Headphone Socket Problem - on Zen Micro Photo (not Zen Mic

Hi folks,I'm having a wee problem with the headphone socket on my Zen MicroPhoto, similar to that described in this threadhttp://forums.creative.com/showthrea...=654536#M40796 However, this was for the Zen Micro not the Photo. I've tried the DIY method of sorting out the headphone socket (by partial disassembly) but I think that there's no plastic strip where the socket, on/off switch and USB port are housed and that it's part of the main casing instead (which is probably part of the reason the MicroPhoto hasn't has as many problems with the headphone socket in the first place, as in it's a more sturdy structure...but it's obviously come loose for me). So...any hints as to what I might be able to do Anyone had the same problem Bearing in mind I bought it over a year ago now and it was second hand anyway (and thus the warranty is no longer valid). Thanks! RL

  • Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

    Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
    When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
    There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
    Any help greatfully received!

  • Zen Micro Photo not recognized in Media Explo

    Device automatically goes into Recovery Mode when turned on. Tried the clean up and format features, followed by reboot. Still nothing. ?When connected via USB, Device not recognized in Media Explorer. Tried to reload firmware, but getting error message that device is not connected.
    Can someone help?

    Hey i think i know what your problem is. What Operating System are u running on your computer? (Windows XP, ME etc) And also, if running XP do you have service pack installed? If you dont have service pack installed, you cant use your player. The system requirements can be found on the back of the zen micro photo box. goodluck!!

  • Headphone jack problem with Zen Micro

    Hi.
    I bought my zen micro on April 4 and everything was fine until a few weeks ago
    when I got the headphone jack problem. When I touch the plug that is connected
    with the player, it makes a weird noise and the volume decreases and goes back to normal
    and it keeps doing it.
    Can I get a/s for no charge since it's a yr hardware warranty?
    P.S.) I can see there are some ppl who are getting upset by this same problem here.

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not work with

    Hi,i formatted my hd 2 days ago.
    I loose my cd with creative zen micro photo expoler.
    When i connect my mp3 with usb cable appears an autoplay window of windows Xp that show me what i cand do with my mp3(Transfer Files with Windows media is the only option).
    How I can do to use my mp3 with Creative Organizer?
    Where i can find creative zen micro photo explorer?

    Top of page on Creative banner, click Support-> Downloads-> MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen MicroPhoto, chose your language and Operating System and select the software that you need.
    Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the Show Details... pop-u
    ps.
    Looks like Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer isn't posted any more, so Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) would probably be your best bet.
    I have had no luck getting MediaSource 5.x to work with my computers and I've tried very hard.

  • E5-571G headphone socket problem

    On my note E5-571G-71CU is following problem with headphone socket:When I plug in headphones there, built-in speakers don't turn off. And there is no separate regulation, in system only speakers present and if I mute them - headphones get muted too.Should built-in speakers be controlled by driver, or it's hardware fail?OS - windows 7-64 bit, Realtek driver 6.0.1.7250

    Hello, In the Realtek manager, you'll find  normally an option:"Mute rear panel ouput when front headphone plugged in"

  • Headphone socket problem?!

    My headphones will not go all the way into the headphone socket. This only happened like last week, it's not just my apple headphones it's all of the ones that I have tried. Theres nothing in the socket causing a blockage so what could it be?!

    Hi Sophie and welcome to discussions. Actually this sounds like one of the tabs in the socket which will touch the respective contacts on the plugs might be bent and is blocking the socket. This is pretty delicate, and you can easily damage your iPhone with this. If you like, you may try to force the plug into the socket. Sometimes, if it's a tab, that will bend out of the way and the headphone plug will go in. But it may also bend the tab further, pretty much destroying the socket.
    You can use a powerful flashlight and look into the socket to see if there is something in there. If that does not help, you probably should take the iPhone to an Apple Store and have them look at it.

  • Headphone socket problems

    hi all..I've got a 2nd gen ipod (i think - 4 buttons and wheel),,i bought it in march 2004 and I've treated it like it was myt child !! YET - recently the headphone socket has started making scratchy noise and cutting out my left ear,,has anyone else experienced this and is it curable?!?!thanks in advance for an advice.

    Ok, try another set of headphones first. Then if that doesnt work you can try a Q-tip with a dab of metholayted spirits on it. Insert it into the socket and rotate, scrubbing the walls of the socket. Do the same to the headphone jack. Try again. If all fails, take it to an ipod store and ask the guys there.

