HERES HOW TO SOLVE THE ZEN VISION M CHARGING PROBLEM - WITHOUT SPENDING MORE CA

Hi all,
this advice is targeted at people charging with a laptop, and the dam player wont charge
the problem is that (with xp anyway) that the usb ports are programed for the power to be killed of when a device is not connected to the ports with sufficient charge to be recognized. heres how to fix this
go to control panel/system/hardware/device manager
then scroll and find uni'versal serial bus controllers (the flashy name for USBs) it was right down the bottom for me
open it up and you we see 2 or more "USB root hubs" this is the controller of the USB ports - right click on the first one and select its properties
this is where it may differ for some but - either under the "power" or "power management" tab untick the box which allows the computer to cut the power to the usb
now repeat this for the remaining "USB root hubs" and bobs your uncle
just plub in the vision then after a short moment try turning it on or it might load automatic
hope this cures alot of rag - it cured mine
ps - i would recommend particularly with a laptop to go back and tick the power boxs on the usb root hub properties so, when you go to use a laptop as one, the battery last longer
cheers

I thought this post was the answer to my prayers after struggling with my new Zen M all night, wondering why it won't charge!
still though, I plug it into usb, only the blue light flashes... then SOMETIMES after 20 minutes or so, the battery indicator will come on, in most dead battery icon, with lighting bolt / charging symbol. Then SOMETIMES after another 5-0 minutes, it'll boot and start playing some demo song on there I guess. But then after another 2-3 minutes (times are all estimates btw), it seems to shut down, and goes back to just the blinking blue light, and I can't manually boot it or anything!
Im ready to send it back, and NOT get another one! For 3 bucks cost, they couldn't include a simple receptacle plug connected to a wire, connected to a transformer, connected to an electrical outlet plug (A $3 CHARGER!!)? Ugh.
any more help, ideas, suggestions, or prognosis, its much appreciated
Chris

  • ZEN VISION:M CHARGING PROBLEM - H

    [color="#ff0000"]ZEN VISION:M MP3 PLAYER CHARGING PROBLEM?My MP3 player was charging perfectly for the first 4 weeks of its life with me. I usually charged using the USB port on my computer. When connected, the player would come to life and the CHARGING ICON would appear and flash until the unit was fully charged and the CHARGED ICON would come on. Worked well. Now when I connect the player to the computer, instead of the CHARGING ICON coming on, the unit immediately begins playing music or going to the last mode it was in before being shut down previous to connecting for charging.
    I have tried a reset of the whole player but that did not make any difference. I?encounter the same problem when connecting the player to the car?charger/power adapter. Can anyone give me some assistance? Cure?Thanks,? David B.

  • Help with the Zen Vision M Charg

    I just got a multifunction cable and when i pluged my ZVM into my windows XP nothing happens. I have a Creative Media Source but my screen remains black. The woman on the help line says it takes up to 4-6 hrs before the player can work again if the battery is fully drained. Is this true. I have had it in now for almost more than 5 hrs( i un pluged it a couple of times and tried to turn it on) Has this ever happened to anyone else. What is wrong what can i do and is my player broken? Please help

    If your battery drains completely, then I'm told recharging from the USB socket won't work (though others here have disputed that). Usually the ZVM takes anything up to 8 - 0 hours to charge fully, so my advice is leave it charging overnight. If it's still dead in the morning, get an AC adaptor and plug it into the wall, try again.
    ^I forgot to turn my Zen Micro off last night after I unplugged it from my car's stereo last night. It ran all night in my coat pocket and had the Low Battery warning when I looked at it in the morning.
    I plugged it into a USB port, it started charging and now has 2 bars after being plugged in for a while. USB charging will work with a dead battery, though I don't recommend letting your battery run flat too often.
    Normally I don't let it run down and keep the battery 'topped up' after each use.

  • Problems with the Zen Vision:M 6

    I'm experiencing a lot hangs and lockups with my Zen Vision:M 60GB,
    the newest firmware that is viable for the Zen Vision:M 60GB already
    on my Zen Vision:M 60GB, firmware version .2.02e, sometimes the
    clean up in the service mode works fine, had also a situation
    that everything went so bad that it lockedup when I turned my Zen on,
    had then to refresh the firmware and lost all my music on its hard dri've,
    costed me hours to get everything back on it.
    Please, Creative do something about these lockups bring new firmware out
    that solves these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please start supporting the Zen Vision:M 60GB again.

    I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
    I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
    problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
    I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
    till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
    the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
    the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
    with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
    somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
    asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
    They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.

