Zen Micro - Rapid Scr

Hi Folks
I've just returned my Micro 6MB to Amazon.co.uk as I don't seem to be able to rapid scroll down. I was able to rapid scroll up so it's not my "technique" or lack of it.
My girlfriend bought one at the same time and is unable to rapid scroll up or down. Is this a common problem?
Thanks

I have no problem at all using the touchpad, at least it's not hard. It might be more a practice issue than anything, and understand the zones of the touchpad and where they are.

Zen Micro - Blank Scr

Ok, so I bought my Zen Micro 6mb a few years ago and it worked great. Then my computer died, so I had no real use for it, so I gave it to a friend to use. He started using it as a portable storage device, but when he returned it it didn't work -at all- anymore.
When I plug it into my USB, it does detect the device, but that is all. He told me he thinks he deleted the operating system on it, or whatever. Basically -everything- has been deleted. When I turn it on the screen is blank, except for the battery gauge.
Also, I looked through all my CD's and DVD's but I can't find my installation disc. I swear I gave it to him, but it was like 2 years ago and I can't remember, but he says I never gave it to him. Is this a problem?
I searched the forums, but since I really don't know what happened to it, I don't really know what to search for.
Any help you could offer is greatly appreciated.

If so many people are expirenceing this problem, its no just one or two player's that are at fault, maybe in the design of the player there was somthing overlooked.
In my opinion this problem is somthing that Creative should definatly research into, as it could affect many more players. Its not good especally on players that are not even a month old!
LCD (Liquid Cristal Displays) themselves don't just blow or go wrong, and its higly unlikely that this is what has gorne wrong, the problem may lay with the connection from the LCD to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) usually connected together with a flexible carbon track, sometimes these tracks can slip and make the display malfunction. This happend to my old minidisk player, if fixed the display problem by moving the carbon track - but i would not advise that anyone tampers with their player unless the warrenty has expired, and you cannot be botherd to get Creative to look at it.
But i would reccomend that in warrenty or not, you should get Creative to repair the problem for you, as searching for your music "blind" is very annoying and frustrating!

Zen Micro Frozen Scr

I power-on my Zen Micro as I usually do. The player turns on but i can not navigate through the player because the touchpad does not seem to be registering. Then, powering-off does not work either. I must remove my battery in order to turn player off.
When I boot into Recovery Mode, it is the same issue. I believe my device is defecti've but Creative just recently replaced it approx. 2 months ago.
Is there anything that I can do?

I have the very same problem! About 2 months ago my Zen Micro?broke (after having it for 3 to 4?months). I took it back to the store, they send it to the factory and i got a brand new one free of charge. This was about a month ago...today i wanted to turn it on and it just froze and i have to take the battery out if i want to turn of the player. This is ridiculous, i haven't done anything weird with it, i have a protection skin around it and it's only month old! I have been very carefull with it. Im thinking of going back to the story and ask? for my money back....im done with MP3 players,? i miss the CD players!?

Dust in zen Micro's scr

My zen micro has dust inside it's screen. Lots of it. I don?t know how it got there. Does anybody know how the zen micro opens up? I don?t care if its voids the warranty. Costumer service isn?t going to remove dust. Although... I could break the headphone jack. J/K

You should keep in mind that if you open it and void the warrenty, then ANY future problem you have (i.e. headphone jack, harddri've problems, etc) will not be elegible for warrenty repair either. Is dust under the screen really worth that?

Zen Micro Starting Scr

Hello,
I would like to change the lay-out of the openingscreen of my zen micro 5 GB and the EAX, it looks blocked. Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks a lot.

They are greyed out because Micro does not support Eax and neither the change of the startup screen. Look through the forum, I made a similar topic maybe 4 months ago :P

Creative Zen Micro - No Scr

** NOTE ** This is the message I sent to Creative support. But I would like help from everyone here, too. **
Last night I had been charging my computer, and
shut off my computer with my Creative Zen Micro
still plugged in. At that point, everything that
was on the screen became frozen onto the screen.
I turned in on, then turned it off, and
everything disappeared. I thought it was fine.
But earlier today at school, while listening to
my MP3 player, I went to change the song and
noticed that a bunch of jibberish was being
displayed. At that point, I had proceeded to
turn off/on my MP3 player again.
When the random assortment of letters, numbers,
and lines hadn't ceased to disappear, I
immediately turned off my MP3, took the battery
out, and placed it back in. At which point, I
turned on my MP3 player to discover... nothing
is being displayed on the screen anymore. I took
the battery out again, put it back in, turned it
on, and still nothing.
I am now at home and have backed up everything
that was on my MP3 player. I attempted a
reformat via the troubleshooter, (take battery
out, hold power button on, put battery in,
continue to hold power button, etc...) but
nothing is being displayed. Thus, I cannot
perform a complete reformat, cannot restart, or
do anything with it at all.
The screen remains entirely blank, even if music
is playing. You can press pause and it pauses,
or press the [next song] button and change songs,
but nothing is displayed on the screen.
I had acquired my Creative Zen Micro on Boxing
Day of 2005 (December 26, 2005), and have only
had minor problems such as it freezing
occasionally. I currently have a 2 year warranty
that I purchased along with the MP3 player in
question. Any help would be appreciated.