  • Zen Micro Photo not detected by ZEN softw

    Hi, I have been having a heap of trouble getting my microphot to talk to the software. I had all the common issues with demo shield, itunes reinstalled Adobe products uninstalled etc,. The device is detected by windows but the software tells me it is not connected. All the creavite software has been installed many many times. Anyone got an idea?

    beesquared, ok the computer does recognize it. Now you need to do 2 things which was in the link I provided <a href='http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=8&categories =Nomad+Jukebox+Zen#228' target=_blank>here[/url].
    Do #3 and #5:
    3. Open Task Manager, click on processes, look for the process WDFMGR.EXE. If its not listed then, clicl Start > Run, and type CMD. In the command prompt window type SC START UMWDF. Check Task Manager and see if this process is listed and try WMP0 again.
    5. Start REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB. Right click the USB string and select Permissions. Make sure 'Administrator' and 'Everyone' have 'Allowed' ticked for Full Control permission. If you do not have 'Everyone' then click the Add button, add the username, and then give it Full Control.Message Edited by DM on 0-4-2006 07:47 PM

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

    Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
    Lucy

    Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
    Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

  • Headphones socket problem in 920

    Its been 2 months I bought 920 I hardly used headphones all of sudden right side of the headset stopped working..is it a hardware problem ?? Any solution for this please

    I've had the same issue. It comes and goes as it pleases and there's nothing I can ever do. Rebooting the phone doesn't help. I cannot remember if I've ever done a soft reset, but a hard reset for sure not, because I've heard that that can cause other bad problems including bricking the phone. Not interested. Luckily it doesn't happen often and I don't use the earbuds all the time anyway, so even if it's not working sometimes, I won't know.

  • Has anyone not had a problem with ZEN MIC

    should I just buy a Nomad Xtra?

    Yes, Have Micro and it is second one in 4 months, Had to send st one back because it froze up and wouldn't turn on or play. The second one is doing the same thing within 3 months with very little use. My new Micro won't go through recovery mode. This is second time it has froze up on me, phone support walked me through recovery mode and I reformatted and reloaded all my music, updated firmwar and now it has done the same thing, WHAT'S UP!!!!!

  • Where can I buy a new HEADPHONE JACK PCB for Zen Mic

    Hi,
    I have resoldered my headphone jack 3 times, but it has once again started malfunctioning. This time, I tried superglueing the jack to the board, but I think I have accidentilly short-circuited some of the board that the jack rests on with the glue.
    Where can I just buy a brand new board with the jack on it's Or does anyone have a scrapped Zen Micro with the part lying around? If anyone can provide info about where I can get a new board, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Yeah, whatever <FONT color=#339900>i<t is, you can fint it on Ebay.
    Just be careful, some of the things on ebay are not always what they seem. Depeding on the price, you may be better off buying a new player.

  • Zen Micro Photo Recognized in Vista but Not Detected in Creative Softw

    How do i fix this problem? My Micro Photo is recognized in Vista. It shows up a portable device when i click "computer"? I can see all the songs on my mp3 player. The problem is the the Creative Mediasource 5. and Zencast organizer says it is not detected. These are the new versions for windows vista. Just downloaded them from the creative website.
    Can i just copy and paste songs on the mp3 player from within "Computer" since it is recognized as a portable device? Which software is supposed to be the one I use for organizing music..Mediasource or Zencast??

    Great Call on installing the playsforsure update. I had the exact same issue... Zen V Plus recognized by Vista, but not by Mediasource 5 organizer. I had already installed the "CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36" update from Creative's support site, which supposedly included the Playsforsure plug-in. However, when I went to Mediasource 5 help, software updates menu item... the plugin was listed as neeing to be downloaded and installed. My Zen V Plus was recognized after the reboot!!

  • Something is wrong in mac book headphones socket

    hello there,
                      I have some problem in my headphones socket bcos i Plugged my galaxy note headphone there so kindly advice me.

    Nothing to worry about. Even if you use the power cable most of the time, your MBP battery will display numbers like 100%, then 99%, etc. At 94%, you'll see the power indicator light on your cable turn amber. The MBP promptly charges to 100%.
    You only need to calibrate your battery once a month.
    Post here if you found this info useful, of if you have any other questions!
