Help zen wont turn o

hey this is my first post so sorry if info isnt right but can someone please try to help..
i had the zen 6gb for a xmas present and have only used it a couple of times but now it wont switch on. I fully charged it and took it to work to listen to and it wouldn't switch on at all. when i got home i pluged it back into my pc and it did eventually charge. I switched it back off once fully charged and have just tried to switch it back on and its not turning on again. i have once again pluged it back in and it wont respond to anything, has anyone else had this problem and is my player faulty and needs replacing?
thanks
soph

I have a similar problem. I just recieved my Zen 8GB in the mail yesterday. I brought it to a full charge and transfered a few songs to it. Tested it out and it worked great for 4 or so hours. I then attached it to my PC to transfer a larger amount of my music library to the player.
When done I unplugged the player and it immediately powered off. I tried to turn it on, the Creative logo fires up, then I get a garbled white screen and it powers down (never gets to the ZEN logo).
If I plug it back into my PC it poweres up all the way and goes to the "Docked" screen.
Naturally, I tried resetting the device to no avail so my next course of action was to upgrade the firmware. I did so (to .2.0 released about a week or so ago) and that did not resolve the issue. So I booted up into the service mode (holding down play while pressing power) and the player boots up fine and holds its powered-on state. So I'm not positi've its the battery.
At this point I did a full flush of the firmware through the service screen?and re-installed the latest release that way. Still no dice. The player will not get past the "creative" logo when booting from the battery.
I have attained an RMA and will be sending the player back to Creative today. I'm concerned that they will plug it in and see it boots to docking mode and send it back to me as is. Personally, I'm quite upset that I could not locate a customer service telephone number online and that the text-box through which you explain your issue for the RMA only allows about 200 characters.
Overall experience so far (not owning a product for a full day and discovering I need to be without my new product for up to 5 additional days, not being able to TALK with a customer service representati've to fully explain my issue) has not been a good one. Lets hope it comes back in working order.

    i just got a new zen touch and the thing wont turn on brand new just opened do i have to charge it first before i even turn it on thx

    No. The adapter will power the player without the battery. Sometimes the player can lockup so a reset is worth a try, but clearly that hasn't helped.
    Sounds like either the adapter or player is faulty. If you bought it locally then return it there, otherwise you'll either want to return it to the retailer or via Creative support.

  • Please Help S4 wont turn on

    Someone please help I have tried to update my phone but now it wont turn on. It has the little green man and says 'installing system update' all it does is get to 100% vibrate, turn off then come back on again with 'recovery booting' in the top left corner then it goes back to the little green man

    Your welcome.. I'll add if your close by a Corporate Verizon store you might see what they can do for this issue. they might be able to get the update to push through or they could run a Factory Wipe and start the process over again, but they should be able to get it fixed for ya..  Good Luck.. b33

  • Zen wont turn

    Myzen touch is only four weeks old, when I went to switch it on this morning the little blue light came on at the side but nothing else, just dead. The light wont go off at all and its still dead, the battery is fully charged, I cant do recovery as you have to have it switched OFF before you can do it, WHAT AM I TO DO? Please someone help.

    Reset will work when the player is on *or* off, it doesn't matter.
    If it won't reset then connect it to the mains adapter and try again, and it's worth trying reset a few times also (again, if it doesn't reset the first time). Make sure to use something like a bent paper clip, rather than a pin.

    Thank you sir for your reply, but the problem existed before the rooting.
    amralomari,
    I advise sending the phone to a Nokia Care Centre or to the retailer where you have acquired the phone for further device evaluation. Since you have mentioned that you have rooted the device, the warranty may get marked invalid by the Care Point.

    As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.
