pop of a sound, but this wasn't that noticeable.
    since then, when i turn my zen on it shows the starting bit of 'creative' and 'Zen' but doesnt progress further. i've also had it on recovery mode and tried everything there and still no answer. just before the recovery mode screen appears it says something to do with the firmware, but when i try to work the firmware it cannot detect my player. nor does my media explorer detect the player - it only charges my player.
    also i think my warranty is of a year and i've had this for 8months or so. ?

    yeah i've tried the recovery tool, which tries to use the firmware and then doesn't detect the player.
    i also think i've buggered up my stereo doing this too.
    anyone?

  • Creative zen microphoto 4GB big prob

    Since a week or so, when i open the player by moving and holding the power button to on position, the only thing appear is the splash screen of creative logo and copyright 2005 and it stays there until I remove the battery, cause when I tried to close the player by holding the power button to off position for more than 30sec. nothing happened.
    Can some one had to deal with same situation ?
    Can some one help me please ?
    I forgot to mention that no computers can detect the player, even if I try with myComputer...
    I just tried the recovery tool and neither detect the player ..
    I have no clue what to do now
    And also, I'm running win xp sp2 on a desktop, and i tried every USB port on the machine.
    So lets go back in time :
    1-When I opened my player, it went directly to the recovery mode(whiteout any valuable reason).
    2-I downloaded the firmware update at that address.
    3-I tried updating (at that point the player was still recognized by at least one of my computers).
    4-The update wasn't successful (error message: the player's firmware has not been updated) in the application.
    5-Then the player came on that start screen(Creative logo).
    6-I cannot close it properly and I had to remove battery to do so.
    7-It then never restarted again.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Sincerely !
    JazzMessage Edited by jazz76 on 0-26-20070:00 PM

    There was nothing else to do !
    The player won't go on normally, it was always going to recovery mode .. That's why I did that !
    And in theory, if there's a firmware update on the company's of any player shouldn't I be trusting it ?Message Edited by jazz76 on 0-27-20072:36 AM

  • Zen Micro Touch Pad Non Functio

    I just received my new Zen Micro, and the touchpad doesnt work at all. Not only that, but he power button doesnt either. I can move it all I want, but the player doesnt turn off if its on, and doesnt turn on if its off.

    Before you contact the store or Technical Support, can you just double check for me if the lock switch is on? When locked, this will preven the unit from turning on.
