Muvo slim battery charg

Ok, this might be a dumb question but i'm very green in the area of mp3 players. I recevied a Muvo Slim for christmas. After some reformatting problems, it now works great. (Thanks to this message board) Anywho, I was wondering how to know if your battery is charging? I know you have to plug it into your computer with the usb cord and I've done that, but does the battery icon flash or something? I think there is a little lightening bolt that comes across the battery when it's plugged into the computer. Sorry if this question sounds so dumb, I just don't know. :smileytongue:

Yes when it's charging, there is a lightning flash symbol flashing across the battery indicator.

Muvo Slim external charger compatible with Zen Nee

Hello.
I'm new here. I have a Muvo Slim and I bought the optional USB charger for the player so that I could charge the player without using my computer. I just need to plug the player using the charger to the power supply while the player is charging.
Now the problem is, I just got myself a Zen Neeon last month and I'm wondering whether the Muvo Slim's external charger is compatible with my Neeon? I noticed that both players are using the same USB port and I even charge them through my computer using the same cable. It would be very good if I could use the Muvo Slim's charger for my Neeon because it will save a few hours of electricity leaving the computer turned on everyday. Anyone can help? Many thanks.
Cheers.

I've heard the Slim charger works with the Micro, and the Micro charger works with the Neeon. So by deduction it should work. If you want an official answer though you'll have to ask Creative Support.

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.

MP3 MuVo Slim Battery

Hi everybody,
A few days ago I found my MP3 MuVo Slim didn't run. Besides, the MP3 body was expanded or inflated. The reason was the battery. As I had leave the MP3 kept for long, with the battery into the MP3 body, caused by temperature or any other cause, the battery was inflated?and this supposed the MP3 body was inflated too.
The problem is I couldn't find any shop that sell this type of battery in Gran Canary, Canary Island, Spain. It seems to be that there isn't any CREATIVE distribuitor here. What is more, the Muvo Slim model is out of catalogue. What can I do?
If I try to buy one by Creative Site, what would be the cost of the battery and total cost taking into account deli'vering expenses?
Is buying a new battery worth, or It's better buying a new MP3, or even better choosing a MP4?
I hope your anwsers.
Thanks in advance,
Bye

[MuVo Slim] Charging from USB p

Hi
Over on the Nomadness MuVo forum someone asked about how to charge a MuVo Slim when away from their PC as it charges via the USB port.
I answered that if all they needed was a powered USB hub then they could buy an external, self-powered hub and then connect the player to it, without it being connected to a PC.
Would this work or does the player need to be connected to the PC for the charging cycle to begin? Or does it just need the power that the port supplies?
PB

Yes, I also tried this with a CyberPower 420 MP USB hub that is battery powered with an on/off switch http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/CPH420MP.asp But even with that hub turned on, it would not charge the Slim unless I connected the hub to a PC.
I use the Zen Micro charger to charge my Slim when I'm not near a PC. I had read an SSR post on this board where he recalled that someone had said that combo (Slim and Micro charger) would work. The Zen Micro charger provides 000mA, which is high for a flash MP3 device (higher is good) from 5V. So I tried it and it has worked fine. (I had a Zen Micro as well as the Slim, so it cost me nothing extra.)

Need help - Error while updating the firmware of Muvo Slim using the recovery t

Hi ,
While I am trying to update my Muvo slim firmware using the recovery tool it throwd up an error. And from then onwards if I am trying to power it up it won't.
If I again try to update the firmware, it throws up the error that "Unable to Write to Device: Device Time out".
I am afraid that my Muvo slim got bricked. Can you please help me in recovering the same.
PS: My PC OS is Windows XP.
Thank & Regards
ksraghava?

On my XP system, the last time I wanted to reload the firmware, I had to remove all of my Creative software programs,?and then revert my Windows Media Player back to 0 and then use The Recovery Tool. It is a bit of a pain, but does seem to work when you are getting errors with the firmware download.
luvmyrescuedogs
Almost forgot. Make sure your player is fully charged or has a fresh battery before starting any firmware download.

Muvo Slim Question's

Hi dear's,
I use Iri'ver IFP-890 and 880 before.
But, i buy a Muvo Slim/256, now.Battery life is good, Earphones sound quality is good. Menu system/button design and computer communications is extreme good Sound level is normal. Sound quality is good.Radio is very good for a mp3 player.Firmware quality is very good.But i dont find answer for this questions...Plug USB, starting charge... dont empty, plug reply USB, starting charge.. ...... recharge, dont empty, recharge, dont empty, rechargeis this a problem for Battery
Is there a option for dont charge request with per plug... ?If answer is a passi've USB, i can !And my firmware version is ..03
is there a possibility for increase the sound level ? ( Maybe a firmware ? )
I like Creative Bye from Turkey.

The Slim charges off USB, so there's no way to prevent this from happening when you connect it to the USB.
This isn't a bad thing though as the Slim uses a Lithium Ion battery which prefers to be top-up charged.

Creative MuVo Slim 512 Mb can´t be recharg

I have only used one charge of battery of my MuVo Slim since I bought it about 0 days ago and now, I couldn?t turn it on.
When I plug it in into the USB port it the "z" marc of charging does not appear. It is like the MuVo is thinking that the battery is full (that is not true because was almost empty) and don?t want to recharge it.
After reading some posts here, I tried the "plug-unplug-battery-method" but It isn?t work yet. I installed the software that came with the device.
Any suggestions?

I have tried to recharge my Muvo Slim in another computer, but unfortunately nothing happened, in other words, the muvo still not recognize the battery. If I unplugged the USB cable when the battery is in the device, the display turn on for a few seconds and then the empty-battery-alert appears and turn off the mp3 player.
What else can I do?

