My Zen (4gb) wont turn

I just got my Zen (4gb), but it won't turn on.
I charged it as it said in the manual, installed the tools from the CD, but nearly nothing is happening. The screen turns white, but then it turns gray (as it's shutting down). The things is, when I connect it to the computer, I can copy music to it, but still, it wont turn on!?

you should have installed the software first (before plugging in your player).
when you were charging it for the first time, was it working normally (i.e. you've seen the red wallpaper etc.)?

  • Zen 4gb wont turn

    Recently while trying to download a video from my computer onto the Zen, the Zen crashed. I left, as the conversion was taking awhile and I left the Zen plugged in. When I came back, the Converter said the Zen player was not ready, and it's screen was just black and the backlight was blinking.
    I unplugged it and the blinking stopped. I can't reset it, as I have tried several times so far. I can turn it on, and when i do nothing happens. When the Zen is plugged into the computer, the screen blinks. The computer also will not detect it. I have read around the website and have not found anything that can help. I do not think I have the latest firmware. I haven't updated it and have had it since Christmas. I'm running Windows XP professional.

    I had a Creative ZEN 4GB?that I got a lil before Thanksgiving... I recently sent it to Creative so they could send me a new one because of the same problem...Mine would started blinking while it was hooked up to the computer, shut off as I was watching a video, then it would not charge, would not connect to the computer and would not come on... I created a RMA and sent it back to them and now I have to wait for them to send me a new one...

  • Zen MicroPhoto Wont turn

    I have a Zen MicroPhoto that wont turn on. The Computer wont recognize it. The batery was fully charged when i was using it. I turned it off to go to class. Then went to turn it back on and it doesn't do anything.

    Take the battery out, and then put it back in. Try turn the Zen on. The Zen should re-boot, wait for the library to be rebuilt, and then you should have access to your music etc.

  • Zen V - Wont turn on at a

    Hi,
    Was jsut wondering if anyone had any advice or ideas. Just got my new Zen V 2gb yesterday. It was working fine until tonight when i put some music on then it all just stopped. THe player turned off and it all disconnected from the computer and stopped etc etc.
    Now it wont turn on, the computer wont reeecognise it (power issue i imagine). Have to travel quite a long way to take it back to store, so was jsut wondering if its a simple problem i have missed.
    Thanks.
    Mark

    Try to access the recovery mode: Hold down the "play/pause" button while pulling down the "on/off" slider. That's all I can think of. Good Luck !

  • My zen 4gb wont install on my compute

    First of all: I'm sorry if my english is a little?bad..
    I have a creative zen 4gb. What's weird is that it installed on my computer without problems at first. Then after a while I uninstalled the software that came with the cd(had some memory problem with my comp.) because I didn't think it was necasary for my Zen to work.
    When I plugged the player into the pc again, the gray box with installation of new driver came up, and when I was finished with that, it just said? "a problem occured, the device is not installed".
    I reinstalled the software for the player, and it still didn't work.
    I don't know what to do! I've tride the troubleshoothing on this page, and to update my usb dri've.
    Anyone have any idea what to do?
    I also read somewere that wmp could have something to do with it, 'couse I updated to just before the problem occured. If that can be the problem... could someone tell me how I roll windows media back to 0?
    Thanx

  • Zen Touch wont turn on nor cha

    i brought my zen touch 2 days ago, i charged it and once it went dead flat i put it back on charge and now it wont chrage at all or turn on. i tryed charging it thought usb but that wont world either. how suggestions?

    Hiroshima_X,
    Is this the Zen 20GB (looks like a Zen Micro)? If so, the reset button is located underneath the power switch (move it to the left and you will see a small button underneath, this is it). To get into rescue mode, hold the switch to the left and the press the reset button (keep the switch held until you get into the rescue mode screen).

  • HELP PLZ!!! MY 40gb Zen Xtra Wont Turn O

    I have had my Zen Xtra for about 0 months now. It was working fine just last night, but now today it doesn't even turn on. Is the battery dead because i always have it recharging? I don't know what to do, i don't want to lose all of my music.Message Edited by apexi303 on 0-3-2005 09:22 PM

    Just to answer that specific question, it's not bad for the player and shouldn't cause any problem.

  • MY ZEN MICROPHOTO WONT TURN ON PASSED THE " Creative " scre

    Ive had it since xmas....went to turn i on this morning and it wouldnt go passed then i've tried numerous times with the recovery screen etc...nothing...im guessing taking it bak is my only option. how annoying.

    Hi All,
    My zen has been down for the last week, hangs up on creative screen. I took the battery out and was able to get to the recovery mode but "disc scan" would not do anything(in limbo) and "reboot "met with the same result, nothing. If you want to talk to anyone at creative and are past your 6 month warranty window you have to pay $20 for the phone call. Well I decided to take matters into my own hands and spent yesterday morning researching old threads about this problem. I kept finding an uncommon fix. When you hold your power button on and replace you battery and the recovery screen starts up you wrap on the back with your knuckle, in my case I hit my zen face down sharply on my dresser. To my amazement the "Doobie Brothers" started playing and I have'nt had any problems yet. Evidently these systems have a hard dri've that hangs up. It may not work for you but it cured my glitch.

  • Zen Micro wont turn o

    [size="4" color="#0000ff">My zen micro isn't turning on now when i hold the button. The only way to turn it on is to connect it to the usb port. Is there anyway to restart it so it will work?

    If it's still within warranty then you won't pay anything (except maybe for shipping, depends on where you bought it from and where you'll send it to, I for instance would pay nothing as the retailer will take on the responsibility of taking it to and from the local Creative service)...
    With that said, the cover over the power switch can be removed very easily, just put the switch to the lock position, use a small flat screwdriver and GENTLY put it between the switch and the cover, then again GENTLY pry it open.
    Then examine the switch carefully to make sure that there's no dirt or anything else that would cause it not to work.
    Do bear in mind that although at this step you technically don't open the player (and thus you don't void your warranty) if you use a thick screwdriver or excess force you may damage the plastic parts and that won't look good if you take it to the service... you know what I mean?
    Hope that has been of help
    Cheers!Message Edited by Keyper7 on 03-08-200602:4 AM

  • Zen Micro wont turn

    Okay, so I am unable to turn on my zen micro! Nothing happens at all when I try to turn it on. When I hook it up to my computer the first page comes up (the one that says Creative), but then it doesn't do anything else. And I can't turn it off once that page does come up, I have to take the battery out in order for it to shut off. Does anyone know what to do about this? Please? I've tried taking the battery out - doesn't work. I've tried the thing where you turn the micro on and then put the batter in - doesn't work. Is there anything else to try?

    oh !
    the same problem happened to my muvo tx fm before.
    ok, look you need to go to:
    www.creative.com/support
    then go to "Contact Customer Support"
    then enter the info needed, then describe the problem that you faced !
    they should respond in like 24 hours or more !
    keep the firmware that you downloaded, and you will be told by the message to how to activate the recovery mode for your player
    my recovery mode was to press the play button for 5 second after i plug it in, after downloading the recovery drivers !
    anyway, you should do whatever they tell you to !
    do it
    cheers to all !
