When I charge my zen micro it says battery low and stays on that scr

When I go to charge my zen micro it turns on and comes up with a screen that says "Battery Low" then stays on that screen. Any suggestions or do I just need to buy a new battery or is my player broken or what?

kind of hard to understand your message but i think i get the general idea.....it should say that until its charged........

  • Charging problem (Zen Micro Pho

    Hello,
    I am using one of those generic AC adapters from ebay to charge my Zen Micro Photo, and it doesn't seem to be working. The little graphic of the battery will show that it is charging, but the blue backlight doesn't pulse. I let it charge overnight and the battery is still half-full. However, it charges with the usb cord connected to my compter. I've upgraded to the latest firmware, too.
    I actually ordered two chargers, and the company gave me another two for free, and I've tried all four AC adapters - none of them causes the blue backlight to pulse.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening? Maybe the chargers are crappy? I'd want to know if the player itself has problems before shelling out 30 bucks + shipping for the Creative charger... Thanks.

    No pulsing would mean that the current is insufficient. But not to worry, the battery still gets charged, probably at a much slower rate.
    Typically it means the player isn't being charged, at least several other Micro users have stated that the player won't charge when the faceplate isn't pulsing.
    The Zen Micro is a lot more easygoing about which charger you use, particularly if you lock it or put it in USB storage mode (with the newer firmware). Worth trying with the ZMP, although I'm not sure if they added these features.

  • ZEN Micro won't turn Off and now won't turn

    Hi Everyone, hope you can help me out here.
    I have been using my ZEN micro for about week now and it was at first working fine.
    Then it started not turning off, so i had to pull out the battery.
    This is obviously very annoying, but it got worse over time.
    It now won't turn on unless i switch it about 30-40 times.
    What is going on, is there a way to fix it and is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks very much,
    Fern

    FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
    My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
    The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
    I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
    Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!

  • Charge a Zen v Plus from mains power and still play mu

    Does anyone know if you can charge a Zen V plus from mains power and still play music?

    Creative could save its Help Desk/Support people and their consumers <i>endless</i> amounts of aggravation if they simply included a Mains wall charger with every player.
    How much does a charger cost at the factory level when you make thousands upon thousands of units?
    As it stands now this policy forces people, many of them not very handy with computers [and by the sounds of reading this forum, not everyone in the world is running XP with Service Pack 2 and has all their computer's ducks in a row...] to troubleshoot their USB ports, hack their Registry, delete and re-install firmware and software.
    A lot of that is completely over the heads of people who merely want to listen to their favourite music and simply charge their shiny new Zen DAP.
    How many people give up when they can't get their Zen recognized and return it to the store, never to buy Creative again?
    One it too many when the solution is so simple and inexpensi've.

  • Have a Zen Micro (6GB) - Lost Software CD and Firmware update confuses me. Please he

    I bought my Zen Micro about 7 months ago and have been using it fine until recently formatted my computer and realized I've lost my software cd (the one that comes with the player).
    I tried downloading the Creative MediaSource Organizer/Player (version 3.30.2) and updating the firmware (thereby loosing all the songs I had saved in there. Ugh.) in my Zen Player and in the beginning MediaSource <i>still</i> wouldn't pick up my Creative Player. Then, I don't know why, it now works...but it works like a normal External HardDri've or a PenDi've would! It not longer has that menu thing (where there's a list of artist and albums) at the left side but simply folders under the Creative Player.
    Does anyone know where I can get the old firmware and download the required software? I <i>greatly</i> prefer the way my player worked before I updated the firmware/software and I would like to just have that back even if it doesn't have as much features or whatever came with the upgrade. (iTunes or something. Has no idea what that is.)
    Also, does Creative have a Service Center in Malaysia (specifically Kuala Lumpur) and can anyone tell me where it is or give me the phone number to call? I'm still under my warranty but this site doesn't list a number to call although they say they give Telephone Support until the warranty expires.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Cherish
    Edit: BTW, I <i>have</i> tried emailing Customer Support but so far, no reply, and that was...2 weeks ago, I think? And, like I said, the Customer Support section in this site doesn't list any numbers/Service Centers which is why I'm asking...Message Edited by cherish90 on 02-06-200705:25 PM
    Edit the second: Does anyone know if the confirmation email that Creative is supposed to send to your account after you send them an email isn't working? Because I just double checked my inbox and I realized I never got any confirmation letter. And I'm <i>very</i> sure I didn't accidentally delete it.Message Edited by cherish90 on 02-06-200707:38 PM

