My Zen (4gb) wont turn

I just got my Zen (4gb), but it won't turn on.
I charged it as it said in the manual, installed the tools from the CD, but nearly nothing is happening. The screen turns white, but then it turns gray (as it's shutting down). The things is, when I connect it to the computer, I can copy music to it, but still, it wont turn on!?

you should have installed the software first (before plugging in your player).
when you were charging it for the first time, was it working normally (i.e. you've seen the red wallpaper etc.)?

My zen 4gb wont install on my compute

First of all: I'm sorry if my english is a little?bad..
I have a creative zen 4gb. What's weird is that it installed on my computer without problems at first. Then after a while I uninstalled the software that came with the cd(had some memory problem with my comp.) because I didn't think it was necasary for my Zen to work.
When I plugged the player into the pc again, the gray box with installation of new driver came up, and when I was finished with that, it just said? "a problem occured, the device is not installed".
I reinstalled the software for the player, and it still didn't work.
I don't know what to do! I've tride the troubleshoothing on this page, and to update my usb dri've.
Anyone have any idea what to do?
I also read somewere that wmp could have something to do with it, 'couse I updated to just before the problem occured. If that can be the problem... could someone tell me how I roll windows media back to 0?
Thanx

Zen 4gb wont turn

Recently while trying to download a video from my computer onto the Zen, the Zen crashed. I left, as the conversion was taking awhile and I left the Zen plugged in. When I came back, the Converter said the Zen player was not ready, and it's screen was just black and the backlight was blinking.
I unplugged it and the blinking stopped. I can't reset it, as I have tried several times so far. I can turn it on, and when i do nothing happens. When the Zen is plugged into the computer, the screen blinks. The computer also will not detect it. I have read around the website and have not found anything that can help. I do not think I have the latest firmware. I haven't updated it and have had it since Christmas. I'm running Windows XP professional.

I had a Creative ZEN 4GB?that I got a lil before Thanksgiving... I recently sent it to Creative so they could send me a new one because of the same problem...Mine would started blinking while it was hooked up to the computer, shut off as I was watching a video, then it would not charge, would not connect to the computer and would not come on... I created a RMA and sent it back to them and now I have to wait for them to send me a new one...

Zen 4GB Driver Wont Install Prope

When I try to install the drivers for my new Zen 4GB in Windows XP SP2 (with WMP Version ); I get the message when Widows is trying to install the drivers for MTP device. "the specific service does not exist as an installed service". I have the Zen installation CD in the dri've as requested and all of the required Zen software installed. I checked the Device Manager and found the Zen device as recognized but with the big yellow question mark and the advice to reinstall the drivers. I tried to reinstall the drivers like before and experienced the same problems as before. Note installation failed the first time as I had purchased a faulty player. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Zen software 3 times and get the same message "the specific service does not exist as an installed service" when the drivers are being installed. Sync manager, of course says "no player connected" all the time. I also have Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 with a host of Creative Sound Blaster releated softare on my system. HELP!!! Lee

Zen 4gb Creative Certified Reconditioned?

Most of the problems I have seen on this forum is not fully charging the device.
You said you had it for 2 hours but it takes about 4 hours to charge unless it
had a pre-charge from the factory? If you are not sure just charge it "directly"
from back of your computer USB port for 4 hours. If it still doesn't turn on
contact Creative.
Looks like there is a electronic short or bad jack or bad earphones?

Creative ZEN 4gb compatible with Creative MediaSource

Hi,
I was just wondering if I can use my new Creative Zen 4gb with Creative MediaSource. I really like MediaSource and I would prefer to use it the only problems is when ever I connect it its keep locking up and crashing especially when I go to creative playlists. I used to use mediasource for my Zen Micro. Any suggestion? or does creative no longer support MediaSource with there new players?Thanks!

Strife04 asked the following:"Hi, does anyone know which Creative MediaSource Player/ Organizer is compatible with the new 4gb ZEN and if there is one, where it can be downloaded? thanks in advance.":?My reply:Which 4gb Zen?I have the Zen V Plus 4 gig and MediaSource Player/Orginizer running on a?Windows XP SP2enabled Dell.
This works fine for me.

