Help! charging prob

Hi to all,
I just bought an 8gb Zen and have installed the software. I connected the mp3 player through usb to my computer and it was charging for hour or so (I also noticed the green sign indicating battery was full). Then the synchronizing message appeared on my computer and the mp3 turned off. Now I unplugged it and plugged it again but it doesn't go back to charge nor does it appear on the computer.
Any ideas Should I risk turning the mp3 on
I've had a bad experience with partial charging with my previous mp3 (it would only last 3 hours instead of 0) so I wouldn't want to risk it with this one.
Thanks

Is there a plug symbol (not flashing) within the battery symbol - this indicates that the battery is fully charged?
Since this is a solid state flash MP3 device by turning it on it won't hurt it but not having the proper charge it just won't work.

    ...and you'll be sent a box to ship your iPod to Apple in. You have to pay shipping to send the iPod to Apple, but they pay shipping to send a new one back to you (and yes, if there is something wrong, they will just send you a new one, so back everything up).

  • New User,need help, charging, using, everythi

    I recently bought a Zen V Plus and have no tech savy so need help. I've checked with support but don't get th answers I need so thought someone here could help. Here are my questions.
    1. Is there anything else that can be used as a charger besides a Zen product. I have several cell phone chargers both for house and can, can any of these be used? need to save money
    2. Can the Zen be used while charging? All I get is the docked message and nothing else?
    3. I use my player mainly for audio books and the battery doesn't hold for a whole book so I have to charge but when I do the book goes? back to the first part instead of holding my place. I do I hold my place?
    Anybody that can give me simple clear answers please help. Because of my age I have trouble reading and the player allows me to enjoy books but I have trouble understanding how to make it work. Don't laugh but my 3 year old grandson would probably have better luck with getting it to work.
    Thanks for any help provided

    Li'vewolf,
    First, no three year old will do better than you can with the player. That said, spend some time reading the tutorials listed under support at the top of this page, and use the search in this forum to find everything you can about the Zen V Plus.
    When I shut down my Zen V plus, while reading my current audiobook, I just hit the pause button and then pull down the slide button on the left for "shutting down". Some of my books seem to do better with just a shut down instead of pause first. I have found that the bookmark feature is more trouble than it is worth. I use audiobooks from NetLibrary and Overdri've and a few extra from a forum on audiobooks. It seems that they all work differently when shutting down and holding a place.
    Anyway, spend some time trying different methods of bookmarking. The Zen V Plus is fairly forgiving player.
    Best Wishes.

    One more thought for recharging your battery. Try Amazon or eBay for a recharger, if you can't afford the Creative charger, but remember that you can fry the player if you use the wrong one and the warranty doesn't cover that damage. The easiest and cheapest way to recharge is to use the computer.

    REAL ISSUE MY COMPUTER IS IN ANOTHER PART OF THE HOUSE!!

    If the iPod charges through the computer using the same cable, then you have to consider that the charger is faulty.
    You can look here.
    iPod battery doesn't charge.
    However, I'd be looking to the charger.

  • HELP: Charging iPhone launches synch operation over and over on PC

    I simply want to charge my iPhone. I have it connected to the base, connected to the PC. Every 2 or 3 minutes, the phone wakes up, pops-on, as if I have gotten a call or an email or something (even though nothing has happened), and the PC pops up a window indicating that it has suddenly discovered the iPhone is connected (it is doing this every 2 to 5 minutes!) - very annoying. I just want the phone to sit there and charge - I turned off the synch always setting, but the pop-ups and discovery every few minutes will not stop - HELP!

    Hey Ron,
    Make sure the iPhone is plugged directly into the computer and not into a monitor, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect any other USB devices attached to the PC, other than the keyboard and mouse.
    If it has the same problem after being directly connected, try testing with the computer in a selective startup mode.

