Problem with Zen after charging on power soc

hey everybody,
i charged my Zen with a usb adapter on a power socket, it worked well, but after that it is not recognized by my computer anymore. it charges well, but i can't access it. maybe now it *thinks* that it is connected to a socket and not to a computer? what can I do? has? anyone the same problem?
thanks?

If you haven't already you should try to reset it via the tiny reset hole (use a paperclip or other suitable small instrument). I've had my Zen inexplicably hang with a black screen when connecting and disconnecting the USB plug (both to a computer and a simple USB charger).
I think it unlikely you've fried anything by hooking it up to a USB charger in good working order. The power parameters of USB devices are well-defined and USB chargers tend to be pretty interchangeable because of it. The risk is accidentally using a charger for some crazy device whose designers decide to use a USB-style connector as a convenience for themselves while the device/charger don't conform to USB wiring or specs. Then its anyone's guess what will happen.
I'd speculate the biggest electrical risk to the Zen is accidentally zapping it with static electricity through the metal tip of the USB connector while plugging it in.

    Is there a problem with the computer ?

    I have this too. I believe it has to do with a changed power state (or however you call this) since the moment of suspension / hibernation. I think it's even reproducable:
    1. Have your PC plugged on AC (respectively not)
    2. Suspend / hibernate your PC
    3. Unplug (respectively do connect to charger)
    4. Resume & login, voilà!
    So what I started doing is e.g. first unplug my laptop before I suspend and leave home... You can imagine.

    Would you let me know if this method helps you in any way, as I just got the Microsoft Service Pack 3 notice on my computer and am wondering if I should go ahead and install it. I will put installation off for a?while until I hear from other forum members about potential problems.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

    Hi,
    I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
    Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:

    Hi man,
    In the wake of this java problem I resorted to keep working on my old machine, and today in my spare time I tried to fix this new machine.
    So I execute $java on prompt, and then try to check the files it has opened, using lsof -p pid
    I see it referring to
    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
    isn't this usually the JAVA_HOME
    However, executing $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
    hangs!!
    but
    $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
    works!!
    $ pwd
    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin
    $ ./java -version

  • Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.9.1

    I am running into problems with Mail after installing 10.9.1. I had NO problems with Mail prior to this update.
    Problems I have encountered so far are:
    - I don't receive some e-mails on my Gmail account.
    - I have sent e-mails that supposedly got "sent" but do not show up in my Sent box both on mail and on web Gmail. My Outbox is empty also.
    Has anyone encountered the same problems and found a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes Paul I have, but no solution. I cannot send email. My ISP uses a smtp mail server for sending and It will not log in. Have had ISP on phone and checked all settings. Can only put it down to Mavericks.
    It worked OK for a week after upgrading then stopped. So now having to use web mail to send email.
    Strange thing is I receive mail OK, just cant send.

  • HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

    I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

    Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
    Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.