Bump. Sorry, but I would like a response. I have checked other threads about this issue, and to me it sounds like it is a hardware malfunction and I HAVE to send my Zen Micro back to Creative.
Update: My MP3 player has been sitting, off, for about 5 hours. I turned it on and there was a single blue line running across the bottom of the screen. At this point, I began to reset it again. Good news, the screen appeared! I told it to reboot, and now everything is working A-OK. But I DEFINITELY will not turn off my computer without unhooking it first. Biggest mistake I made.Message Edited by Rape_of_Faith on 02-04-2006 0:44 AM

Zen Micro recovery scr

I've had my Micro for about 5 months and love it, but it as of today it won't exit the recovery mode screen. I've selected the cleanup option, then rebooted the player, but the recovery screen keeps coming up. Also, when I try to organize my music on my computer, my Micro library won't load. Help!!!

If the player won't boot normally it won't be able to communicate with the PC.
See the section "My Zen is not behaving properly, and/or won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" in the FAQ post and if this doesn't help contact support via the Support > Contact Customer Support link on this page

Zen Micro LCD Scr

The LCD screen of my MP3 player cracked and I went to the Customer Service Centre n guess what they told me? I have to pay $255 (warranty does not cover that). They said I have to change the hard disk as well. I mean, I only want to change the LCD not the hard disk. Why must I pay $255 for? Now I don't know how I'm going to have my MP3 player repaired.
Has anyone experience a similar case before?

Better off just getting a new player for that price. How did it get cracked? If it was hit really hard I can see the need to replace the hard dri've as it may have some mechanical problems. But that can only be found out after you replace the LCD so you can see what exactly is going on.

Zen Micro starts with blue backlight and then fades to blank scr

My 2 year old Zen Micro which has had little use and few recharge cycles will neither charge, play music, or connect to my computer. I am hoping a battery replacement is all that is needed but hate to buy one if these symptoms don't sound like a bad battery. I have pulled the battery to "reset" it with no benefit. While plugged in I can hear the touch responsi've keys click but the screen is blank besides the charge logo and I get nothing when it is unplugged. It won't be recognized by my computer (Vista and new to the player) so I can't scan the hard dri've. Does this sound like a battery issue or are there other steps to try before replacing the battery. I contacted Creative and all they said was send it in and they will charge me no more than $35 for replacement if the repair is greater. If I had an iPod, they would look at it, swap a battery, and it'swould get solved in one minute at the in-store Genius desk. Thanks in advance.

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

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?

Blue spots on Zen Micro scr

Recently, a number of blue spots have appeared on my Zen Micro screen. These spots are there even when the player is off, and they're all clustered around the center of the screen. Any idea what they may be, or how to get rid of them?

If they appear even when the screen is off, then it sounds like something is physically under the screen, like bits of dirt or dust. Make sure it's not something that's just stuck to the front by wiping it with a cloth.

Zen Micro Photo frozen on Creative scr

Hi, I have had my Zen Micro Photo for three months and it has worked fine untill today. When I turned it on it went to the creative screen like it usually does and it just stayed there. I tried taking out the battery and putting it in again but it did the same thing. It doesn't even do anything when I hook it up to the computer. What can I do? I'm freaking out here please help me!!!!!!

It could be that the microdri've is "stuck" or in failure.
While the MicroPhoto is turned off, try tapping (well do it very firmly and with enough force) on the palm of your hand, restart the MicroPhoto and see if it boots up completely.
If not, a firm smack on a table top or counter may unstick the heads of the microdri've if that is what's preventing the microdri've from completely booting up.

Zen Micro 6GB Frozen to the Starting Scr

I haven't opened my Zen Micro 6GB about 2 months after I received it and when I try to operate it, it stays frozen to the screen with "Creative, Copyright(c) 2004, Creative Technology Ltd, All Rights Reserved" and stays like that forever.
I even tried removing the battery, holding the power to on, and placing the battery back in and nothing is happening.
Can you give me some pointers? Or should I so a warranty exchange?

tried giving it some more power? It could just be lacking battery....

Zen Micro locked up on "Creative" scr

My new Zen Micro is locked up on the screen that just says "Creative". I can't get it to do anything. I've removed the battery and tried the recovery directions. It will get me to the recovery menu but after selecting a function it just sits there. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Happened twice on the first two I had... I have still, serious issues with my third. I am contemplating abandoning ship..
