MicroPhoto Charging quest

Just wondering, will the micro photo stil charge if connected to my PC by USB if my PC is in standby? My PSP does, so I don't see why the micophoto should't, but I better check lol.

uhh may be a stupid question but does your computer have to be on for it to charge? is it just me or is charging by usb a bad idea because what if you want to put songs on and you keep plugging it in and out, doesnt that ruin the battery cause it will want to keep charging....

    Question, I charge my zen microphoto with my USB cord, but when ever I plug it in, it always turns on the player on. I then shut it off, but when I come back, the player is always turned on again. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
    thanks!

    I think the other icon that you haven't seen yet is the icon for the battery being fully charged. It's a little plug. It seems that you MicroPhoto is completely charged since when you unplug it the battery icon is green. When it is done charging it will shut down automatically.

  • Creative Zen Microphoto Charge probl

    hi i bought my player online over the internet. I bought a charger separate in HMV, does all mp3s. It only charges however when its says battery low on screen-can't charge it any other time.its really annoying. Whats do you think the problem is?

    The Zen MicroPhoto also charges over your computer's USB ports.
    Have you tried that?
    The Creative Zen Micro charger is only $9.95 and is designed to work with the ZEN MicroPhoto, ZEN Micro and ZEN Neeon.

  • Zen Microphoto chargeing prob

    I got my wife a zen microphoto mp3 player at the same time i was sold a compatible charger. If I use my computers usb to charge it shows a lighing icon when it is charging and when it is charged you see a Plug telling you its charged.However if i use the charge i was sold at the time you dont get the plug telling you it is chagred. If I buy the zen micro charger does it show a fork telling me its charged fully?

    microphoto uses oled screen not lcd. well for some reason oleds are cheap there better than lcd in someways but suck in others. uhh it could be that you got a fualty display id get it replaced or try the sleek photo. same price.

  • Zen MicroPhoto charging questio

    I was wondering how you could turn off Zen MicroPhoto from charging each and every time when you connect it to a computer? Can't the player be connected but stopped from charging?
    The reason I'm asking is because you will eventually wreck the battery if you keep charging it when it's not empty or near empty.
    If anyone knows something about this,please let me know.
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply. The other problem is the fact that when you set your player to be used as a removable storage disk,it still charges once plugged into a computer.Maybe Creative could fix this problem through a firmware update.
    The other thing I noticed is that when you put files on the part of your player that is used as removable storage,you can't access any of those files over the player itself (being either audio or photos). And when you plug the player in to the computer,you can't seem to copy files from the removable storage section to other parts of your player such as music and photos.Maybe I haven't figured it out yet,but from what I've tried to do so far,it just hasn't given me an option.

  • Zen Micro Car charger quest

    Will the official Creative Car Charger allow you to use the Zen Micro if the battery is completely dead? I bought a cheap usb car adapter and it doesn't seem to work correct at all. I am looking for a way to power the Zen Micro in the car if the battery is drained- I am assuming from Creative's product description you can use their adapter to power the Zen in the car if the battery is completely drained.
    We really like the Zen micro but have had continous problems with the battery. I've updated firmware and have done everything recommended in the FAQ in regards to conserving the battery. My wife primarily uses the Zen in the car to replace her cd's. It is not used that often (maybe 2-3 hours a week) but seem to not hold a chage at all. The only way we have found to fully charge the unit is through the usb port on our computer. So basically we are looking for a way to power the Zen in the car regardless if the battery is charged.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I'm pretty sure if the battery is dead the Micro won't work even if plugged in. I remember trying to use a demo unit at a store and the battery was dead. They plugged it into its charger and it still wouldn't work. It said it was charging but the battery had to build up a charge before it would work.

  • Charging Quest

    Hi. Can someone tell me how can I know when the battery in my Zen Touch is fully charged? Is it fully charged when it has the 3 bars?

    HooyahCQB: For the first 3 charges yes, but after that it's actually better to keep the battery topped up with shallow charges. More advice here in my Nomad Primer.

    I'm loving the Zen Touch.

    Will ZVM work with an Ipod's wall charger? (via that long slot directly under the player.)

    no.

  • Zen MicroPhoto Charging opti

    So.. I'm gonna get a ZMP... but I'm a little unclear on the charging methods. Will it charge through USB only? Because I'm going to be traveling this summer, so does that mean I'll have to buy a seperate travel-charger?

    <FONT face=Verdana size=>I charge mine through USB [ through my notebook ]
    <FONT face=Verdana size=>However there is the : ZEN micro power adapter [ http://us.creative.com/products/prod...6&campid=20435 ] Check the 'SHOP' button at the top.

  • Zen MicroPhoto whine quest

    I just bought a MicroPhoto and it is a sweet player. The only problem is that when it is idle and not playing I hear a faint high pitched whine. However this only occurs when the screen is on and lights are lit.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Seems like a bad ground. Do you think I should exchange it for a replacement?

    It's a known issue, presumably circuit interference. Search back for other posts on this.
    It's not the first time that a Creative player has had this kind of interference.

  • Zen Micro Charging Quest

    When the micro stops glowing when charging does it mean its done?

    I think you'll notice:
    a. At least when it's turned on, the icon changes from the shape of a battery to the shape of an AC plug when it is fully charged. I understand that it continues to trickle charge for about 30 minutes after that, though.
    b. When the unit is turned off, it will glow when charging and the battery icon will show up. When it stops glowing, the unit also turns itself off -- and the icon disappears altogether. I haven't been in the room when it was charging to see if it turns into a plug icon before it turns itself off.

    Thank u for all your help but i guess i couldnt make myself clear. I only want a yes/no answer.Can i charge my Zen micro Photo with an AC adapter with output lower than 000mA.Pls only yes/no answer

  • Micro battery charging quest

    Normally when my Micro is fully charged, the blue backlight turns off. The last time I charged it, the blue backlight stayed on constantly after a full charge. Is this a problem? Everything is functioning properly with the player, but I was curious if this means I should do a disk clean up or something. Thanks for any help.

    I'd do a Clean-Up if I did any major changes or loaded/deleted a lot of music or if I've encountered a repeated problem. This doesn't sound like a major issue at all but if it continues to happen and negati'vely affects the player in some way ( shortened battery life, firmware trouble, freezing) go through the normal trouble shooting steps which does include a disk clean up

  • Zen V plus charging quest

    Can I use the uni'versal travel adapter that comes with the Zen Micro to charge the Zen V plus?

    While I'm in this topic, I have a question. If I bought the uni'versal power adapter, can I play my Zen V while it is charging?

  • AC Charger Quest

    Does anyone know if the AC charger from a RIO Carbon will work on a Zen Micro Photo? The cords are the same, but I dunno if the hot pins in the USB 2.0 jack are the same, or if the voltage is the same. MAny thanks for any info in adance. -Citizenken

    If the Carbon can also charge via USB from the PC chances are it's the same, as pins and 4 are used for providing the power.
    It's been noted that you need the latest firmware to get third party chargers to work well.
