HELP - MY ZEN HAS COMPLETELY DIED

my zen has just died. it's less than a week old and been used? about twice. it had about 50% battery left and it just switched off. i have attached it to the USB port on my computer but nothing is happening. the blue charge light has been on since it died (before i attached it to computer even). im not sure what to do with it. it was a gift and I suspect it was bought online, so sending to creative with a receipt will be problematic!
any suggestions greatly appreciated!
thanks

% While it is connected to the computer push a straightened paperclip into the reset hole. It should turn on. It says RESET by the hole.http://forums.creative.com/creativel...thread.id=2477

    my iphone 4 has completely died.. how can I retrieve my contacts and photos from icloud?

    Hi you can take to Apple Store they may Replace with a Refurbished, one but you will need to pay part of cost. Make an Appointment, if you do get Another iphone when you set it up Just use the same Apple, id & password then you will get all your Apps & Data back. Cheers Brian

  • I need help , 8GB ZEN has 'Firmware Problem' mess

    Hi there I'm from Singapore & I bought a 8GB ZEN from West Mall's Harvey Norman last Oct .
    Eariler on , I realised that my ZEN has a 'Firmware Problem' message displayed on the screen . I try as might to reset the player countless times but no matter what , the message still appears & to make things worst I tried to call the customer/techincal support hotlines but they're closed for the day :S
    I don't know what happened , it was still working fine this morning when I brought it to Uni . Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
    Thanks
    Karen

    If you get the firmware error, you can go into the Recovery mode by holding down the Play/Pause button while turning on the unit. Then do a 'Reload Firmware'. This will clear the firmware. Download and run the Firmware update from the Creative website for the Zen. This should reaload the firmware with the latest version.
    If that fails, just bring the Zen and the receipt down to the Creative service centre and they will take care of it.

  • How to restart an iphone that has completely died and can not be recharged

    Today for some reason my iphn4S completely died and I can not turn it on or even recharge it. It was not flat so I dont know why it died. I can not even start it through iTunes. Any comment on ways to start it or is it stuffed? It is only 6 months old.

    You are both right - I had to plug it in and then by holding both switches for longer than normal - it finally started. I have now rushed to back it up with all my valuable info and am still following up with the tech support as it was really warm and did not have any aplications running, so I doubt that it is going to be reliable from now on - and I can not trust it ....
    thanks for your help

  • IPhone 3gs has completely died. totally unresponsive HELP!!

    Hi everyone.. My daughter has an iphone 3gs. About 2 weeks ago it suddenly died! I put it on charge all night and nothing! I held the home button and power button together for 10 seconds, 30 seconds etc etc i tried dfu mode, it didnt work at all. When plugged into itunes, itunes does not pick up the device at all. Then after 2 days it suddenly came on!! I instantly backed it up and restored it from new, hoping that if it were a software issueu, this would have solved it.. Anyway.. it was working fine, untill just now! The same has happened again! I live so far away from an Apple store and i have 3 young children so would find it almost impossible to find time to get to one. Can anybody assist me further, as travelling to an Apple store really needs to be my last resort. I can see this happens to lots of people, but no one ever comments on the solution after visiting an Apple Store and was hoping someone could help. Many thanks for your time
    Bethan x

    Call Apple support...if you cannot go to a near Apple store they will offer other service options like normal delivery or express delivery if this is really a hardware issue or battery issue... try to restore as new without the data (apps / music / video) it might be the data causing the iphone not to work...

  • Outgoing mail has completely died... Help...