  • Data Recovery Software for the Zen Vision M

    Data Recovery Software for the Zen Vision M:
    Has anyone had any success recovering lost sound files from a Vision M, with software, physical repair services, or otherwise? Does anyone claim to be able to recover information from these devices?
    The data recovery programs I have tried fail to recognize the dri've, since it doesn't show up in list of dri'ves for some reason (Is there a way to make this show up?). Any suggestions/ recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I lost over a year of recordings after an unexpected forced reformatting. How would one even go about finding someone for this job?
    Thanks, GW

    Haven't really tried the data recovery so I would like to know more about this one too.

    Two experiments you can try.
    1.  Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally.  All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
    2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff.  That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

  • Anyone figure out how to solve the 1015 error

    anyone figure out how to solve the 1015 error

    Each version of Photoshop has its own installation path therefore a different application as fars as Wacom Configuration.  You would need to set preferences for each Photoshop installed on your system.  However if you know XML.  Wacom Tablet Preference File Utility can save your Wacom preferences into an XML file.  That you may be able to duplicate a Photoshop install and the change the Photoshop Path. Or just change the prion version pathe the the new Photoshop path then restore your Wacom Preferences using the modified XML preference file.
    Here you see part of my wacom preferences I have set preferences for all Photoshop installed on my workstation.

  • How do you Interface Zen Vision M with Creative Media Source 5 in WIndows XP?

    I am having problems getting the Zen Vision M player to interface with Creative Media Source5 in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
    It does show up in the Device Manager System as a Portable Device and shows it working correctly.
    When I try to download one of the updates for Media Source 5 it will not install "player not found message"
    So now how do I get it to work with the Creative Media Source? It does not show this player at all.
    Just a note: I did get this player to work in Vista 64 and interface with Creative Media Source 5 but could not download Creative Explorer with Vista 64.

    Well thanks again!!! I must have downloaded the wrong file think it was the 38 version. I downloaded the 36 version and it works great!!!
    I think everything is working on both computers. Im glad because I bought another Vision M from someone on HardForum.
    One of the two might work for a Christmas present for my wife. Now we can get rid of our old Rio Players.

  • Can I leave the zen vision:m plugged to the AC charger long time, one week for examp

    Hello, I would like to use the zen vision as a jukebox, playing music 24 hours per day for long times (weeks for example), and I would like to know if is possible to leave it plugged to the AC constantly, using the power of the AC charger instead of the batteries. I would like to know exactly what would it happen, I mean, if the player is 00% charged, would it discharge or would it use only the AC power, or would it use the power of the batteries and when they begin to decrease the AC will charge them?
    I know that usually it is not very advisable let the charger plugged due to the heat buildup, but I did it to a lot of devices before (cd players for example), and I never had a problem, I think is only a little bit excessi've way of caution.
    Thank you in advance

    I would not recommend it, It isn't documented but I don't think this is the intended use of the Zen Vision:M
    Number one; the LCD screen would constantly be on, and is bound to burn out. Maybe not after a week, but a considerably short time compared to standard usage.
    Number Two; how would the motor of the hard dri've hold up, spinning continuously. Its small, very fragile and not ment for heavy duty work is my assumption.
    Number Three; As far as the battery is concerned, I don't know what would happen. I know that after the charge is complete the charging supposed to stop. But what would the effects be after never using it's Rechargable batterys can still die, and loose there lifespan when not used for a long time, and old unused batteries may leak causing some damage and maybe even an injury,
    Number Four; This a "Portable" MP3 player, and is most likely logically designed, tested, and approved under specific specifications and usage. Not to mention you'd be waseting half the funtionality of the player. The Vision:M was made to be a specticle, Look, it has a touch pad and buttons that light up. It shows movies and pictures, it can record audio, play FM Radio, and sync up with Outlook. You wanna stick something like that on a shelf for weeks?
    You need more of a stationary Jukebox with Hard Dri've support and MP3 functionality. I don't know where you can get one or even if they exist. But my guess that they'd be really expensi've.But on the other hand I'd feel more comforatable experiementing with a Zen Xtra. Because its bigger, studier, the battery is removable, cheaper, and it functionality is more focused on what you want to do which is just to play music.
    Though even it was ment to be portable....

    Hi, there is a dock for the Zen Vision M, i just bought one from the Creative site, but they are very very hard to get hold of. Here is a link to the website, just keep returning to this page every couple of days and you might get lucky. Be warned they cost ?50, but? sound AMAZING.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
