Muvo NX backlight Probl

I have a faulty backlight that doesn't work, was wondering if anyone had any info on possibly fixing the problem.

wilade,
Do you by any chance disable the backlight function in the Setting menu? If not, most likely it's a hardware failure.

Muvo C100 - Backlight display - No T

I have a lightly used Muvo C00. I know it is EOL, but it is still in fantastic shape except for one problem.
After a 2 years of intermittent use, the display has a problem. The blue backlight comes on, but I? cannot see any text, therefore cannot do anything but use as an external USB dri've.
Yes, it shows up fine when connected to my PC or Mac, yes I updated the firmware. Still has a problem.
I cannot find a reset button or hole to stick with a paperclip, not sure if it has one.
Has anyone had the same problem with their C00, and what was the resolution?
Thank you.

Solved the problem, but not sure if will work all the time.
First, voided the already past warranty by disassembling unit, removed plastic back, SD card reader, and seperated circuit board from front case.
Next, touched a paperclip to whatever pair of solder bumps I saw on the front and back of the circuit board.
Lastly, reassembled and tested.
I noticed the SD card reader came out too easily, so maybe that was the issue.
Date and time did not reset, so maybe the solder humps do not have any effect.
Whatever I did, it worked.
Thanx

New muvo, but old probl

Hello everyone!
Time ago, my MuVo (classic) was suddently dead so I bought a muvo tx fm 256mb. Now, I can't use it because my windows can't install muvo drivers correctly. I've got 2 pc with windows XP and both of them give me the same problem!!!!!
After some clicks on "my computer" It crash until I don't unplug the muvo. I can't write, read or do anything else with the muvo. Pratically it's unusable. It's nice because I had the same problems with my old Muvo!!!!!
I tryed everything's possible. I also formatted my pc, but the problem's the same

There was no need to download any drivers for Windows XP, it should ust be able to recognize the MUVO as a removable dri've, just like a memory stick. You can use "my computer" to install music files but you will probably have better luck with Windows Media Player or the Creative software.
Try to rollback your computer to before you installed the drivers or uninstall the drivers.
There is some useful information at: http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net/nomadprimer.htm

Muvo n200 recognize probl

i have muvo n200 256mb. i try it on friends comp, it wasnt recognized first,but in other usb port worked fine...

Try this:
Disconnect the player and then open Device Manager.
Select View Devices by Connection and Show Hidden Devices.
Under your USB connection find all entries for your player including ones for Player Recovery Device and remove them all.
Close Device Manager, restart PC?and then connect your player.

Hi.My mp3 model is MuVo?. I bought it 3 years ago so it's a bit old. Today, I think it have some choks in my pocket and I cannot listen music, it dont want to read. It's right : "Recovery mode v.00", I have some options... So I have format all my mp3. But it's the same problem, it dont want to read. But if I connect it on my computer, I can put new music and read with my computer. It's like au USB key, but I cannot learn music. Do you know how to repair that ? Is it possible ?Please, use simple words, my english is very poor. Thanks.

Hi,
If the player is in recovery mode then connect to the PC and try to reload the players firmware. This is available from our download section.
Hope this helps,

Muvo N200 BIG PROBL

Hello, I have this mp3 player almost 2 years, i had some problems wih him in the past, but none of them was so big as this. I was trying to reload newest firmware .20.04, everything seems to work properly, i did it step by step as they adviced on Creative pages, but after finishing reloading the firmware, i shut down?updating application and since then does the mp3 player no response. I can't turn it on, Pc don?t recognize him. So if anyone knows what to do (beyond throwing it into the basket), i?ll be very glad for any advice. Thanks a lot. Del

Muvo Tx 512 Probl

First; I did research for two weeks on the right MP3 playerand selected the Creative Muvo TX 52 over ten other MP3 players. The main reason , the sizeof the player and the arm band which came highly recommended,along with the 52 capacity
This was a Christmas present for my daughter to use while running and training in the gym.
Imagin how I felt when it didn't come with an arm band but with some "international neck strap"!
Secondly the thing can only load at the most , about 2 songs before starting error messages.
loading WMA files and yes I've installed all the firm ware and updates,reformatted to fat & fat32 with out sucess.
I tryed to return it to Buy.com but was purchased in early november and was out side of their return policy. Now my daughter want's nothing to do with it and I'm Stuck with a $00 albatross!!!!!!
Any Suggestions?

mikev,
What error messages did you encounter? Types of software used? Types of audio files transfered?

Muvo n200 1gb probl

I have a new, less than two week old, Muvo 200n gb player that just started giving me problems today.
I was running with it this morning and it just died halfway through my run. I assumed that the battery had run out so I put a new one in when I got home. That wasn't the problem as it powers up and then shuts down after about 3 seconds.
So far I have tried reformatting it- which didn't work.
I put one folder's worth of music back on and it still shuts down as soon as it powers up. The funny thing is that if I hook it up to my computer I can access those music files and play them back. If try to play the music through my player it just goes right to it's auto shut-down mode and doesn't even give me the chance to access any other parts of the player- like the radio.
Any suggestions?
Jon

I am having the same problem with my player. It started the second day I had it. I seem to be able to get it working by reinstalling the firmware each time. When it stops working it will turn on temporarily and then shut down. I can access it as a removable dri've but it will not run under it's own power. After I reinstall the firmware it runs for a few hours and then the problem starts all over again. This is a serious problem for me as I intend to use this on a three week vacation traveling without a computer to reinstall the firmware each day. I had hoped there would be a solution on Creative's website but all I've seen mentioned about this problem is in these forums with no reply from Creative. Come on Creative..what's the deal?