    Hey all,
    This is the weirdest thing.
    All my outgoing mail is frozen in the outbox.
    Eventually I get the error message
    "The server at mail.stevelevine.com cannot be contacted on any of the default ports.
    Select a different outgoing mail server fromt he list below or try later to leave the message in your outbox until it can be sent."
    Note that this has nothing to do with any of the outgoing servers.  I have 6 or 7 on this mail system and the same is suddenly happening with all of them.
    Tried quitting mail, rebooting, clearing everyone out of the outbox and trying again.
    Two Notes:
    Incoming mail is working fine on this MacBook.
    Outgoing mail is working fine on my IMac, with all the same settings, internet connection etc.
    Tried using a different internet connection and experienced the same thing.
    I'm really good at this stuff, but I am completely stumped on this one.
    Any ideas?
    Steve

    It's been almost three years since I bought and set up my most recent Mac but if I recall correctly .....
    When you initially set up your Mac, you were offered the opportunity to snap a photo of yourself in order to associate your photo with your user account on the computer. If you declined the photo I think the Mac will pick or suggest a picture from the preinstalled selections in the accounts pane of the system preferences. You can change the picture but you cannot delete it totally. That picture is part of your ID for that user account on the Mac.
    If you want to change it, Open System Preferences and click on accounts. Click on your account to change the picture. You will have to unlock the preference in the bottom left corner - and to do that - you need to enter your password. Click on the picture of the Eagle and then all of the preinstalled photo choices pop up in another window. Select another photo and then clcik the lock icon again when you are done.

  • Z10 has completely died and won't restart using either of 2 batteries

    I turned my z10 off and tried to restart it. It hasn't restarted in a week. i have 2 batteries. Neither is effective.  At best i get a red light when i plug it in that disappears after a few seconds and then its again completely unresponsive.  I've pulled the batteries out for extended periods of time and I've pulled the sim card. I've left it on charger for hours.  No response.
    any thoughts to how I can at least get it restarted to rescue what I have on it besides my last back up with BB Link.

  • URGENT HELP! My mini completely died!!!

    I was in the process of transfering some music files to my external hard drive and all of a sudden its power cut off completely! All of the other things plugged through the surge protector did not cut off so its not a power issue on that end. I tried unplugging everything and plugging back in, and messing with the power input jack but no luck. Does anyone at all have any expierience with this problem, I have work that I need it for, this is urgent! Is my mini toast or is there something I can do? Plugged into it currently is broadband, power cable, vga moniter, firewire solo recording interface, maxtor 200 gig external usb hard drive and a belkin usb hub with my keyboard, printer, and m-audio keystation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Well, I ended up taking the mini to the Apple store in Tysons Corner. Not only was it an hour and a half drive from my home (which isn't a real problem except annoyance) once I got there, I had to wait for about an hour before my name was called, about 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment. When I finally was called I got a "genius" who grabbed my computer, plugged it in, said it would have to stay there and would not answer any question I had with more than a word or two. If this is the way Apple treats their customers, it's not a very good business practice.
    To put a long story short, I still have no idea what is wrong with my mini even after speaking with a "genius". He gave no potential answers or seemed to care at all, I just signed a paper, he threw it on the shelf and said come back in 7 days. That's it.
    After all this, with terrible customer service/appreciation AND faulty equipment on a machine that's only a few months old and supposed to be quite reliable, my confidence in Apple computers has been shaken if not destroyed. Once I get the mini back I may infact sell it in the local classifieds and put it towards a nice Windows laptop. This mini was to be used for my small business I'm starting up at the beggining of the summer, but now I don't know if it will work or break down unexpectedly again. Anyway, sorry to release my steam, I just wanted to let everyone know a "genius" is now on the job...

    I am willing to help.
    I don't understand when you say "it never showed up and when it did it kept..."
    what did you do differently so that some times, the BBm icon disappeared, and some other times the BBm icon was available and clickable ?
    What Bold you do have ? With which OS version?
    What is the exact error message that appears when you say "files missing" ?
    in the Application management, what is the version number of BBm ?

  • HELP! Droid 3 completely died. Wont turn on.

    My phone like I'm sure every other smartphone seemed to freeze every once in a while. Never was a big deal I would just take out the battery and it would be good as new. This last time I did that it never turned back on. It gets stuck on the Motorola opening screen. There’s also a strip of light running across the bottom of the screen. What the hell happened to my phone? Any solutions?

        Hi mizz_spun!  I am here to help!  Sounds like your device may be stuck in a "boot up" mode.  I suggest trying to hard reset the device following these alternate hard reset steps: http://bit.ly/PwUorh  Let me know how that works out for you.  Thanks!
