Hi, I stopped using this MP3 for about 2 or so years because I bought a new one.

I can't get it to start up without plugging it into a power outlet. I think it has rechargable battery? Why didn't it recharge itself?
My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
Thanks in advance!
The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage.

Creative Zen Vision M Vista Problem(s

I have recently purchased a creative zen vision M and its a great player. However I am having problems with vista ultimate 64 bit edition, it seems everytime I connect my player it stalls the player (it locks on the dock screen) meaning I cant access files on the player. I have the lates creative media source , play for sure plugins and the latest firmware (it dident stall before I put the latest firmware on)
THe player docks fine on my spare Windows XP machine, but it would be nice to have it dock with my primary machine which is sadly vista :P lol
Any advice/comments ?
Thanks

here try this, work for melink

Firmware Problem Creative Zen Vision : M 30

Hello
I switched my Creative Zen Vision : M 30gb on today to find a firmware problem screen.
I tried to dock it with my PC but it was not working.
Tried using the reset button but it doesnt work
Tried going into recovery mode to reload the firmware but when i try to put the update on its says my player is not connected.
I tried using the MP3 recovry tool which recognizes my player but then when it tries to install the firmware it says it is not connected.
The firmware it is trying to put on says it for the 60gb model, would this stop it from reconizing my player?
It says it for a DVP-HD0004 but on the back of mine it says it is a DVP-HD0003
Could anyone find the right software because i cant find it's
Michael

The first step is to do a cleanup >reboot on the player if that don't work? then while connected uninstall thru Device Manager,reboot computer then plugin to have Windows find & reinstall the player, if that? doesn't work then format,cleanup>reboot player to see if that solves the problem. loosing files is a last resort . Whatever you do DO NOT choose RELOAD FIRMWARE as you don't have recognition from the computer & can not reload it. RELOAD firmware ERASES the firmware making the player useless until it can be reloaded. Link for resue/recovery access on player? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

Creative Zen Vision M Display Problems

I purchased a Creative Zen Vision M MP3 player around 2-3 years ago and it's been great so far. I've even bought most of the accessories for it!
I switched it on today and found that there was a problem with the display - it's gone taint and there are stripey lines across it. Any idea what this might be?
I've tried to reset it and plugged it into the television through the AV function and it displays just fine on the television.
I've sent off an e-mail to Creative but just wondered if anyone has experienced something similar? And if so, how did you get it working again?
Many thanks,
Dan

Replace the screen that is a hardware problem. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...n%3D4%26ps%3D0? Here is a source to purchase a new one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Drkr...e=channel_page? & a video to dismantle the player.

Creative Zen Vision M:30Gb freeze problem skipping between tracks

Hi guys,
I bought my Zen Vision M:30GB 2 years ago. It was a regenerated model by Creative.
I'm fully satisfied of this product, i think the best of his category, but It has this problem since two years...Sometimes when i skip between mp3s (especially in random mode) it freezes and remains on the screen of current mp3, blocked...even I try to touch all buttons it doesn't unblock and i have to reset with a clip in the reset hole.
I've noticed that this problem comes especially when i use random mode of entire library (about 4000 songs) or however with a long playlist...it doesn't happen when i listen a single album (about 20 mp3s in playlist)
Sincerely i'm a little bored ...
I tried to do some clean and format up by the system menu, but the problem persists...
I've also thinked the problem could be because there are in library mp3 with variant bitrate...or a physical problem (I hope not)
What do you think of?
Thanks for help!

Creative Zen Vision: M 30 gb - DRM information corrupt or missing.....???????

So I just started having this problem yesterday but it seem I'm the only ever to have it. I've scanned every page I can and can't find a solution. Yesterday I started playing my music then all of the sudden it stopped. Granted I was having problems before even though I just got this unit a month..........! I sent an email and still haven't received a response.
Here's the problem. While listening to my music yesterday I encountered a message saying - Playback Error. This error persisted after changing the track. After going home and reformatting, reinstalling firmware, downgrading -> upgrading firmware, reformatting over and over and over again, disk clean up, system restore, reboots, default restore, reformatting, again reformatting, deleting every piece of information I could delete...... you might be getting the picture so far.... After doing all of this I was unable to download tracks again onto my MP3 player. The only ones I can upload are unprotected content. I got thinking maybe there is a problem in my DRM file..... Where is my DRM file on the MP3 player and how do I delete it's You can't. At least not what I found. So again I tried everything over and over again and nothing works. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. I have a 30gb Creative Zen Vision: M player, Windows XP/Vista 64, Napster ToGo and now I can't use my MP3. This unit is a month old and I cannot use it. PLEASE HELP ME. This is very long winded but I'm hoping this will help a little. Thanks in advance, I'm going insane without my music.

Well I have never used a service like that. That's all I can think of off hand.

Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Creative Zen Vision M out of stock in Cana

Hello guys,
Just wondering whether there is any place where there is Creative Zen Vision M MP3 players, I have ordered with Dell and they have promised me that it is coming "soon" several times . Futureshop is out of stock, so as BestBuy. What happened to all the stock in Canada? When are we expecting them to come out again? Thanks!Message Edited by zhuanyi on 06-2-2006 0:53 AM

I got mine yesterday in So Cal at Frys Electronic. They had all the colors..... I had the same problem. I called Creatri've and they told me they did'nt think they would sell so many. Sounds like the place I work for LOL. Lets see you will best of show at CES and you don't think you will sell a tun? I wanted to buy from the creative store but they have been out for a long time. I think they have them now.

Creative Zen Vision M

C I have had this player in the past and fell in love with it. I actually had two..both died...my own fault..long story. But anywho.... I know that Creative has them for sale refurbished. I really miss my Mp3 player...have not had one since January. I use my psp for my music. I was wondering if it would be a smart idea to buy one refurbished or not? I would rather buy one on here than any other place. Just looking for input. Thank you for any help in [email protected]

The ones my friends &I purchased a couple years ago were essentially new. They did not look used & I have never had any problems or issues with mine. Not even a freeze-up.My battery is still lasts a long time. I love it. I've repaired my friends players for them but that's another story.

Creative Zen vision M 30 GB MP3 player does not resp

My Creative Zen vision M 30 GB MP3 player stopped working. It does not turn on, does not charge, does not respond to anything. Is the battery dead or what would be the problem. Please help.

There are a multitude of problems that could be causing your player to exhibit this behavior in addition to battery failure, including the failure of the main logic board. If the player has been dropped a few times, exposed to excessi've heat, or high humidity/water, the problem might not be the battery. On the other hand, if the battery has been allowed to fully exhaust on a regular basis and left uncharged for long periods, it is possible that the battery could be dead, but LIon batteries usually last at least 2-3 years with regular use and normal recharging practices if they haven't been abused.

Creative zen vision navigat

Creative zen vision
firmware .40.03
problem: i cant use my navigation buttons (so buttons on right side of my zen vision)
and when i remove battery it doesnt help instal new firmware neither go in recover mode.. its working only thing... navigation doesnt work so useless...
so basicly everything worx i guess only my navigation doesnt so i cant do anyting atm
i have read faq and searched forum but nothing specifik for this problem
Message Edited by skeevn on 04--2008 07:43 PM

That sounds like an electrical or electomechanical problem with the player. Since the Zen Vision has been long since discontinued, you probably can't get Creative to repair it, but you might want to seek out some of the third party repair businesses that might be able to restore it to original functionality.

Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging

(Creative Zen Vision M not fully charging( Hi, I recently bought a refurbished ZVM that doesnt seem to charging properly. When I first got it, it hadnt been charged in quite some time so the battery was overdead. My PC couldnt detect it when I connected it via usb and it didnt even start charging at all. I then connected it to a wall charger and it finally started charging. The strange thing is it never fully charges. I've charged it twice now, both times for at least about 2 hours, and the battery doesnt go more than 50%. And when I connect it to my PC to transfer songs, instead of resuming its charge, my battery runs out. Is this a case of a faulty battery? I li've in Australia and I bought it from the USA. I would prefer not to go through the trouble of returning it if I could. Anything I should do like leaving it to charge for an even longer time? Also one more thing I should mention. When I remove the wall charger and plug it back in, it takes the ZVM sometime to detect it, about 30 minutes or so, and start charging again. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. I just mailed mine in for repair today.

Zen Vision M problem (30

My mp3 was working fine, could ocnnect no problems and put videos and music on it ect, then all of the sudden one day i turned it on and it told me i had to rebuild it, i didn't think much of it cause this had occasionally happened to me before..i let it rebuild and i went to look for a specific song and it was gone, i looked for other recent songs i had added from the same artist and cd and they were gone too, along with some other songs. everytime i turned it on from there i got a rebuilding thing, then i tried to watcha? video about a week later and in my list of videos it said thata ll my folders had 0 files in it, but when i went to system info, it said i still had like 25 gigs or so of space taken up from all the videos, but it still had the oflders and info, but no video. when i connect my mp3 player to my PC, it days it is docked and connected, it charges, but my PC will not recognice it. i tried it on my other computer too which i installed the software on when i got it and it would not connect there either. basicly i cant connect my player to add new music/videos, all my videos are what seems to be corrupt, music randomly gets deleted, and i have to "rebuild" everytime i turn on my player. i tried the recovery program today but that too would not detect my player, and people told me when you hold down the reset button you can go into a recovery mode or something and that does not work either...what should i do? is there a way to fix this? or am i screwed and i just need to go get an ipod or something?
