ZEn micro still gets st

I tried plugging itin to the power adapter then turning it on. Then i the recovery screen came up and i choose reboot and it got stuck at the creative sign again. And when it eventually turns off o cant turn it back on unless i put in in my power adapter. Please help

chadownight, the problem in this thread has NOTHING to do with Windows, or ANY Creative software. When a lock-up occurs while the PLAYER is booting up (as is the case here), basically there's only two possibilities: (a) bad firmware or (b) bad hardware. (There may be a few more odd ones, especially bad formatting; but even that is more or less a variant of (a), NOT a software problem.) If you can't fix (a) by updating the firmware (and/or reformatting the dri've), it's probably (b).

Zen Micro not getting powered

New Zen Micro 4GB Player. (2 days old)
Was working fine and now suddenly, it's not getting powered on.
Battery had enough power before it became dead.
Looking for some help on this issue.
Thanks
Krishna

Thanks.
Your suggestion brought my Zen Micro back to Life. I was really happy but it didn't last long. Because the touchpad seems to evoke no action on the player. I can perform the functions (like playing a song) through the Creative Software suite while being connected to the PC. Once disconnected from the PC, Zen Micro goes dead, though the the battery is adequately charged (for about three hours). Still could not power on using the touch pad power on option.
Awaiting your suggestion..

Where do i send my zen micro to get fi

hi,
a few days ago my zen micro got wet(realy wet) and now stops at the first creative screen and only goes that far when pluged into the computer well anyway does any one know where i can send it to get fixed?
if you do it would be a big help.

You need to RMA your product. Contact costumer support and they will tell you how to start the process. You can also do a search on the forums I have seen other posts asking how to RMA a product (in other words, it means sending it back to the Labs and having it fixed, then shipped back to you). Good luck!

Zen micro and getting Zen Media Player to recognize

I went back to firmware .0.03 and reinstalled the Zen software after getting no where with firmware that works with MS media player.
I noticed two things.
the device installs differnently in the hardware profile between the two firmware versions
2 If I start the Zen media player and then connect my Zen Micro things work ok. If I connect my Zen Micro and then activate Zen media player things are hit and miss on detecting the Micro.
This just me or have others seen the same thing?Message Edited by summersr on 03-08-2005 03:38 AMMessage Edited by summersr on 03-08-2005 03:39 AM

Just a thought
Might try re-installing the software from the Zen disk (select repair option).
I noticed that it takes an extremely long time to install all of the parts and pieces and if you exit before it finishes you do not have all of the things the Zen needs to function.

Where to Buy Zen Micro and get all the goodi

Hi everyone. I have a MuVoN200 and I love it to death, but I am ready to move on to something bigger. I have had no problems with Creative and I would like to get a Zen Micro.
I've been reading on the internet how some people get different things in their box! Some have a belt clip/stand thing and some don't. I would, of course, like to get the most acessories for my money, so where should I buy mine to get all of the acessories?
I'm considering Target since I have a Target card . . . but Walmart is having a sale on them right now. I saw them in Best Buy, but the box was pretty small, not the tall one. Any input would be appreciated!!

I just received my Zen Micro from bhphotovideo.com for $70 with all the extras (charger, stand):
http://tinyurl.com/8qcro
However, it came in a box (rumored to be old, prone to headphone jack problem), not plastic packaging. And the firmware installed was only .0.03. This also makes me feel it might not be the newest model with the rumored fix for the headphone jack problem, even though it's from a high-volume reseller. For me, I'll just pay $40 for the extra warranty to balance my risk. Maybe ask Creative where you can buy a newer, headphone-jack-secure Micro with all the trimmings?

Zen Micro Photo gets a boost

...8GB @ $249 coming this September / October:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,895,847705,00.asp
This will give the YPod Mini 6GB a major run for the money. Looks like Creative is starting to get a bit more serious (and adult) about fighting the DAP Wars.

i reckon the zen micro is gonna get a major price cut after the released of the zen micro photo.
Ya, i was thinking the same thing. I was saying to myself, hey, i should get a micro once they go down in price. but then i realized i'd want the photo capabilities and would want the 8GB photo version.
I guess its a good thing. people can get a nice photo micro. and people can get a cheaper normal micro.

