LCD problem in Zen To

I had put my Zen touch on the desk yesterday. I woke up and on my LCD is big "Rainbow" spot. There is no possibility that I treat my player wrong. It is brand new and he still working but I cant see anything on LCD. I suppose that the Guarantee service tell me that was my fold. But in other services (electronic services,not Creative) in my country (I li've in Poland) saying that they cant do this. Please help me!!!!

Is the display distorted, or actually physically damaged? It would be best to speak to Customer Support directly:

Random Problems with Zen Micro? Try a diff. USB cable

I know people have mentioned this in other posts, but I thought I would reiterate it here. Many people seem to be complaining that their player is not recognized, or only sometimes recognized, or recognized by Windows (as a USB device) but not by their Creative software, or songs won't transfer, etc. Well, I had some similar problems which ALL went away when I started using a different USB cable - the one that shipped with the Micro just doesn't seem to work consistently.
So, if you are having problems with your player that you can't seem to solve any other way, you may want to try a different USB cable. It worked for me.
Hope this helps - I am (now) loving my new Micro!

I tried a different USB cable also, I thought that it would help, but I still got the same problems. I can almost guarantee that although you think you may have solved your issues, they WILL come back.
I've also been experiencing the "Player Not Connected" problem with my Zen Micro.
I've also had the problem where the Zen Micro just freezes in the "Docked" screen even after it has been disconnected from the PC
I've noticed that these are common problems with Zen Micros with the new firmware (.0.03)
My old Zen Micro with the old, original firmware did NOT have this connectivity problem
Creative should investigate these issues associated with this new firmware, or maybe even making the old firmware available for download to see if this really is the source of all these problems.

Problems With Zen Touch Turn

After just recently purchasing a Zen Touch in December 2005, I already have problems with it.
I have never dropped it or hit it. I plugged it in to re-charge one day after using it and when it was done charging I turned it on, used it for 5 minutes then set it down. The next morning I went to turn it on to use it, and it wouldn't turn on. The blue light at the side on the power button was on, but the screen just wouldn't show up. Now the blue light won't turn off. I have read about these problems with Zen Micro freezing up and read about Zen Touch freezing up back in 2004 when it was released. I have phoned the number but couldn't seem to get through. Should I consider taking it in? Or is there an easier way?

Have you tried resetting it's Connect to the mains adapter and press the tiny recessed button on the side of the player. Don't use anything sharp to press it, a bent paper clip is best.

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 14,1" LCD problem

Hi, LCD in my T61 14,1" with nVidia graphics (T61 7664-18G) has failed - I attached an image. External LCD is 100% OK, just internal have this problem (like image in fog, bad readable). I try to replace LCD - problem is still there. What can be the solution? LCD cable, invertor, or it is a nVidia problem (but really just internal LCD problem)? Thanks for help.
Internal LCD (like in fog, no readable text - or very bad):

Buy another T61/T400 with Intel graphics (because of compatibility and old style keyboard) It is used only for programming, I think that I don't need graphics performance ... Are parts from T61 with nVidia graphics full compatible with parts with Intel graphics (when I will go this way I will have some replacement parts )? Or is it compatible T61 14,1" and T400 in main parts? What will be the best choice? Performance of T61 is sufficient for development of web applications etc.
If you don't need graphic performance and the T61 performance is enough for you I would buy an Intel T61 planar and replace the Nvidia one. RAM and CPU are compatible, but you will need an integrated heatsink since it's different than the discrete one you have now. I can't comment about driving two monitors, I guess you now use both VGA and DVI ports, right?
You can also re-use your hard drive or SSD and WLAN card.
If you go the T400 way (or even T410, it also has a non chiclet keyboard) you will be able to reuse the hard drive/ssd. RAM is not compatible! (DDR3 instead of DDR2)
Hope this helps!

Frozen problem of ZEN Stone p

Hi all,
I need your help with my ZEN Stone plus (2GB). It was bought last December. Recently, it always gets frozen?with the?showing of?"CREATIVE" letters?after I press the play button. I cannot get to?the menu. All the buttons lose their functions. I cannot even turn it off. In addition, my laptop doesn't recognize it'swhen I plug it into the USB portal.
When I plug it into my laptop, the light for recharging is always on. It never flashes even if it is out of battery.
I have?tried the "reset button". But it dosen't work at all. The same problem?repeats. Can anyone help me out? Thank you very much.