Muvo Slim USB Cable

So I got my new Muvo Slim today, I install all the drivers then plug it in, it finds it. But then after about 30 seconds or so windows gives me an error saying the device encountered an error and connot be regconized anymore. So I try try a few different times and it does the same thing every time. Finally, just by chance I decided to try a new USB 2.0 cable, I have the exact same kind for my external HD only difference is my External has to PC end connections for power, I just didn't pluf the secondary power one in for the Slim player. Anyways, since I did everything seems to be working fine, it found it, installed it, and it hasn't messed up yet, the battery even charged. But here is my question:
The USB2.0 cable that came with my Slim, the screwed up non-working cable, says 28AWG/2C+28AWG/2C on it. But the one for my External HD, which I am using on the Slim at the moment says 28AWG/PR and 24AWG/2C on it. Now is there anything to do with voltage on these cables that using the one for my External HD might mess up or fry my Muvo Slim? Or is the fact that they are both just USB2.0 cables fine and nothing will happen?

All USB should be 5V, and cables are normally interchangeable and standard, so I'm sure it will be fine. Strange though that the cable was faulty.

Muvo Slim upside down disp

I have a Muvo Slim 52 firmware ..03 that became briefly immersed in salt water. When I turn it on it plays normally but the screen is uniformly blue and nothing can be read. When I disconnect it from the computer and press the menu button the screen is normal in all respects except that it is upside down. It will remain normal indefinitely but if I power it off and try to turn it on I am back to the blue screen. I reloaded the firmware to no avail. I tried to put it in recovery mode, but it won't seem to go into it. Is there any way to fix this?

It is dry, the battery holds a charge, and as i say, it works. Older models, but not the slim, had an option to turn the display upside down and so I imagine that a salt crystal perhaps is jumpering some area on the circuit board that does this. To that end I took it apart, 2 screws, no problem and lifted out the circuit board and cleaned it with a toothbrush. No help. But there is an area beneath the LCD which appears to be soldered on where i can't get access. Perhaps the short is in there. Next plan is to get some electronics cleaner with a straw attachment and blow out under there unless someone has a better idea.

Muvo slim just flash

Muvo slim is recognized as a dri've with all files visible, but won't play properly. Blue light and Creative logo flashing and battery reading full. Stays on when disconnected from charging USB and won't go off. Is this a firmware issue or hardware problem - before everything is erased! Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting battery.
Thanks for any help, I cannot see a similar issue here, it is just one month old.

try going into the rescue mode
here's the link on how to do it

do a firmware upgrade or a disk scan (if there is an option)

It charges via its USB socket, so you can't use the Xtra's power supply.
What is displayed in screen and can i use drag and drop transfer method from windows explorer?
It works as a flash dri've, so appears as a dri've letter in Windows Explorer.
Finally can i use the mediasource 3.20 softwear update i now use with my zen or must i input different mediasource version for slim than one i use with the zen? thanks matt
Go to Nomadworld.com downloads and you'll see the Slim listed there with MediaSource and the MuVo plugin.

MUVO SLIM 1 GB with firmware 1.13.02 garbled so

Hi,
Since a couple of months I have the following problem
After I have downloaded several times music to my player I get all of a sudden garbled sound. The other day I was listening to a podcast and turned it off. Then when turning it back on the again ( hour later ) the podcast was completely not understandable.From now on all other songs sounded weired as well.(metal sound ) Even erasing all songs and putting new ones had the same effect. The only thing left to do is to re-firmware the Muvo Slim again, then everything works normal again ( for some weeks )
I have also tried :
- not to upload the firmware , but just formatting the dri've in FAT or FAT32 , but this doesn't help.
- remove the battery for some time
- no mix of WMA and MP3 songs on the player
when listening to the mp3's that are on the MUVO player via the pc ( thus via the removable dri've) , there is no corruption in the files.Everything seems to be perfect.
So the usb flash dri've has no corruption.
The playrate seems to be ok , but the sound seems hardly recognizable.
I have tried to find something to reset my Muvo (instead of reimage ), but have found anything yet.
Please help.

Well, as I have said ,the problem seems to go away after I have done the firmware update again.But after a while the problem start again with no apparent reason
I always download the firmware from the creative website.
so at least I'm sure the firmware file I have is not corrupt.

Muvo Slim Format Er

Hello,
I'm am having some trouble with my Muvo Slim Mp3 Player. I got it a while ago and it was working fine until one day, all the music was erased and it stopped working. I tried to get it to work myself, having some knowledge on these kinds of things and all I could get was this error. When I was opening the Removable Disk folder it said "Disk J: is not formatted, would you like to format now?", I chose yes, and it would bring up a window. The program would run until the end, and then an error message would come up saying "Cannot format Disk J:". I don't know what else to do, and I've called up your support lines and they don't know what to do either. Maybe you have some ideas?

Please remove the battery and connect the unit to a PC.
Any data and/or music on the unit is to be lost. Do not continue unless you can accept that the unit will be erased.
Download the following firmware file:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0052&dlcentr ic=9425&Product_Name=MuVo+Slim&OSName=Windows+XP
Be sure to select "Format Data Area" before you start the upgrade process. Once the Close button becomes acti've, click it. Now, go into My Computer, right click on the MuVo 'removable dri've' and select Format.
Format the dri've in the FAT32 file system.
Use the safe hardware removal icon (green arrow near the clock). Once unplugged, you can replace the battery. The player should now operate normally.
If this is not the case, please contact customer support and request an RMA. Note that this only applies if the player is under 2 months old.
