Problem Charging Zen Mi

Recently I went to plug in my Zen Micro tothe PC, and to my horror it didn't start chaging and there was bar left. So I took out the plug and tried again, nothing. A third time, nothing. So I became freaked unplugged it and plugged it intot hhe wall outlet. no charge there either, so I did it a second time and it begane charging. So I unplugged it and plugged it bac in via USB and it charged. I was freaked after that. That was about a wekk ago. Last night it did the same thing. I had to plug it in 3 times via USB for it to realize it was connected to the PC and to start charging. Then after awhile it would act like I just put music on it which I didn't. Did that 2 times last night.
Is something wrong with my Micro or was it just soem strange occurance?

the volume bar was changed for .02.05.
when charging my blayer displays the number of bars and the lightening bolt and alternating between the two. when its full it shows the plug. and mine turns on whent he cable is plugged in.think its worth just waiting a while before juming to conclusions. try it out. but if you still have problems you may have to return it.
btw give the rescue mode features a try, disk clean up, might just help.

  • Problems charging Zen V Plus

    Can charge fine via USB connected to PC.
    Have purchased generic USB mains adaptor to charge device away from home.
    Problem is every time I put USB connector via mains charger into player it 'powers' up, I cannot switch it off.
    Is there a way of turning off player so that it charges?
    Or does the player only recognise a creative charger?
    Help!!!

    Hi,
    my brother had the same problem with a Zen MicroPhoto. He'd purchased it from the high street and got a generic mains to USB socket converter, he connected from the Adaptor to the zen with the supplied usb cable, and it never charged the Zen.
    I got him a creative charger from Ebay and that works fine.
    I think that the creative charger probably puts a voltage onto one of the data pins (or something like that) to let the Zen know that it's bee plugged into a charger, bit dodgy IMHO, if there's power on the usb socket - it should charge.
    Something that can be addresses in a FW upgrade Perhaps?

  • Problems Charging Zen MicroPhoto when 'undock

    Whenever I use my AC charger for my MicroPhoto the battery indicator does not appear to indicate the battery is getting anymore charge. I can see the green lightning flash icon blinking on and off which would suggest that power is being received from the charger but the battery icon is not filling up with 'green'. I have also noticed this effect when the MicroPhoto is attached to my PC via the USB cable but not actually in the docked state. The version of software is .0.0

  • Problems With Zen Touch Turn

    After just recently purchasing a Zen Touch in December 2005, I already have problems with it.
    I have never dropped it or hit it. I plugged it in to re-charge one day after using it and when it was done charging I turned it on, used it for 5 minutes then set it down. The next morning I went to turn it on to use it, and it wouldn't turn on. The blue light at the side on the power button was on, but the screen just wouldn't show up. Now the blue light won't turn off. I have read about these problems with Zen Micro freezing up and read about Zen Touch freezing up back in 2004 when it was released. I have phoned the number but couldn't seem to get through. Should I consider taking it in? Or is there an easier way?

    Have you tried resetting it's Connect to the mains adapter and press the tiny recessed button on the side of the player. Don't use anything sharp to press it, a bent paper clip is best.

  • Two problems with Zen Vision: M

    Hi all. I'll give my player's specs before describing the problem(s):Zen Vision: M 30 GBVersion .40.02 Anyway, I've had my Zen for about 4 months now, and up until now, it's worked perfectly. Recently, for the first time, it froze on me. I figure it was because I was shuffling through songs on random too quickly, as I see other people have had this problem too. So I reset the player, but it only rebuilt halfway; on the "Rebuilding" screen, the green line stops about halfway through. Now, whereas I once had about 2600 songs I'm down to a little over 000. I didn't think it was that big of a problem; I've either got all my songs backed up on my computer or CD. But when I connected the Zen to my computer, my computer couldn't read the device. Sort of, that is. My Zen can still charge through my computer and when I plug it into the computer, a message will pop up asking me what I'd like to do with the MP3 device. However, when I go to Zen Vision: M Series Media Explorer, I get the message "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen Vision: M Series to the computer." I went through the FAQ at the top of the message board and tried basically every solution outside of trying the Zen on another computer. I'm thinking it's a problem with the player, not my computer. It still acts erratically at times- like, if I leave it off for an extended amount of time and turn it on, it'll go into rebuilding mode. Other than that, though, it's fine. Could the hard dri've be corrupted Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem. It all started yesterday when I was installing the cd drivers in my new computer. I have searched numerous forums and some people had to return the product. Please admins help on this issue as I understand it is very serious.

  • How to charge ZEN V PLU

    hello,purchased a Zen player few months ago, and having problems charging it while not being around a computer. Is there any other way to charge it besides Creative's dc power adapter? ie Razor charger, or car to dc adapter with a USB port(does't work).

    Not sure why you do not see the disconnect symbol on the task bar however... If you see the docked Icon and is does not show dotted lines (acti've) then it should be save to disconnect. See the user manual that comes on the cd for the exact symbol (in the FAQ section). To see the docked symbol you will probably have to turn on the player - hold down on sw for a few seconds.

  • Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:M

    )Power and Sync problems with Zen Vision:MX Lately, my Vision M is having problems that when I plug it into the USB port on any PC to charge it, it lights up for a moment and then goes blank.
    When I unplug it and reseat the usb cable, nothing happens. When I try to turn it on, it's dead. This happens even though it's not fully depleted of battery energy.
    Pressing the reset button does not do anything. The only thing that I've found that will work is to open it up and unplug the battery. But even that is starting to not work.
    This doesn't happen every time I use it, but it is happening quite a bit. It's gotten to the point today that I can't even charge the battery at all.
    Any suggestions? I don't think it's the battery, as it does charge when I don't have these issues, but I'm not really positi've of that either.

