Where can I buy a new HEADPHONE JACK PCB for Zen Mic

Hi,
I have resoldered my headphone jack 3 times, but it has once again started malfunctioning. This time, I tried superglueing the jack to the board, but I think I have accidentilly short-circuited some of the board that the jack rests on with the glue.
Where can I just buy a brand new board with the jack on it's Or does anyone have a scrapped Zen Micro with the part lying around? If anyone can provide info about where I can get a new board, please let me know.
Thanks,
Scott

Yeah, whatever i<t is, you can fint it on Ebay.
Just be careful, some of the things on ebay are not always what they seem. Depeding on the price, you may be better off buying a new player.

Where Can I Buy A Tin Case For My Zen Mic

i have never seen sweets like that for sale, and i dont have general stores, so i assume it is in U.S only.

Someone please help me to find a USA to US power adaptor for the Zen Mic

Help ! I recently received a 40th birthday present zen micro from a relati've in New York, however the plug is the USA 'two flat pin type'. I have detached it from the power supply to find two smaller pins underneath so please someone tell me where I can buy the UK version of this 'plug top' from. Standard US to UK travel adaptors don't work as the collar diameter on them is too small meaning that the Zen's power supply won't fit ! I am desperate to try my new Zen out but I'm stuck ! Many thanks for any help.
Martin.

Thanks to everyone for the ti
ps.
I've gone for the cheapy uk shaver adaptor and it works fine. My zen didnt need any firmware updates but bizarrly the spare battery took nearly fi've hours to fully charge against the first which was just under three !
Lastly, does anyone know if the warranty is valid in the UK (ie Global) seeing as my zen came from the US.
Thanks again to all.

A question about the Flash intro for the Zen Mic

I don't know but I bet this is what you are looking for: http://home.ripway.com/2005-4/282720/microflash.wav (on the flash its a 7second song that just repeats) well thats what you were looking for.~Derek

How about a hard-shell case for the Zen Mic

I recently bought my Zen Micro and the one accessory that I still need to pick up for it is a case. Now I know there is a pouch for it, but what I really want is a something more protecti've to put up with the rigors of travelling.
I see they have the leather case which covers the entire unit and looks to currently be the best bet to offer some overall protection of the unit. But what I can't seem to find (either through Creative or a third party) is a hard-shell case. I'd love to have a good, solid clamshell-type of case (either hard plastic, or even metal) like you can get for PDAs. I've got a metal case for my Palm and I'm sure its been that device's best friend in terms of protection from all of the bumps and bruises of travel.
So if anyone fm Creative is peeking in here - that's my big suggestion for you all.
An if anyone knows if such a case does exist, please feel free to post back.

Gee I never would have thought about using a search function to do a search ;>
Yeah I saw this a few days ago - thank you - but its not quite what I'm looking for. If I wasn't clear, I am looking for a hardshell case that completely closes up the unit. This one is cut open on the front for access to the buttons. I was looking for one similar to the leather case where the entire unit is fully enclosed, basically with the only opening being for the headphones.
I do like the earbuds offered on this website - the ones with the little lapel clip spool.

Is there a driver for the ZEN Mic

ok so like my friends Zen Micro died and i offered to take a look at it, i beli've its the?5 GB one it could be the 8GB but its not the photo one, when i connect it to my computer it says it needs to find the driver, so i say it can look through the internet for the driver but it does not find it so for fun i try my CD that came with my Vision:M as they might share a driver i dunno it was worth a try but nope nothing, so i have been googling the driver and cannot find it, so my question is where can i download the driver or software or whatever i need cause obvioulsly this MP3 player is not plug and play so yah a link would be nice thank you so much.

ok so i finally found the driver and my computer finally recognizes it but now my computer is lagging it took forever for the media organizer to finally open and anything to do with the player takes a long time to load up, im trying to fromat the player to start from scratch any idea i downloaded the firmware thingy and i choose english and ten nothing happens....

Games And Extra!! for the zen mic

since the ipod has a couple of wack games..does the zen micro has any games to download since it didnt came with one..also are there any new extra features that can be downloaded.

There aren't any games on the Micro. Some people prefer it this way (to keep the player dedicated to its primary use) whereas others do miss things like this. The only way you can add new features is by upgrading the firmware, and the firmware downloads page will detail any new features with the download.