Creative Zen 4GB bad memory sector

"Creative Zen 4GB bad memory sectork After a few months benI'venoticing that trying to load more media into my Zen gives errors like "Not enough space on disk" or "An unknown erroroccurred". This happened when I load files, it gets to around the 2.GB mark, and then files don'ttransferto it. I've tried formatting via the Zen onboard formatter, formatting it though the computer, uploading files though the onboard SD importer and though the computer. Ibelievethat a sector of my flash memory has died. I want to try and do a zero-out of the data, much like on a regular hard dri've, in witch this feels like the only option. But I don't know a way because of the fun limitations of<span class="Apple-style-span">MTP. And I'vebengoogling for months on how to fix this, but nothingusefulhas been dug up. Is there a way to fix the broken sector I have Macs, most WindowsMachinesand Linuxmachines, so I have no platform limitations. I would like for it to be as easy as a full formatinsteadof the quick-formats it seems to perform every time I try a conventional format.
Thanks, Zack

If all else failed (format and clean up), you may need to call tech support and send in the device for repair. The cost however is quite expensi've for out of warranty repair/replacement. :smileyindifferent:

Creative zen 4gb won't turn on manually and acting stra

My Creative zen 4gb can only be turned on when I connect it first to the computer, and after that, I can turn it on without the use of a computer. But if I don't use for a few hours, it won't turn on again, and I have to connect it to the computer again ( I can turn it on again, if I had just turned it off though). Even if battery is full, I get the same problem. ?I've also used the recovery tool to update the firmware, nothing's changed.
I've also done a clean up and reboot of the player. I still have the same problem. I've also noticed now, after doing all these things that when I play music, after a few songs, maybe 30-40 minutes after, it turns off by itself, and if I get to turn it on, it'sdoes a rebuilding of the files. ?Any idea how I can fix this? I've only had this player for a month or two only. I haven't done a format though... Thanks.

hello, sorry, i dont think i made myself clear. I meant by pulling on the on button for a split second will either make my device flash a blank white screen, or the side of device will display blue( like it will if the device was on) ?and the sound will fuzz for a sec, but neither of these will result in the device starting up. i just want the wonder if that is normal and will that damage the device.
ps.
i already know The correct way to start up my device is to pull down on the button for 2+ secs.

Creative ZEN 4GB is not connecting with

Hello Everybody!
I've bought CREATIVE ZEN 4GB mp3 player, and after some two months, i can not connect the player with pc. So i reinstalled my windows, because i thought it was some problems with whem. After installation, everything worked twice, and then, is the same problem happened. So i reinstalled windows a second time, but doesn't matter, how many times i reinstall them, it's same problem. After that, i've tried to contact costumer support, but all they tried to help me, was unsuccessful. So few weeks ago, i deleted the MTP Device from "device manager" And now, all the time i have a bubble on the left lower side at the screen, with a note: "Found New Hardware: MTP Device" And i can't turn it of, every time i do that, it shows again. At device manager, on MTP device i have yellow exclamation mark. When i'am trying to update driver, i have this error: There was a problem installing this hardware: MTP Device.
This Device Cannot Start (Code0)
The only thing i can do, charge my mp3 player. And sometimes i using the player on the really old computer, and its works properly, but the worst thing, that the old computer is not mine anymore, so i can't do anything with a mp3 player.
So if someone, has problem like this, and someone, who resolved it, please help me. I like this player very much, and i dont want to change it.
Thank You!

Yes, it is possible. On the right hand side of the player is the slider to turn on the player, push the slider upwards to the lock position and the screen will turn off. That is the Hold mode. At this mode, all the buttons would be inaccessible to prevent accidental pressing of the buttons. This is the mode to use when you are just playing music and do not need the display.
To unhold the player, just push the slider to the middle position and all the way down to turn it off.
