Vision M 30GB no longer working or even turning

I have a Vision M 30GB. It was purchased just short of 2 years ago. I understand the warranty has lapsed but it is no longer even turning on. It froze whilst playing a track, when I reset it it froze whilst Re-Building and then shut off completely and will no longer turn on or anything. When I go to turn the player on the blue power light flashes on for a split second then goes off. I tried formatting the player with the directions you gave on the website but it didn't work at all. It has been freezing more and more regularly lately and I think the battery is dead. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it or if I could send it off for an inspection and repair that I would pay for.
Could you please be prompt with your reply as I am going on holiday very soon and require the player for it.
Regards
Kevin

I just bought the Creative Zen yesterday. Last night, after charging it and listening to it for about an hour, it shut off for no reason and wouldn't come back on. I had to hit the reset button, which I found?by chance?since there's no troubleshooting guide. I charged it some more, then turned it off and didn't touch it until this evening. Now it won't turn on at all, won't reset, nothing, not even when plugged into my PC. Zero power. Not only is it going back to the store tomorrow, but I won't be buying another Creative product
!!! Nothing makes me angrier than buying a totally defecti've product. I don't li've close to the store where I bought it, and returning it is going to be a hassle.

    iPhone 4S. Swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work. cannot restore iphone either as it wont let me.

    Hey Angus97,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to take when you are unable to Slide to Unlock:
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    from: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • Zen Vision: M 30GB no longer recognized by Windows

    I've had the player since Christmas and I've had no problems since today. As of this morning, whenever I plug the player into any USB port on my computer, I receive the error "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". When I check the USB port in the Device Manager, it's listed as Unknown.
    To get the inevitable out of the way:
    Yes, I've tried all USB ports on the computer.
    Yes, I've tried other devices that use a USB connection (My camera and printer) and they work fine.
    Yes, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
    I also have a AC adapter that still manages to charge the player fine, which I would think would mean that there is no physical hardware problem.
    As I previously mentioned, I've had the player for about half a year and it's worked fine. Why would it stop functioning now?

  • I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace cracked screen and now am told main part of I-Pod needs to be replaced.volume button no longer works, headphone and locking device also no longer working. Even though it all worked when given

    I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace a cracked screen. Told it need the main part to it. They said the volume button, headphone and locking part no longer worked. Told me to pick it up. When I gave it to them all components were working. Said because they weren't able to fix it there was no charge. Don't understand this.

    Probably when you dropped, kicked, smashed, threw, or whatever you did to break your screen it also damaged the logic board and the connections to the volume button, headphone jack and sleep button. Happens all the time. Apparently the shop you selected to work on it is not very good so take them off your shopping list.
    Then go buy a 5th Generation iPod Touch.

  • My connection via hdmi to my TV is no longer working. Even if I use a thunderbolt to hdmi converter

    Hi, the day before yesterday I turned on my tv which was connected via HDMI out on the mac mini to HDMI in on my TV. Everything was working fine, however I have been trying to set up dual monitoring on another monitor using an HDMI to VGA adapter to my second monitor but nothing was working. I was about to watch a film from the mac to the TV wen I thought it might be the resolution on the hdmi out why it wasn't working on the monitor but was on the TV so I changed the settings and the hdmi to the TV cut out. My main monitor is connected by thunderbolt to VGA adapter and works fine. I can change all the settings for screen resolution on the main monitor and have tried every setting on it then unplugging and plugging in the hdmi cable from the mac to the TV. I get the blue flash on the screen so I know it is being detected but here is where it gets weird.
    I figured I would try the thunderbolt to HDMI converter I originally bought for my iMac and again the blue screen flashes up but there is no blue flash or any sort of detection on the TV.
    The whole time there is nothing showing up on the screen, even when I unplug my main display from thunderbolt to VGA (the main monitor) and connect the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and plug in the hdmi to the TV.
    I know it's not the hdmi cable as I have tested it on my youview box to my tv and it worked fine.
    I also know its not the tv as iv connected my friends windows laptop to the TV using the same cable so it must be the settings on the mac.
    I have tried doing a time machine restore to the day I bought it and have had no problems so far until I changed the settings. Why oh why did I mess about with it!!
    If anyone can help please let me know ASAP.
    It doesn't show up the HDMI output in audio anymore either, however like I say it flashes blue wen I connect the hdmi but seems to have no idea that the HDMI is connected in the display settings! It's so frustrating. I'm going to call the mac support today but if anyone on here hash as any similar problems n fixed them please let me know.
    Btw I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4. I know I can connect via a long VGA cable but that's not really the point. I, at least would like to get my mirrored desktop on my tv back from HDMI!

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • 5g iPod 30gb no longer working

    Hello everyone,
    I have been using my iPod since I bought it in November last year, it was working fine until a few days ago...
    the iPod was midway through a song when it paused itself and I was unable to start the track playing again or turn the unit off.
    I reset the iPod as per Apple website instruction and the unit powered down. However I can now longer turn it back on. I have tried resetting it several times to no avail.
    Also, if I connect the unil to my power adapter or the USB cable connected to my computer nothing happens. The unit's screen doesn't come on with the charging icon, so as far as I am aware it isn't charging either.
    By the way, when the unit paused and ceased to work the battery was fully charged - I was only ten minutes into using it after a full charge.
    Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Pavilion dv6 hp true vision hd inbuilt webcam not working or even detected by any program !