    The connector on the motherboard check it . It may need to be resoldered. The last time I ran into those symptoms that was the solution.

  • Random Problems with Zen Micro? Try a diff. USB cable

    I know people have mentioned this in other posts, but I thought I would reiterate it here. Many people seem to be complaining that their player is not recognized, or only sometimes recognized, or recognized by Windows (as a USB device) but not by their Creative software, or songs won't transfer, etc. Well, I had some similar problems which ALL went away when I started using a different USB cable - the one that shipped with the Micro just doesn't seem to work consistently.
    So, if you are having problems with your player that you can't seem to solve any other way, you may want to try a different USB cable. It worked for me.
    Hope this helps - I am (now) loving my new Micro!

    I tried a different USB cable also, I thought that it would help, but I still got the same problems. I can almost guarantee that although you think you may have solved your issues, they WILL come back.
    I've also been experiencing the "Player Not Connected" problem with my Zen Micro.
    I've also had the problem where the Zen Micro just freezes in the "Docked" screen even after it has been disconnected from the PC
    I've noticed that these are common problems with Zen Micros with the new firmware (.0.03)
    My old Zen Micro with the old, original firmware did NOT have this connectivity problem
    Creative should investigate these issues associated with this new firmware, or maybe even making the old firmware available for download to see if this really is the source of all these problems.

  • Frozen problem of ZEN Stone p

    Hi all,
    I need your help with my ZEN Stone plus (2GB). It was bought last December. Recently, it always gets frozen?with the?showing of?"CREATIVE" letters?after I press the play button. I cannot get to?the menu. All the buttons lose their functions. I cannot even turn it off. In addition, my laptop doesn't recognize it'swhen I plug it into the USB portal.
    When I plug it into my laptop, the light for recharging is always on. It never flashes even if it is out of battery.
    I have?tried the "reset button". But it dosen't work at all. The same problem?repeats. Can anyone help me out? Thank you very much.

    $Re: Frozen problem of ZEN Stone plus Have the same basic problem, slightly different symptoms.
    Had just recharged my 2GB player (w/speaker) and added some songs and a podcast not half an hour before.
    Was playing songs one at a time but got distracted. When I went to choose the next song pressed the button up top to bring the screen up. It came up but then winked out. Figured it timed out so I turned it back on again.
    Showed the Creative screen, got to the "Zen Stone" screen and then just sat there and sat there. After what seemed like forever got onto the website and followed the directions about rebooting and restarted it. Same thing. Tried it again. No luck.
    Thought to hook it up to the computer to see if that made a difference. The player came on automatically but stil stalled. And? the computer doesn't recognize it. No icon of any kind, nothing in "Safely Remove Hardware" or a sign of it anywhere else. Even opened Creative Media Lite and it says there's no player connected. So I've hit reboot and have left it turned off.
    Thought about letting the battery run down but since I can't be certain it will recharge even though it lights up when connected to the USB - and there could be a solution but only if it has power - I'm not going to do that. There's nothing specific I can find in the Troubleshooting about "frozen log in".AND "computer won't recognize".
    I don't care about the files. But I haven't had a moment of trouble from it until this happened - no computer interface issues, battery life problems, nothing. I love this little thing. People are always asking me about it when they see it clipped to my shirt collar when I'm out. Haven't had it long and can't afford to replace it right now.
    Really hoping that it's something fixable.

  • Problem with Zen Xt

    I purchased a refurbished Zen Xtra back in May and had the player lock up on several occasions. It would eventually resolve if I let the batteries drain and then recharge. The last time it happened I came to these forums and learned how to enter recovery mode. I tried to do a firmware update which failed and now the player will only boot into recovery mode. When I attempt to do the firmware update I get the message player not connected. I can see the player connected in windows and can actuall browse the HD which is obviously now empty. How can this be resolved?

    Re: Problem with ZEN MX >FYes, it's true. Creative Centrale is full of **bleep**.:robotmad: You can use it only to one thing. To convert films from your computer to their stupid format called "cmv". But even with this it's stil the same problem. This is crap, because sometimes you can do it, but sometimes not. Beside of this Creative Centrale doesn't have any good functions. For further users - don't install Creative Centrale! You will have more free space and do all things (without moving films to watch on your player) just from your computer and not this **bleep**.

  • Problems charging iBook

    I've been having problems charging my computer for about a week now. When I plug in the power adaptor, it doesn't always start charging. Sometimes if I wiggle it around it will the charging icon will show. Today, with my computer plugged in, the screen was getting brighter and dimmer as the charging icon went on and off. It seems like there must be a loose connection somewhere. The battery is fairly new. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, you could make an appointment at the genius bar, and they could try out a known good power adaptor and see what happens.
    For the computer's battery to charge, three things have to be working--the battery, the power adaptor, and the DC In Board. A trip to the Apple Store should be able to verify that your battery and power adaptor are both good. Or not.
    Since wiggling makes a difference, there is a good chance that the problem is with the DC In Board, as Lyssa suggested. The power port is on this board, and it takes a lot of wear plugging the adaptor in and out. Often the power port's soldered connections crack and break, leading to a flakey connection.
    If so, the solution would be to replace the DC In Board or possibly to remove it and resolder the connections. You could possibly even do it yourself:

    The part is not terribly expensive, but it can be a job to get into the iBook. If you do decide to tackle this yourself, do post back for some additional tips.
    Good luck!
