On/Off Not Working on Zen Mic

Hi out there,
I bought a Zen Micro about two weeks ago. I did my first recharge on it yesterday, and after the battery was fully recharged, now the on/off button isn't working. I can click it over to the power on/off position and hold it for ten seconds or more, and nothing happens. It does turn on when I plug it in to recharge, and shuts off due to idle shutdown, but I just can't power it up or down in the usual way.
Any suggestions?

Ohh, I'm having the same problem as you. Exactly same as your situation.
I'm soo worry! Cause yesterday my thumbdri've spoilt, so I use zen as thumbdri've, happily transfer those important data to my zen. In the afternon time, i still can power on/off as usal and save my data. But then later on, there's something wrong with the on/off button! So sad, now i can't store my data and i need a data storage to store all my projects and my projects submission is due very soon.
To power on my zen, I have to charge the zen or connect the zen to the usb cable.
To power off my zen, have to remove the batt!
I tried the rescue mode, but it didn't work.
Then I upgrade my firmware as told by the technical, the lastest version release on st July.
Thought that it would help, but it is just a waste of effort! I have to backup my zen - all my music and data! wasting my time in transfering data to and from my zen to my computer. Then have to d/l and upgrade the zen.
I'm so disappointed with my zen! Since I bought my zen from the IT show this march (3/03/2005), it has been giving me alot of problem!
. At first, i bought the zen, the touchpad was NOT sensiti've and I didn't know it till I went home and charge my zen.
Then the very very next day, I have to go all the way to Jurong to change my player! Got back a new replacement immediately. (5/03/2005)
2. After I got a new replacement, happily went home, just test the touchpad sensitivity and it works perfectly! But never did i realise that the back cover was very loose, any slight push would be able to remove the back cover. Wanted to go back and change but due to project and exam piling up and I thought the cover was just a small matter so I only went to change it on 6/05/2005 when I finish my exam. The customer service representati've comment that my back cover was very loose and he give me a new replacement immediately. Pray and hope that there will be no more preoblems with my zen but now, it has a big problem. ON/OFF BUTTON! Why i so unlucky?
So if i went down to repair again, it gonna be the third time!! how sickening is it's? Why so many problems?
Within less than half a year, my zen got so many problem! **bleep** sad!!!

  • Hand off not working on iPhone 5

    hand off not working between iPhone and iPad Air.
    Any suggestion. both using same iCloud ID's
    thanks

    Hi there SZkiyani,
    You may need to verify that Bluetooth is enabled on the devices as well. Take a look at the aritlce below for more information. 
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Use Handoff with Apple apps such as Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts. You can also use Handoff with some third-party apps. Start a document, email, or message on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.
    To use Handoff:
    On both devices, you'll need to turn on Bluetooth and sign in to the same iCloud account.
    Use one of the apps listed above on one of your devices.

  • [SOLVED] DPMS screen off not working with xorg 1.16.0, gnome 3

    After the update of xorg into 1.16.0-2, screen is not turned off by DPMS in GNOME.
    I also tried an manual command:
    $ xset dpms force off
    but it's not working.
    In other WM, this command is working.
    With xorg 1.15.2 and gnome 3, there is not this problem.
    When I entered the command, the screen turned off for a couple of seconds and turned back on.

  • 'flagged' to 'filters off' not working.  still showing only flagged images.

    Recent issue:
    when I try to switch from 'flagged' to 'filters off', it is not working.  The app is still showing only flagged images.  I can't access my unflagged images in the gallery at all.
    I have to exit the app completely to correct issue.
    I'm using the most recent update of lightroom 5.5 from the CC.

    A couple of things to try:
    1. Exit LR and then delete the LR 5 preferences file: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5. On Mac, you must then reboot.
    2. In the Library Filter Bar, select Restore Default Presets:
    3. If neither of those help, take a screen shot of the entire LR screen when you have Flagged selected, and again when you have Filters Off selected.  Post these here.  In the past, some others have experienced wierdnesses in the LR filter behavior, and a screen shot might give some more clues.

  • [Solved] xset dpms force off not working

    With the latest kernel 'xset dpms force off' is not working, now it makes my screen blink (off/on in one sec).
    With 'sleep 2 && xset dpms force off' and 'sleep 2; xset dpms force off' I got the same result.
    vbetool works.

    I finally found a way to fix it. With the lastest kernel versions the module topstar_laptop sends a event that
    get in the way:
    kernel: [43419.820250] topstar_laptop: unknown event = 0x82
    Module added to blacklist and until now everything working as should be.

    please help

    I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
    1. While booted to Windows I uninstalled boot camp
    2. Re-installed boot camp from Leopard DVD
    3. Installed boot camp update 2.1 (downloaded from Apple support, i know this is for XP only, but I updated anyway.)
    4. Downloaded the realtek drivers (high definition audio codecs) from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
    5. DO NOT use the Realtek installer to install the drivers...instead extract the contents to a folder.
    6. Go to the device manager, locate the High Definition Audio device and updated the drivers from here (point to the folder where you extracted the drivers).
    I now have sound out of the rear jack!! Hope this help someone

  • Volume and power off not working

    My volume switch is apparently not working.  And I can't power down or off .   Seems like both switches are broken.  It's possible that is due to small liquid spill.  Can that be fixed or is it beyond repair?