Muvo X-Trainer probl

Had my Muvo x-trainer just over a year now and has started developing a problem where whatever song you are listening to is distorted and you have to keep moving the headphone socket plug around to get a decent sound quality, although this is getting worse and worse and is just annoying to listen to now. I managed to find my reciept yesterday and typically I brought it January last year so just out of Warranty, Anyone have any ideas on what it could be or if there is a way to fix it's Ive tried different headphones so I know its not them.
If not I may buy the C00 as that looks quite good but dont want to unless this one can be fixed
Thanks for any help
Mat

If not broken then it could well be just dirty. (either the plug or socket or both)
It does sound like you may have poor electrical contact.
Not sure how best to clean the contacts, but you could start with a clean dry
cotton cloth (for the plug) and make sure there is no grease or grit in there.
Perhaps clean the plug, insert and remove it a few times, clean plug again,
and so on.
Do it carefully though, and don't make things worse by using the wrong cleaner etc
if you go down that route...
Hope that hel

Muvo 2 4gb probl

My muvo starting acting strange at school, wouldnt recognise it on the computers(3 differant ones) etc
When i got home i tried on my computer to find it doing the same but now also if you push the usb cable too far into the player it turns off my computer and removes power to all the other devices.
I need the information on it as it has my coursework on which has to be handed in by next mon.
Player works fine other than that.
Please help

It sounds like the player has a hardware fault and is shorting out the USB. The only option you really have is to get the player repaired, and it's very unlikely you'll get the same player back. It's best *never* to trust an MP3 player with crucial data files.

MuVo Nomad(?) probl

Hello, I own a MuVo Nomad(?) 28MB MP3 player. Alot like this one --> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006JHWQ/ref=nosim/02-0996-384052?n=72282
The problem I am having is that when I put a *fresh* battery into it, it does not turn on. And what worse is that even when I plugged it into 3 OTHER computers, it wasn't recognized AT ALL. This just happened one day and it upsets me. It was never dropped or otherwise molested. I am running XP and I'm sure all 3 other computers were too. I bought this player from a friend, so I don't have any warranty. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Not sure what the battery has to do with it. The Nomad has to be detached from the battery case to be able to plug into the computer.
Gi'ven that nothing else has worked I will give it another shot.
Well, that did not work either. The update failed on the same error.
Rant:
The Zen Nano I got yesterday to replace this is hosed up. Lasted 45 minutes in the gym last night. It just automatically shut off. Now whenever I connect it to the computer it automatically comes up as a player recovery device. Tried the firmware update and reformatting the dri've. Then it just went into an endless reboot cycle. CL tech support said to return it. Back to the store for a new one.
My little Nomad lasted for years without so much as a flinch. It has been through hundreds of hours in the gym, several trips into the operating room and recovery, and countless hours of fishing on the ri'ver. It has been dropped and had a baby slobber on it. It always worked perfectly without question. My Nomad was nearly indestructable until it met a kid with a magnet. What happened to the quality of these devices?
That Zen Nano was made in China and could not make it through a single workout. The Nomad was assembled in Korea and lasted for years. I really wonder if that has something to do with it's
Oh well time to get off my rant and dri've back to the store.

Muvo Slim Battery probl

I have the Muvo Slim 256MB model no DAP-TD0008 with firmwire drivers ..03
The problem i'm having is the battery refuses to recharge. My initial thought was that the battery died completely from being drained and just simply wouldnt recharge, so I bought another one from the Creative website. I've had the new battery in my possesion for day, and it too, refuses to charge.
I have used multiple usb ports on multiple pc's (with the firmwire installed on each machine) and the battery never recharges, no matter how long I leave the player charging. I am also certain that it is not the chord itself. This is because I can still format, add, remove, and edit the playlist and software on the player through my pc's. It connects just fine and the pc's in my home recognize it just fine. Even the "charging" symbol on the top right corner is displayed while it's plugged in. But anytime I unplug it, the player immediately says that the battery is empty, and then shuts off.
I've been digging through the forums and have not seen another post describing this same problem.
ANY help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

If the player are showing the charging symbol then it should be charging. Remember that transferring files drain lots of battery. Perhaps you should let the player charge for a little longer -2 hours without doing any thing on the player like playback/transfer/etc..... and see if it get charged.

Muvo slim connection proble

Hello,
I bought a Creative Muvo Slim MP3 Player.
I can't see my player at my computer. I have installed/reinstalled drivers and software many times, but it didn't help. When I plug it, player shows that it is connected, but windows don't see it.. I have Windows XP.
I have updated all my motherboard drivers.
Help me out, please.

Jarski
Open your device manager and check under 'Uni'versal Serial Bus controllers'. Do you have a Mass Storage Device listing there or you have some listing with unknown or an exclamation.
If the MuVo Slim is listed as Mass Storage Device under device manager then you may need to manually map your disk dri'ves, especially if your computer is connected to a network or if you have multiple dri'ves. We have an article on Knowledgebase on this.