$Re: Frozen problem of ZEN Stone plus Have the same basic problem, slightly different symptoms.
Had just recharged my 2GB player (w/speaker) and added some songs and a podcast not half an hour before.
Was playing songs one at a time but got distracted. When I went to choose the next song pressed the button up top to bring the screen up. It came up but then winked out. Figured it timed out so I turned it back on again.
Showed the Creative screen, got to the "Zen Stone" screen and then just sat there and sat there. After what seemed like forever got onto the website and followed the directions about rebooting and restarted it. Same thing. Tried it again. No luck.
Thought to hook it up to the computer to see if that made a difference. The player came on automatically but stil stalled. And? the computer doesn't recognize it. No icon of any kind, nothing in "Safely Remove Hardware" or a sign of it anywhere else. Even opened Creative Media Lite and it says there's no player connected. So I've hit reboot and have left it turned off.
Thought about letting the battery run down but since I can't be certain it will recharge even though it lights up when connected to the USB - and there could be a solution but only if it has power - I'm not going to do that. There's nothing specific I can find in the Troubleshooting about "frozen log in".AND "computer won't recognize".
I don't care about the files. But I haven't had a moment of trouble from it until this happened - no computer interface issues, battery life problems, nothing. I love this little thing. People are always asking me about it when they see it clipped to my shirt collar when I'm out. Haven't had it long and can't afford to replace it right now.
Really hoping that it's something fixable.

LCD Problems w/ Indigo 366MHz

I have an Indigo iBook that I bought of off eBay.
I haven't had any problems with it until recently. I notice that certain shades of gray on the screen (notably the gray border on the OS9 start up "box" with the smiling Mac logo when it is starting up), and once it gets to the desktop, certain pixels "flash" green/blue. They are mostly all in the same area, but can be spread out depending on the number of colors that are shown (256 grays shows a LOT of them).
Would this be an LCD problem, an inverter problem, or a cable problem?
I'm leaning towards a cable problem, as the pixels that flash change whenever the monitor gets "re-initialized" (the screen blinks, changing color and/or resolutions). It is also only noticeable on certain colors.
I am comfortable with replacing the parts myself, I just don't want to waste money on something that will most likely not solve the problem.
If it matters, I am running OS 9.2.2 with 256MB of RAM, with a 10GB (stock, as far as I know) hard drive.

in general - if you change the whole display assembly, it will work with (nearly) any configuration. Once i came across a display that was only willing to work with a firewire Clamshell and refused to work in a 300MHz model, but i think that was bad luck because in three dozen of other switches that had been no problem.
It is nearly impossible to get spanking new display panels for the Clamshells because the 800x600 resolution has been long out of date.
So all you can get is a used one, and it is hard to tell if the one you're buying is good or not.
The display gets darker after some thousand hours of use because of the neon tube (CCFL) which lights up the display is getting older. You will see darker spots in the corners, and it will be no bright as before.
You can change the CCFL and renew your panel if it is stll working- i havn't tried this yet.
If it helps i can provide a link that contains my personal list of shops with spare parts:

Two problems with Zen Vision: M

Hi all. I'll give my player's specs before describing the problem(s):Zen Vision: M 30 GBVersion .40.02 Anyway, I've had my Zen for about 4 months now, and up until now, it's worked perfectly. Recently, for the first time, it froze on me. I figure it was because I was shuffling through songs on random too quickly, as I see other people have had this problem too. So I reset the player, but it only rebuilt halfway; on the "Rebuilding" screen, the green line stops about halfway through. Now, whereas I once had about 2600 songs I'm down to a little over 000. I didn't think it was that big of a problem; I've either got all my songs backed up on my computer or CD. But when I connected the Zen to my computer, my computer couldn't read the device. Sort of, that is. My Zen can still charge through my computer and when I plug it into the computer, a message will pop up asking me what I'd like to do with the MP3 device. However, when I go to Zen Vision: M Series Media Explorer, I get the message "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen Vision: M Series to the computer." I went through the FAQ at the top of the message board and tried basically every solution outside of trying the Zen on another computer. I'm thinking it's a problem with the player, not my computer. It still acts erratically at times- like, if I leave it off for an extended amount of time and turn it on, it'll go into rebuilding mode. Other than that, though, it's fine. Could the hard dri've be corrupted Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. It all started yesterday when I was installing the cd drivers in my new computer. I have searched numerous forums and some people had to return the product. Please admins help on this issue as I understand it is very serious.

Problem with Zen Xt

I purchased a refurbished Zen Xtra back in May and had the player lock up on several occasions. It would eventually resolve if I let the batteries drain and then recharge. The last time it happened I came to these forums and learned how to enter recovery mode. I tried to do a firmware update which failed and now the player will only boot into recovery mode. When I attempt to do the firmware update I get the message player not connected. I can see the player connected in windows and can actuall browse the HD which is obviously now empty. How can this be resolved?

Re: Problem with ZEN MX >FYes, it's true. Creative Centrale is full of **bleep**.:robotmad: You can use it only to one thing. To convert films from your computer to their stupid format called "cmv". But even with this it's stil the same problem. This is crap, because sometimes you can do it, but sometimes not. Beside of this Creative Centrale doesn't have any good functions. For further users - don't install Creative Centrale! You will have more free space and do all things (without moving films to watch on your player) just from your computer and not this **bleep**.