    LOL. I've sent in my player. FINALLY found the Service Center (for those in KL who want to know, it's in Berjaya Amoda, behind Low Yat and opposite Times Square) after asking the shop I bought the player from.
    And the guy who I talked to called their HQ or whatever and said that neither of the messages I sent (I sent 2; one shortly after I started this thread) were recorded/received on their end although I DID get the "Your message has been sent" page after clicking on the 'submit' button. And yeah, I used this email too. *confused* Maybe Creative doesn't work with Mozilla Firefox (the browser I'm using)? I think that's kind of lame, though, because FireFox is like practically as big as EI now and it's more user-friendly (the tabs are uber cool IMHO). Unless Creative has some sort of problem with Mozilla...
    *cough*
    ANYWAY...
    Yeah, I did download the PlayForSure plugin (although I have no idea what it's for) and MediaSource STILL picked up my Micro as something like a pendri've.
    Never mind, though. The guy I talked to - never got his name... - said that once you've upgraded the firmware to the latest (which is the one that needs all these weird plugins and makes the device an MTP [I THINK that's what it's called] device) you can't change the firmware back to the old one unless they send it in. So I'm sending it in. And I think they'll replace the software CD for me too, so that's all good.
    Thanks anyway, Jason.
    Cherish

  • Zen micro... please read and ans

    Hi
    For an apple ipod there is something called an ihome audio. Which is a clock/ alarm clock and u can listne to ur ipid while charging it... Is there anything like that for a zen micro.. From any brand. Like ihome isnt from apple its just made for apple.. Anyone know anything like that for a zen micro?
    Thanks
    GO YANKEES

    There's nothing identical that I'm aware of.
    The Zen Micro Traveldock is about as similar as you'll get, but doesn't have a clock. Of course the Micro has an alarm built-in.

  • When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

    when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.  Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in.  Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

    Hello s0ha1b
    If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • I was updating my Ipad2 and when it was done it went to the apple logo and wont leave that screen it also will not charge

    I was updating my Ipad2 and when it was done it went to the apple logo and wont leave that screen it also will not charge. Ive tried resetting and it turns off for a second then come right back to the Apple screen.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets.   It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly.  But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer.   I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • My FCPX boots up and then says restoring windows and stays there and never completely boots.  I've tried everything.  Any thoughts?

    My FCPX boots up and then says restoring windows and stays there and never completely boots.  I've tried everything.  Any thoughts?

    Please state what you have tried - there's no point in people here wasting their valuable (own) time trying to help you, only to find you've already tried what they are suggesting.
    Have you tried trashing your preferences?
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
    If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
    Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.
    If that doesn't work, move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is corrupt or one of the files in an event is corrupt.
    Quit the app, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X agian - keep going until you find the cause.

  • Laser Jet 1536dnf MFP says memory low and will not print

    Laser Jet 1536dnf MFP says memory low and will not print. Have tried hard disconnect and restart. Error persists.

    Hey ,  Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I hope you enjoy your experience here. I see that you're encountering the memory is low error status on your LaserJet Pro 1536dnf MFP. I would like to help.  For this particular error, I have found the NVRAM Initialization type of reset to be beneficial in restoring functionality.  Note that completing this step will reset your printer's wireless configuration, ePrint address, and other customized printer settings. If you have created a custom @hpeprint.com address it will be permanently erased. For more information on custom ePrint addresses, click here.   As HP does not typically make the steps for this type of reset available publicly, I will private message you the instructions you need.  Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution. Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.  Have a great day!