    Certainly it is possible because of a liquid spill. If you get liquid into the opening of any electronic device, you could have problems. Apple will not repair the device. They would perhaps offer an out of warranty replacement, if you do not have Apple Care + Which will cover 2 incidents of accidental damage for a $49 copay.
    Let the device completely dry before you try anything else and perhaps you should take it to an Apple store for evaluation.

  • Hold Switch On and Off not working - Always ON

    Hi,
    I am having a serious problem with Hold Switch which is all the times in ON condition though I am moving right and left. None of the buttons are working because its in Locked state. Hold switch is not working. Is it a product related issue where in I need to go to store or is there any way to make it work.

    Well it used to be that the iPods were not all that hard to open, especially with some simple plastic opening tools. However the new Classic line feature a brand new case design that to the best of my knowledge, no one has figured out how to open without breaking the case pieces. This is why if you look at many of the third parts battery sellings and iPod repair places, none are yet selling replacement batteries due to the inability to get into the ipod without ruining the case.
    That said, if you do have a Classic, then it is obviously still under warranty since it just came out. Therefore, I would hit up your local Apple store or send it in if you don't have one near by. The hold switch not working is a warranty issue that they should cover.

  • Touchpad on/off not working

    I have an HP Pavillion G7 and the touchpad on/off stopped working after I uninstalled some programe that the previous owner had installed. Is there a programe that I might have uninstalled that would cause this?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your original Touchpad driver ( probably Synaptics ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7
    After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

  • WMA 9 PRO not supported by ZEN Mic

    am I right that WMA 9 PRO files are not supported by ZEN Micro? If so:
    - What is the best WMA quality that _is_ supported?
    - are there any plans to improve support for high quality WMA?

    I'm not great on how existing formats translate to bit-rates, but I thought there was no benefit in going higher than 320 kbit/s, at least from a CD format as the origin. But as I'm not sure, I could be wrong...
    Creative ought to make the limitations in terms of formats and sampling rates very clear on their specifications pages.

  • Line in not working on Zen V P

    Hi
    I have a 4gb Zen V Plus, which has been working fine, but for the first time today I tried using line-in to record sound from the PC. Analogue, nothing fancy (don't have a proper sound card, just "on-board sound"). I can hear sound from the PC through headphones using either the headphone socket at the front, or the line out at the back (normally going to speakers). But when I connect either of these PC outputs to line-in on the Zen, and start recording, no sound is received. The recording level indicators on the Zen stay flat, and when I stop "recording" & play it back, there is silence.
    I thought the idea of line-in was that you could take any kind of sound - from a radio, tape, PC, whatever, and it could be recorded as an analogue signal. If you could hear anything from the headphone output of any device, it would be recordable to the Zen. Can anyone say if that's what's meant to happen
    Have done a search but can't find anything on this very basic question!
    Thanks alot - Jonno

    The Zen units are setup to be USB 2.0 compatible devices, which means they are not supposed to start pulling 500ma of current untill the computer has given an OK to do so. There is generally signals with a specific voltage on several pins.
    Without that signal the Zen units won't start charging. Unfortunatly many of the cheaper USB device chargers just put the +5v on the USB power ports and aren't setup to signal the device that its ok to charge. So the Zen device is never signaled that its allowed to pull full current so it doesn't start charing.
    It took me awhile to find a car charger/FM transmitter that worked with my ZVM and most of the cheaper ones weren't designed to USB specs to my Zen Vision M didn't recognize it.

  • I can't get napster to work with zen mic

    I have a creative zen micro 5GB player and have updated the most recent firmware. I have Windows XP with service pack 2. I have Windows Media Player 0. I also have the subscription for Napster to Go. My problem is that when I connect my player to the computer and turn on napster, a little box comes up saying that I have connected a player (and it tells me the name of my player) that is NOT compatible with Napster to Go and that I will have to pay per track. But when you go the list of compatible players, mine is listed there as number 3. Also, when you go to this website under the zen micro, it indicates that you should be able to use the player with the service. Does anybody have any ideas? I've done a mess of things to try and get this to work. Thanks

    not really 2 many ideas. have you remembered to download the application for play for sure as well as the firmware. i think its number 5 on the list. The 2 go together and wont work with out the other. You could also try accessing the clean up option and give that a try. Might update the player - sometimes they get a bit lost .
    other that i cant think of anything - napster also has a discussion page sure some of there members must be/ or gone through similar?

  • Line in not working with a Mic on Vista but working wth10.5

    Hi,
    I use everyday my headphone with a microphone everyday with Skype without any problems on 10.5. I just pluged the mic in the Line in input and headhone in the Line out.
    But under Vista 32 bits, the mic isn't working at all, I don't have a sound when I speak in the mic, and in the Audio panel of Vista, the line in Setup button is unavailable (but it is for the built-in mic).
    If I invert the mic and headphone in the entries (I mean physicaly), and speak loudly in the headphone, I have a level...
    Honnestly, I don't understant.
    For information, I still have the last beta drivers, I just saw that the 10.5 DVD have the last drivers (and it seems 64bit drivers, yeahh!)