T23 LCD problems

Hi there, I have a T23 that's developed an LCD problem. I've connected it to an external monitor, which works fine, and I guess it's worth mentioning that the LCD is not totally 100% black, but you can just barely make out the shapes of whatever is on the screen. My question is, does that seem like something that needs the screen replaced, or is it worth taking it apart to check for loose LCD ribbon cable, inverter board or plug going to the CCFL before I go to the expense of buying a spare LCD?
Thanks in advance for any help!

It's either your backlight (CCFL tube within the LCD) or your motherboard. I'd be putting my money on CCFL, which can be replaced, but it's a tricky job if you've never done it. I know that I wouldn't want to do it myself again.
If your LCD is a regular XGA (1024x768) it might be easier to get the complete used one from eBay for a few Euros. If it's SXGA+ (1400x1050) I'd suggest going through the trouble of having the backlight replaced, because these are fairly rare and valuable.
Good luck and let us know.
Cheers,
George

White screen on my 3gs, i would like to spot the problem if it is a cable problem or an LCD problem?

after dismantling the iphone 3gs and reassmble it again i got a white screen, i would like to spot the problem if it is a cable problem or an LCD problem?

Steps for iPhone white screen, #1 Reset. If fixed done. If the screen becomes normal, but then again goes back to white screen, fix is new LCD Display. If remains continuous white screen after Reset, then the problem could be Logic Board or LCD Display, in this situation try a new LCD Display hoping it will fix issue, but will not if problem is Logic Board fault.
Before opening and during all repair of iPhone 3GS make sure it is OFF. This is why you now have a White Screen, try not to make that mistake again.

Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

)Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

Problems with Zen 16GB (and contacting customer suppo

I got some odd problems with my player.. I tried to contact customer support with that email whateverformthingy but it just always returned me to starting page of creative (the one where you choose region/language) when I clicked Submit.. No autoresponse either.
So, GJ with customer support. I hope, whatever the problem is, it will be fixed soon.
Anyway, here's what I tried to send to customer support:
"Hey,
I got 6GB Zen at Christmas and its acting just plain weird at the moment:
When connected through USB player
*keeps blinking full green battery&empty battery with lightning bolt over it
*reboots itself time to time. I was about to move files over and it just kept rebooting every 5~0 seconds until I un-plugged it and plugged to another USB port - after that it worked for couple minutes at started same behavior again. After I got the player it worked fine, no rebooting on it own as I moved couple GB music to it..
When not connected
*player turns display on for couple seconds every ~hour~couple hours. It doesn't show any Creative or Zen logos, its just blacklight on with full brightness for couple seconds after which it turns off again
*the battery dies fast.. possibly because of the display blinking on all the time?
The player upgraded firmware on it own when I installed software, so it has been .20.02 all the time. Also tried reinstall firmware with the recovery tool.
Any help would be welcome before I start fix things with sledgehammer.
I'd guess that full green battery&lightning bolt over empty one means battery is critical? However, the player doesn't attempt to recharge battery. Unless I remember terribly wrong, the recharging animation is empty battery filling in blocks and getting empty again, if you understand what I mean.. Anyways. What really irritates me is the player rebooting itself when I try to recharge/move files to it and that blinking display on when I don't use it..
Any help? Someone go poke the guy who's supposed to keep customer support's emailform working?
-Lanka
..or maybe email form didn't like me suggesting sledgehammer.

Thanks.
Also apparently my first message did reach customer support through email form.. Suppose I was just expecting to see something like "Message sent" after I clicked Submit - not getting bounced back to region selection.
I'll continue this with customer support.

Mini - DVI/HDMI - Onkyo TX-SR674 - Philips 42" LCD | Problem

OK, I just got my new Mini (1.66 Core Duo) to hook up to my Philips 42" 1080P HDTV LCD. I have the video signal going via a DVI to HDMI cable through my Onkyo TX-SR674 Receiver. The reason for this setup is that the Onkyo receiver controls my video switching and sends the video signal through only one HDMI cable to the TV. That way with one press, I switch audio and video signal at the same time.
Well, the Mini works great with this setup... until... I start up Safari. As soon as Safari starts, I lose the video signal. I can run iTunes, System Utilities and it doesn't cause this problem. The video signal flickered a bit during a repair of permissions, but as soon as Safari brings up the Apple page, I lose the signal.
My video res is setup at 1920x1200, 60 Hz.
Any idea why this is happening. What in the Safari browser would cause the video signal to all of the sudden freak out?
Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

OK, I had no problems with a direct hookup to my TV and bypass the TX-SR674, but I was not satisfied with that solution!
I found other programs and not just certain webpages in Safari that caused the display to freakout in the old mode, too.
I downloaded and installed switchResX and it had two (2) 1920x1080x60 resolutions listed. When I choose the other 1920x1080x60 resolution, it works fine. Doesn't freak out. Not sure what is different about the second setting, but so far it seems to work OK.
If worse comes to worse, I could always lower the resolution and just have the TX-S674 upscale it to 1080 for me. I may do this eventually anyway since everything on the screen is a bit too small to read from my couch. Not sure on that yet.
But anyways, just thought I'd report back on my results. Thanks!