Various problems with Zen Micro, but getting smaller and small

Last night I turned on my Zen Micro and heard Led Zeppelin's All of my Love for about 4 seconds before the micro froze and started buzzing, reminding me of my Nintendo when the cartridge was dirty. So I tried restarting it several times and it continued with the same. I left it for the night, since I was at someone else's house and had not installed the new firmware; I needed to be at my laptop to mess around with it. In the morning, I looked up some stuff and found out how to access the recovery mode, which I did. I did all of the options, the last one being to format the hard dri've. I had already erased the firmware, but I formatted the hard dri've after I plugged it into my USB port and saw that it had been corrupted anyways and it was completely empty. Then, seeing as everything was gone anyways, I took the opportunity to download the firmware updates and install them, or at least attempt to. I got a message saying the battery level was too low, and to charge it before installing the firmware. I took out the battery and it ran on main power while I installed the first firmware. Then, I put the battery back in and installed the second firmware (newest) and it gave me the same error message about the level being too low. I took out the battery again, but this time it just turned off. I didn't quite understand so I just went to sleep and left it charging. I woke up and was able to install the firmware. Then I went to Windows Media and synced my library to the Micro. Bad idea. I don't know if it's the same with any of you, but I don't exactly love all the songs in my music library. It took every audio file I have on my computer and put it on the Micro. So I figured I'd just open MediaSource and do the whole editing thing I did before it got busted. That doesn't work because of course the music under Creative Zen Micro is different from the music under PC Music Library which, until today, were identical. Now. All I want to know is how I can look at the music inside my Micro in the same way I would if it were in my PC Music Library, where I have a scroll bar on the side with all the artists and albums and a list of tracks next to it. I need this because instead of everything being free and looking the same way it would in my downloads folder, everything is now in folders by artist name and it will take me forever to figure out which songs I do and do not want. Still, at least I've got it working now.

It shouldn't be, assuming you synced via WMP the contents of the PC Music Library. Ultimately the contents of the PC Music Library is irrelevant though as don't you want to edit the contents of the player? I'm guessing you're using the v2 firmware which makes this a little harder...

You can't. That's the problem with the v2 firmware. You might want to go back to the . firmware. For the differences in the firmware versions look at the FAQ post.

Zen Micro: Cannot Get Past Second Creative L

I just got a 5gb Zen Micro yesterday. And it worked fine...for a few hours.
It locked up so I took out the battery and put it back in. It got past the first Creative logo, the one with the Copyright 2004, but it just stopped on the second. When I press a button, the LEDs don't come on. I am able to get it to Recovery Mode, but when I choose a mode; a window to double-check pops up and if I click Yes, it switches to the next window. But it doesn't seem to do anything. I can't hear the hard disk working, but if I press buttons it does 'click'.
Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to make use of my replacement warranty earlier then I thought?
Thanks.

Zen Micro Keeps Getting Random Free

Just bought myself a Zen Micro 5gb yesterday. Updated the firmwire to the latest version--version .02.05.
The problem is that the Zen Micro keeps on freezing randomly during the playback of music. When it freezes, the only way to reboot is through taking out the battery and having it rebuild the library again. I'm quite happy with the purchase but this presistent problem sounds like it's going to lead to bigger ones.

It could be your musics that you uploaded into the player. How did you do transfer your music?... If you use MediaSource.. I would recommend upgrade that software also; from www.nomadworld.com
Try reload your music after you have the latest version of the Mediasource.
Have fun,
K

Zen Micro Limited Edition Still Availab

Is everyone still gettting the Limited Edition of the Zen Micro. I bought one from Creative, but wanted to get a red one for my wife. Are all Zen Micros still being sold with the extra battery?
Thanks
JeffMessage Edited by ride525 on 0-09-2005 06:4 AM

Well according to Creative, 35,000 zen micro special editions were shipped across the North America. In Canada, I was one of the last ppl to get the SE (special edition) Zen Micro because they are selling here like hot cakes... I went to school and told my friends about the micro, 90% of them returned their current mp3 players and bought the zen micro and i havnt heard any complaint from them. Most of them said it was a relief, because most of my friends owned an ipod / ipod mini and they said it was much better so...

Need accessories for Zen Micro-can anyone he

Hello Everyone,
I purchased ny zen micro a couple of months ago and already i am keen to get accessories. Does anyone know where to get accessories (from a proper shop like John Lewis etc.). If you do please send a reply as soon as possible
Thank you

In Japan, the remote comes with the Zen Micro (still doesn't justify the $80 dollar price increase!!). I tried using the remote and found it to be a waste. I wouldn't bother buying it. When I am wearing a jacket I put the Micro in my jacket breast or side pocket. When I am not wearing a jacket, I use the case and belt clip.
Unless you make massi'vely long playlists and would thus keep the Micro in your bag for LONG periods of time, the remote is essentially useless. It only has volume, puase, play, and next track controls, and no display of course.
Just my thoughts on the remote. The clip sucks on the remote too. It's too small to clip to the strap on my bag securely.

[Zen Micro Photo] Stuck in b

My Zen Micro Photo gets stuck in the bootscreen. When I turn my Zen on it says "Creative" and after a couple of seconds "Zen Micro Photo". While "Zen Micro Photo" is in my screen it does nothing. I tried to take out the battery and turn it on again, but still nothing. Only after a couple of hours it starts working again.
It als doesn't connect properly with Windows XP.
The problem started a couple of days ago when I activated the removable harddri've mode on the Zen to connect it to Windows 2000.
Should a reload of the firmware help?

See the section "My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" in the FAQ.

Problem with Zen Micro recogniti

It won't do anything for speed, but don't let that stop you. Keeping up to date is always a good idea. (If you ever try to copy a +gig file through explorer, you'll be happy you got this.)
If you want speed improvements, and you use DRM content, get the DRM fix. Note that it just corrects the problem on your PC, in order to speed up your device you'll have to format it to get rid of the old multiple root licenses.