What are the odds? Repaired, New or Refurbished ZEN MIC

I recently RMAed my Zen Micro due to the headphone jack issue. Being the first time Im dealing with CREATIVE's customer service i decided to look back on past threads and I came across a couple that mentioned that for this issue Creative was sending stand-alone units believed by their users to be "refurbished", where most of them had other technical issues (back button malfunction, firmware issues. etc.)
My questions are:
Has anybody that had this problem got their Micro "Fix" or replaced with a "NEW" or "Refurbished" Unit's
If you got it fix how was your experience...better or worst?
If by chance you were lucky enough to get it NEW how was your experience....better or worst?
If you got a refurbished how is or was you experience with it....better or worst?
I'll appreciate your responses!
PS if any of the forums moderators (Catherina or Jeremy) could explain this process it will be also appreciated!

True, how can we tell?...but when you hear the world refurbish by definition it means: "restore something to good repair: to restore something to a cleaner, brighter, or more functional state"
this could mean many things (and just in case, Im assuming):
*An RMAed micro from someone else fixed and sent to you.
*A guinea pig from firmware tests with a new hard disk.
*The assumptions are endless... I don't work at creative.... I would fear the worst when I hear the word refurbish until otherwise they tell us how they do it!
The point of all of this is that we all spent hundreds of dollars on these gadgets to receive one that you don't know its past history, now if the tell me.... that they'll fix mine that's another story (mine had no firmware issues, all buttons work fine....) so all they do is mess with it and send it back. Many people in these forums had complained that their replacements had gone bad after a few months. I didn't spend that amount of money to go through a different issue every few months...truly is not worth it.

Zen Micro Photo Accu in Zen Mic

Hi there!
What I want to know: is it possible to put the Accu of the Zen Micro Photo in a "normal" Zen Micro? The Photo Accu has a greater Capacity (over 800mA, I guess)...so it should increase the runtime a lot! Has anyone tried this?

Great! Next question: where can I buy those Batteries? In the Netstores I only found the normal Accus for the Zen Micro with 680mA...

Hacking the Zen Mic

I recently upgraded from my Creative Zen Micro to an iPod Video(I know, i'm very bad. =( Would have gotten a Vision: M but Creative can't market anything if their li'ves depended on it. If they got it out in time for Christmas?) and well, this thing is collecting dust. I'd sell it, however I don't like to deal with all that stuff with ebay, etc etc.
So, i'm trying to figure out if there is something I could do with it's I there is a thing I notced with this though that i'd like to try and 'hack'.
It seems the paint is starting to come off on it from too much use.
I know this is an extremely poor picture quality but, you should be able to see what I mean.
http://i.tinypic.com/mkfxgm.jpg
I'm thinking of maybe trying to 'pimp it up' by maybe taking off the paint there and then the touch blocks or whatever they're called would light up and such.
Or perhaps I just take the paint off the whole thing and make it see-through?
I dunno, just thinking of what I could do to the unit phisically.
However, there's also hacking the OS? Has someone started on Linux for it's (I could imagine someone has tried considering, they always try to put linux on a device that has a screen.)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.Message Edited by Cybigamerz on 0-25-2006 0:7 PM

Erm.. Linux on a Micro...
I think there are limits to where one could put Linux to..
I mean, what would one use to input commands. And how would that be useful for?
I mean, I can understand why one would try to put linux in an Xbox;
The Xbox in reality is a Pentium III with a GeForce II graphics chip so I can understand why one would like to take advantage of this but a Micro !?!?
No, the best thing one could do to a Micro is somehow get his hands on a larger capacity Seagate ST -inch HD and upgrade it from a 4,5 or 6 GB player to an 8 GB (or is there a larger capacity one?) which already is a hard thing (to get yourself one, not the upgrade) since these HDs are not for laptop use but designed specifically for DAPs...
Best of luck to anything you'll want to do to it though...

Downloading Audiobooks for Creative Zen Mic

Hi!
This is my first mp3 player, so, does anyone know where i can download the 'Gorillaz rise of the orgre' audiobook?
I don't think you can from the itunes because its apple.
But can the Micro download audiobook tracks?
If you know, then please let me know.
Many thanks!

