MY ZEN SLEEK IS WET!!! HELP

Hi!!!
My zen sleek is wet!! I drop it in the toilet.... :smileysurprised:
It turns on, but I can't see anything in the screen or listening something.... and I can't open it....
This happened two days ago, and I put it below an incandecent lamp to warm it and dry it, but seems that doesn't work...
In my contry doesn't sell it, so I can't take it to repair here.
Any ideas? please!!!

What country are you from? And did you order it off this site? IF it's under warranty, you can call costumer support and they can tell you how you can send it back the the Labs. If it isn't under warranty, then I don't think you can have it repaired. But do try calling costumer support or email them, they'll help you out. Good luck !

Hey, ZVM_00, I think these are what you're looking for. I'm not sure which one you want to buy but here they are:

As far as your problem with connecting, I can't really help you there. It COULD be your computer but I remember someone telling me to use a different USB port than you're already using. If it's plugged into the front of your computer, try using a back port. That worked for me (for a while anyway). Good luck to you two.
And try what I said, it may work!

HELP: Zen Sleek - can't access fi

If anyone can help, it would be most appreciated.
My player and my computer aren't communicating. the computer knows the player is there, knows how much space it has left on it, but won't show the tracks, nor can i add any. I can't get to the files at all from my computer.
It still works fine on its own, as a player. but i can't figure this out. i uninstalled and reinstalled the software, but that didn't help at all.
i've had the Zen Sleek for less than a month and this happened kind of suddenly. The only other problem i had was when it froze up on me for a while when it was like a week old. That and some failed file transfers.
any ideas?

Look in the "My Zen is not behaving properly, and/or won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" section of the FAQ post.

ZEN sleek wont go into recovery mode... help!

I am trying to fix an old (2005 I think) ZEN Sleek which has recently stopped working. Other half recently got a new computer and her new system (Windows 7) would not recognise it. I have XP & Windows media on mine, so with a bit of digging I found out how to upgrade the firmware on her ZEN. I did this this successfully last year, so her ZEN has now worked OK with windows 7 for the last 9 months - until now. Symptoms : ) Switch on - get spash screen followed by "Creative Zen" - then all keypad lights flash once and screen reads "Select music to play from music library" BUT none of the keys will respond. The only thing which responds is the OFF button. 2) Resetting using a paperclip on the little hole - gives EXACTLY the same response - only the OFF button works 3) Holding play/pause & resetting - exact same response - only OFF button works. It will not go into recovery mode. Connecting to PC. ) PC recognises it as ZEN sleek. screen shows "Docked" as normal. 2) Can access the Hard Dri've through Windows Explorer but not through Creative Media Organiser. Media organiser does not recognise that it is attached. HD works OK. Can save and retrei've files to/from HD via Windows. 3) Even tried reinstalling the new firmware again. It all upgrades successfully (it says so on my PC and on the ZEN screen) but still won't go into recovery mode. Anyone have any ideas or do i now have the world's most expensi've paperweight ?

IS THIS HOW YOU DO IT?
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

HELP: My Zen Sleek completely freaked out

okay, i have had this zen for a while the buttons stoped working, the play, stop, move up or down, or the up one level buttons don't work. the scroll bar doesnt work either. It will turn on, but the screen will be stuck on the last song i was listening to before it went into the coma. any advise is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to reset the player? I am not familiar with the Zen Sleek, but it should have a reset button on it

CREATIVE ZEN SLEEK HELP!!!PLZZZZZ!!!!

My Zen turns on but it only stays and the start up screen that says ZenSLeek, it stays their till the battery runs out i cant do anything anyone knows what to do!!!!!thx for your time!!!!