    I've a problem with my brand new Laptop. my integrated  HP truevision HD webcam is not recognized by either I've the same problem. my integrated  HP truevision HD webcam is not recognized by either You cam software or even Skype or any other program.
    I already used HP assistant to update whatever need to be updated but still I face the same problem,. please help !!
    My Laptop is HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook 
    Product number : LS243EA#ABV
    Serial number : [edited by Moderator]
    operating system is windows 7 home premium 64 bit

    This is hilarious.
    **NOTE** I am a video editor who makes a lot of custom sports movies.
    I bought my Dv6 back in March. I tried the HD Cam once. It worked and I was amazed at how clear and crisp the video was.
    Fast Forward 2 months. For no particular reason. I go to skype my parents. But my camera won't work. I look all over the laptop for a reason it's no working. In two months I've managed to install custom programs for my A/V production with all kinds of add ons. Various other programs for viewing and testing. I've made several productions utilizing about 650GB of my 1TB harddrive.
    After checking out the web for a driver, I find HP doesn't have a driver on their support site for this model. So I check the forums and find this isn't an isolated issue. I call up technical support and after all the same troubleshooting I did, their fix is. Close all open programs, reboot, and restore back to manufacturer. That's it. No care about anything I've got installed or saved. The support person tells me this is the only fix. As HP has no known driver to resolve the issue.
    {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} kind of shady support is that? HP Distributes a high end personal laptop with no known support for a pretty well known existing issue?

  • Zen Vision:m 30gb doesn't work properly with Windows 7 64bit

    I recently upgraded my pc from an old xp machine to a new one running windows 7 ultimate. Creative says their media player software that originally shipped with the zen does not support windows 7, so i should use windows media player (the version that ships with windows 7; i cannot find a help dialog box with the version number). Creative also says that the zen vision:m uses only microsoft MTP drivers, so I don't need to upgrade any drivers and it should be compatible. However, although the zen vision:m connects fine and I can see the mp3 files on the zen HDD, I cannot play them in the main windows media player screen. I can only double click on files and play them in the small windows media player window without any controls. Of course, I can't import any of the zen mp3 files into the music library in windows media player or set up any playlists. I checked every menu item and dialog box that i can think of on my zen and in windows 7, but nothing appears to be relevant to this problem. Any ideas, other than buying a brand new mp3 player? TIA

    When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

  • Cannot get Air base to work- was even turned away by Apple tech support.

    I just recently purchased a used Airport Base Station-
    I am trying to set up a wireless network at home with my new iMac G5 and a PC running XP --
    My problems are: I can't get the PC to hook up and the admin Utility on the iMac wont see it- and keeps asking for a password - I have tried to reset the base station and get the admin Utility to allow me to make the changes but I keep getting vague error messages. So I can't change anything- Even during the whopping 5 minutes that are given to achieve anything when the station goes into reset mode--
    When in Admin It wont recognize the ability to change anything--
    Am I missing something? Should I attempt to upgrade the firmware? It says that it is in version 3. something It gets cut off no matter what...
    thanks for your help!!

    Had to purchase new wireless modem--
    Bought a belkin for $30!! Can't beat that!!

  • My copy and paste no longer works. Any ideas?

    Hi, my copy and paste function no longer works. Even using menu rather than short cut does not work. Any ideas?

    Hello Heather:
    Your second post is "interesting." You probably are a committee of one that moves to a Windows platform from an Apple one.
    In any event, if you want help resolving your Safari problem, post back. If not, best of luck to you.

  • My 1TB Toshiba External Hardrive no longer works on my MacBook Air

    I got a 1TB Toshiba External Hardrive and had no problems with it and added some pictures and everything to it however no it no longer works, or even shows up in the devices when i plug it in. I Saw that some others had the same problem and can't even find where they suggested to go to try and change it to read and right.

    Not that I can tell. Suspiciously, we did run a salvo of updates from Software Update and the problems started immediately after, but none of those appeared to be directly related to Airport functionality (firmware or otherwise). Just to be sure, I took the "safe" steps of repairing permissions, re-downloading the last combo update & re-applying it. I also searched for any firmware updates related to Airport. What's odd to me is that the firmware reported on her machine is different than that on mine. They're both Late 2006 Macbook models, so that strikes me as odd (but maybe it isn't). I wasn't able to find any updates that her Macbook was lacking, however.
    My (working) firmware is: [type] AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87), [version] 1.4.8.0
    Her (not-working) firmware is: [type] AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87), [version] 1.4.4
    Based on the card type, it doesn't appear that they're different chipsets, so I'm not at all clear on why the firmware versions differ. Was there a firmware update for Leopard that wasn't available/needed for Tiger?
    Also, I know for sure that there were no firmware updates performed during the last set of updates ... that's a more involved process, if I recall, not handled through the standard updater, I think.
    Thanks for the response!

  • I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.

    I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
    I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.

    OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
    Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
    Good luck,

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