I know that getting the Zen to play them in order has to do with the id tags, so can anyone recommend a program that can handle the job?
Do the files have tags already? If not you can pull the data from the filename into the tag using a program like Tag & Rename or The Godfather (Google to find these).
Both of these should also be able to autonumber the track number field of the tag, which governs order, which typically they do in filename order. For more on order see the "how to make sure tracks play in order" link in the FAQ post.
Also as a side note how do I get organize the audiobook files on the Zen say for instance if I put 5 Stephen King books on there it looks like all the books are one album when I have put them on using the nomad explorer in their own folders i.e.,
Stephen King - The Stand (Complete Parts & 2 in stereo)
Stephen King - The Talisman (in stereo)
But when I go to organize the Zen all of the Stephen King will be under his name like they are all on album. I just got the Zen about 3 days ago and trying to organize it has been a BIG headache. Can anyone help me with this please?
To have books under different albums you need to use the album tag to diffentiate between them. For example those for The Stand should have that, or similar, in the album tag.

Can't restore firmware (Zen Mic

I had explained the issue to an email correspondent, but I guess I'm over my year so I'm not eligible for email support anymore.. Figure'd I'd try my luck here before I make the $2.99 CDN call :P
Here's what I wrote:
When I start my player, it displays "Firmware Problem" (I had erased the firmware), and goes into recovery mode. I've downloaded the firmware update I want (Creative Zen Micro Firmware ..0, I don't care much for PlaysForSure), but it fails to recognize the player.
I am not using a USB hub or anything, I'm using a true tried and tested USB connection coming directly from the motherboard. One thing I should note is that the firmware that was on the device before I erased it was version 2 (PlaysForSure). I had tried using the second version of the firmware (Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02), but the same thing happened. I am running Windows XP Professional SP2 (32-bit). I have Windows Media Player Version .0.572.545. Are there any software prerequisites besides the drivers? (I have Creative ZEN and Jukebox Driver 2.0.00 installed).
I have also installed and reinstalled the following:
-Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38
-Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36
-Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22
-Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)
When I try to install the "Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update" it will install the necessary software drivers, but still won't recognize the player. Windows sure recognizes it, and when it's plugged in the "Docked icon displays on the players screen... I can access the player through My Computer ..it only reads a 20mb "Storage Media" device within... I can even transfer a file to it, given it's an acceptable format for the player.
So I'm stumped here. One thing to note is that my girlfriend has the same player with version 2 firmware (PlaysForSure), and I can use the version 2 firmware update to restore the firmware on her device, yet the same firmware updater fails to recognize my device. I hope I haven't bricked my player
Any help/guidance is more than appreciated people!
On a more advanced note, is there any way I can manually copy the firmware from my girlfriends player (I am an advanced linux user)... I haven't tried playing around with anything like that, but if anyone has ever tried/knows where to look, that would be great.
Thanks all
Orion

My English is not well, But i know how to upgrade it like this situation. . Use Windows XP. (NOT VISTA)2. IF your XP install Windows Media player , remove 3 things,
Windows Media Player (restar computer)<
Windows Media Format Runtime (restar computer)<
Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack .0.0(if you see [Wudf0000] windows, put YES )<
Then, you can upgrate you zen micro use the firmware ZenMicroP4S_PCFW_L6_2_2_02.exe
Good Luck ^_^

IPod, Zen Touch or Zen Mic

I want to buy an mp3 player but I have no idea what to buy. I've read A LOT of reviews and I've basically boiled it down to the iPod mini, the Zen Touch or the Zen Micro. Unfortunately, there are no real reviews for the Zen Micro because people don't have it yet. However, one big advantage is the removable battery. Now, I need someone to convince me why:
a. Choose Creative Zen over iPod
b. Why should a buy the Zen Micro (5GB) when I can spend the same amount of money and get a Zen Touch 20GB? That's a lot of extra space to consider.
If you know any other good mp3 players, please write them down. I'm just looking for strong durability, good sound quality and a sensible interface. The battery issue is also a big concern.

A: Why Creative over Apple? Simple. PRICE. In my opinion, iPods are just ridiculously overpriced. Creative's products are at least priced sensibly.
B: I guess the major issue here is size. While the micro can easily be lost in your pocket, the Touch has more mass.
I, however, would buy the Micro instead of the Touch because the Touch's battery CANNOT be removed, whereas the Micro's can. So if for some reason you come across a glitch with the mp3 player, you can just pop the battery out and pop it back in, resetting the MP3 player. Also, if you need a replacement battery (since all batteries go bad after extended use), you can just buy a new battery instead a whole new MP3 player.
You can check out unbiased reviews/previews, here for the micro and here for the touch.