Detach the Zen player from your PC , and ensure that the Zen Sleek is turned off.
Connect the power supply to the player.
Hold down the Play/Pause button while inserting a paper clip into the Reset hole underneath your player, beside the data/power connector. Keep on holding the Play/Pause button while you release the Reset button. The Rescue Mode screen will then appear.
After the recovery mode has started, release the Play/Pause button </LI>
The player will display the following options:
Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players hard disk, it will not affect music files)
Format All (Formats the players hard disk - Note: all contents will be lost)
Reload Firmware (Reloads the Operating System on the Zen. Select this option ONLY if you have access to a PC and you have downloaded the necessary firmware to install.)
Reboot (Reboots the device). </LI>
Run a clean up then reboot

Creative Zen Sleek Photo Firmware Download does not recognize my pla

My Creative Zen Sleek Photo recently froze up. After restarting it, the "firmware problem" screen popped up. After reading up on it a bit, I decided to first clean, then reformat, and then reload the firmware. Everything went smoothly until I went to load the firmware back onto my Zen.
For whatever reason a screen pops up that says that my device is not connected to the computer, when it, in fact, is. I have tried several things including uninstalling Windows Media Player and repeatedly cleaning and reformatting in hopes that it would recognize it.
I have had no prior problems with the computer recognizing the device and I have loaded quite a bit of music onto it through this computer. Can anyone please help? Any more ideas? Anything will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks?

HelloHave a look at this thread http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ead.php?t=6328?I had a similar problem with a Zen Sleek Photo and I am sure that this was the thread I used to recover the player when a firmware upgrade failed. Regards?

Deanna,
Perhaps try running a Cleanup in Rescue mode first. Also, what are you using to transfer those music? MediaSource or WMP0? Have you also try different software to transfer and see if you face the same thing.

ZEN Sleek Not Recogni

I've recieved a ZEN Sleek a litle less than a year ago and it was working perfectly until about a month ago, when my computer suddenly stopped recognizing the player. I've followed the directions in the FAQ section and I've only been able to have the ZEN player show up in the device manager, but it is still not recognized by Windows Media Player or the ZEN Media Explorer. I know there's no problem with the cord, since the player is can connect to other computers and can still be used as an external dri've on my computer. I'm stumped as to what I should do. Any suggestions?

Maybe this can help you! It solved my problem on my Jukebox Zen USB 2.0.
I read this in an old thread, the tip came from SSR:
Try running a disk cleanup on the player. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

Zen sleek photo is detected in My Computer but not in WMP or Mediasou

Hi, my Zen Sleek Photo is having some problems.When it connects, the player says it's connected, it shows up in My Computer but not in WMP or Mediasource, so i can't transfer anything. I tried the fixxup thing and the registry edit but it isn't working!!!Any help would be appreciated...

No one at all?

Can't Create or Organise Folders on Windows XP Home with a Zen Sleek (2

Any idea why my home computer, which has Windows XP home version, won't give me the option of creating new folders or dragging/dropping files in and out of folders when I open the Zen Sleek dri've on 'My Computer'? And yet on my daytime computer (with XP Pro) it's as easy as anything to open new folders, drag and drop, etc. I, perhaps foolishly, installed all the extra software at home that came with my Creative Zen Sleek thinking this would surely solve the problem, thinking surely somewhere in all that stuff I would find a programme allowing me to open folders and re-organise my files....but no. The screens just remain sort of 'frozen', not allowing such basic functions. Please -- any clues as to the way forward here?Many thanks to the community for all the help on these boards!

Me again -- just looked at all my files in my Zen Sleek - none of the folders are there. Am I totally off base? Is the Zen system just something other entirely than folder based? Where does a newbie get up to speed? Many thanks.

Zen Sleek... any way to hook to car speake

Hello,

Is there any type of adapter or hook ups that will let you hear your songs in your car thru the speakers?
I only have a CD player... no cassette. :smileyindifferent:

Please anyone HELP!!! I received the Zen Sleek for my birthday.
If this can't be done, I guess it will get returned to the store or swapped for another type of mp3 player so I can use it in my car.

Thank you in advance for any help or ideas!
Have a great day!

Hi Whit!,
You will encounter this same question with another player aswell if you purchase one.
Check if your car stereo/CD player has any inputs. The manual should cover this. If you have an auxiliary/line input, then you're set, you'll just need the right cables to connect. Some stereos (like some Pioneer models) have a connection on the back that you'd need a special cable for, but once you have that you'd have an aux input.
If you don't have this, the other option is always an FM transmitter, it connects to your player and transmits the audio at a certain frequency, you tune into that on your car stereo's radio and you can receive the signal (so wirelessly). Check out this page for some more info (and a picture).
If you li've in the UK though, bear in mind that FM transmitters are still illegal there (last time I checked).