  • Help-Charging problem with MicroPh

    Hi,I bought a USB Power Adaptor which connects to the Mains supply and provides a USB interface for charging USB devices. I connected my Zen MicroPhoto' USB cord to this adaptor and set it ON for charging. The battery icon on the player showed charging, but till hours of keeping the charging ON, the player was not charged. I was wondering if the player can only be charged through a computer!!!Please advise... Mayank

    To both of you guys heres is the deal:?First of all Im not a pro in? Computers or mp3s or electrician... But I want to help cause if it wasnt for the help I get from forums/the Internet I wont be writing this right now. I have to say that this forums are the WORST I have ever seen for Customer Support and even between the Users, Like yesterday I saw this post in wich this guy was asking for some kind of help("knowlage") and this other guy who replied was with this attitude like "READ THE MANUAL"... thats BS I say. I would like to change that kind of attitude from some of the users of this Forums(they know who they are:smileytongue. Guys,you know we are alone in THIS. You get the classic "Robot" like response from some of the Mods wich some of you guys expect them to help us solve our problems with our mp3s. I dont. And yet some of you appears to me that?dont care?to ?give a guy a hand with their problems. Come on guys lets be more cooperati've and help each another,ok?Now about that charging problem,you didnt gave a link for the adapter or a link for the picture of it but with the description you gave me I can picture it on my head. When I was looking for an adapter for my ZMP I too looked at those kind of power adapter/charger you both mentioned. But I was not confident about those so I went for a creative one from JR.com but then after I placed my order with them I went to Ebay and found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Creative-Lab...QQcmdZViewItem??

  • Help ipod prob

    i need help i got a new ipod 30 gig video ipod.
    I can fully charge it and unhook it turn it off and the next day the battery will be dead.
    When listening to it i get standard listing time so i don't know what is wrong.

    For any unexpected battery drain the first thing to check is that an alarm is not set that would cause the iPod to start up and play whilst unattended.
    To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

  • Help - fsb probs??

    hope you guys can help
    my system to begin with!!
    msi kt4 ultra bsr
    amd t/bred 2400+ (version "b" i believe)
    512meg of 333mhz ddr  (cl2.5)
    msi ge4 ti4200 128meg
    now to my problem - it is my understanding that 333mhz ddr ram should optimise when running at a fsb of 166mhz
    unfortunatelyas i slowly up my fsb it crashes out at about 142-4 mhz fsb - even when i use the fuzzy logic it crashes at 144mhz!
    i am not sure but as the multiplier seems to be locked on this mobo - is it overclocking the proc too much???
    or are there any settings available to allow me to set 166mhz fsb??? with my amd 2400+
    please help guys!!!!!
    anyone from msi out there listening?? ;-)

    Read ....http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=22&t=000815 .....
    Thes guys have alot of knowledge here.... They are not all MSI lovers, but lots of knowledge.... One other note from what I have seen and read some vendors offer 2 version of the 2400+. one locked, and one unlocked....

  • Muvo2 FM 5GB Charging Prob

    hi, my friend just gave me the above player, i had problem charging the player using USB player,?when i connect it to my pc, it only sync between the pc and player for transferring files but it's not charging at all, how do i go about to charge the batt? do i have wait till EMPTY battery before i can charge it's?please kind advise thanks

    Double click on My Computer and then right click on the MuVo2.
    Click Eject, but leave the player connected, it should then charge.
    Leave it attached until it's full (3 bars).
    Careful charging via USB as it must have least one bar of power before you can start to do so.

  • Charging prob

    I attempted to charge my MuVo2 player using a uni'versal DC power car charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter. The charger can be set at different voltages. I accidentally charged my player at 2V. It hasn't worked since. Did I fry the whole device, or can I just get a new Lithium ion battery?

    You will have damaged the player unfortunately.

  • Zen V Plus - Charging Prob

    I've plugged my new Zen V Plus into my USB port, and the battery charging indicator has been flashing as expected. However, 9 hours later the battery indicator is only showing about a quarter charge. Any ideas?Thanks?Stompa?

    You're right, I didn't have the driver. If it's not actually charging, then I'm a bit surprised that the battery indicator flashes (implying that it is charging).
