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.

  • 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

  • External Charger For the Zen Mic

    will there be an external charger for the Zen Micro? So you can always have a juiced up battery ready and willing to go? =)

    I think it's a huge inefficiency to require that the player be out of commission during the battery charging.
    An optional external charger would remedy this problem and would make having a second battery the seamless way to have constant connectivity.
    As it stands, you can't use the player for 3+ hours while it's charging.
    These proprietary batteries that are only chargeable via Creative products are confining and non-user-friendly.
    An optional external charger would make this player much more usable.
    PS - otherwise - I LOVE IT!!!

  • External charger for spare battery?

    I was wondering if MAC made an external charger for spare batteries for my 17 inch PowerBook G4 or do I have to charge it by putting it into the computer itself. If not I think MAC should think about this as I don't want to have to shut down my computer just to charge the other battery.
    Thanks,

    I think MAC focus mainly on making trucks
    This lot do though,

  • External Charger for Muvo S

    Does anyone know of an external charger for the Muvo Slim that can be plugged into the USB port.
    Alternati'vely, could an adapted 5v power supply be plugged into the usb port, or does it need microprocessor control to prevent overcharging?
    How else can I charge the MP3 player when I travel?
    Any ideas would be welcome.

    I think the only way to charge the player is by usb...not sure about the adapter.

  • External Charger for E6 battery

    I was considering buying an external charging source for my E6, instead of leaving the battery in my phone to charge and swapping batteries. I was using the Nokia DT-33 but that does not fully charge the battery, it only gets up to 30%. Then I saw this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036JHZZK/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=. It looks promising, I am currently using my old E71 as an external charger. Your input is valued, thanks!!!

    Hi Rancebobo
    Your solution sounds pretty good. I often use my E61i for the same purpose. But how can the battery charging stand only charge to 30%?
    In the DT-33  manual at http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/apac/phones/guides/Nokia_DT-33_QSG_en.pdf it says "When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light turns off." Surely it wouldn't say that if the charger was only designed to charge to 30%. If it doesn't you ought to be able to get it fixed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • External Charger for iPod touch?

    Hi. I got a doubt. Did my old external charger (it works perfectly with my old iPod Photo) works with the new iPod Touch? I'll apreciate any answer. I didn't know if plug it or not. The charger has the same voltage (5V), so I suppose that it gona work just fine.

    any ipod charger should work fine. if you are talking about the one that came with the ipod photo, yes that should work.

  • 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,
    -jay

    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.
