That's the greatest problem with new emerging technologies. I do agree, however, that the wire creates much inconvinience, but I still can't bear to part with the superb sound quality of the Micro.

Zen micro connection problem. please he

Hey all,
So my 5gb zen micro had the headphone jack problem and i sent it back for replacement. I've just got it back today and tried to load songs into it but my zen micro could not be detected by the computer. My previous zen micro was version .0.03 (purchased in december 2004). my new zen micro is version ..0.
please help, thanks!

what error message to you get, does the micro think its detected, is it charging and all that. that firmware will let the computer detect the player in the same way as your old one.
have u looked in device manager to see if its a problem device?
basic suggestion try to work out where the problem lies, test it on another usb cable, another usb port another computer. try and find out where the problem lies, then its easier to help.

Zen Micro - Loose Headphone Connect

I bought a Zen Micro last december and I love it.
Unfortunately it has recently developed a problem. It seems that there is a problem with the headphone socket as I keep losing sound volume/stereo quality etc as if the headphones are not seated correctly in the socket. On investigation, if I move the headphone socket only very slightly (as happens in normal use) I lose the sound quality. A quick waggle of the cable and the sound usually restores only to go again later. As you can imaging this is extremely annoying.
To me this is a hardware problem with the socket itself and will only be rectified by me sending the player back under warranty to be fixed.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found any other solution other than sending the player back under warranty?

Yep, quite a few people have had this (just type "headphone socket" into search to see).
Depending on where you are (you don't give any location information in your profile) you will either be under the parts only (e.g. USA) or full warranty (e.g. in Europe). Contact Creative Support to return your player for a replacement.

Zen Micro w/ Headphone Jack Problem: RMA or n

Hi everyone,
I have a silver Zen Micro, and am currently experiencing this very annoying headphone jack problem where sound gets distorted depending on how I move the headphone jack. Additionally, my player turns on by itself occasionally when it's in my pocket-- I'm not really sure what kind of problem that is, but it's very fraustrating nonetheless.
I bought my player in late November, and it's already past the three month full warranty period, so I've been told that if I send it back for RMA, I will need to pay a $40 admininistrati've fee. Thing is, I'm a student in college, and don't have the money to pay for both shipping and repairs. And I don't really want to open my player up and risk damaging it either.
What do you think is the best course of action? Should I just send it back and pay $40? How reliable is the RMA process-- and what would happen if the same problem occurs again? Pay for shipping & repairs another time?!
Thanks,
Mark

Yes I totally agree with you man the problem is VERY annoying. This is my second Micro I got from Creative and it is having the same problem as the original one I bought and had to send in for 'repairs'... I'm not sure if I am still under the warranty but i dont want to go through the whole annoying process of doing the RMA stuff and possibly paying for the repairs. I just might do it myself... But the Mini is looking very nice right now.... :smileyvery-happy: Just joking.

Creative Zen Micro problem! PLEASE HELP

can anyone help me please?
I am on my 3rd replacement for my Zen Micro. I have had problems with switching my Zen on and for it to even attempt to function properly. I turn on my Zen and once the screen turns back to the song that i was playing when i previously turned it off, it plays about 2 seconds of the song and then releases an unpleasant high pitched drone in my ears. This happens 9 times out of 0 whenever i switch on my Zen.
I am doing nothing different whatsoever, other than listening to it throughout the day. It still has 4GB left! I really am very upset about it all.
This is now getting ridiculous. I have rebooted it, uploaded firmware, formatted my Zen and wiped it then put all of the music back on, "cleaned it up" and still i have problems. I am VERY angry, frustrated and completely disappointed in this product. I have never found so many problems with a product!
Please let me know what can be done.
I have emailed Creative Support 4 times in the past week and i have had nothing in return. I need a new player as i use it every day. I cant get a refund (i dont think) because it was a gift and my dad bought it online. I just want a working Creative mp3 player.
Thanks!

It sounds like you've tried everything as far as troubleshooting goes (updating firmware, the options in Recovery Mode). Unfortunately it does look like there is a problem with your player then.
You didn't mention when you originally got the player (the first one, or your last replacement), but in any case it would be best to speak to Customer Support and outline the problems you've been having, and let them know you're not happy, to see what they can do for you.
Regarding e-mail, did you get an auto response back? If not, check your spam filter (if you have one), as you will always get an auto response back when you e-mail us or use the webform. If you did get the auto response, check over it, as usually you are meant to reply to it if the included basic tips don't help, so that someone will deal with your mail directly.

ZEN MICRO: MY HEADPHONE JACK IS BROK

My headphone jack is broken. Does anyone know how to fix it's?When I stick my headphones into the jack, I can still hear sound, but it depends on how I'm holding my mp3 player. If i hold it in a certain position, only one headphone might work or one might be louder than the other one. I don't know what's wrong and this problem is really bugging me. Somebody HELPP!

It's faulty and must be replaced by Creative. Is your warranty still in effect? How long have you own your Micro? If you li've in the U.S, the first 90 days of your warranty will cover Parts & Labor, after 90 days you will have 9 months left of Parts only. Labor will cost you around $25 I think. And you have to pay for shipping and handling to Creative.
Or you can fix it yourself if you know you are going to void the warranty and know how to use a soldering iron or know someone that knows how to fix electronics. Creative isn't going to fix that headphone jack, they will only replace it. That doesn't mean you won't get a headphone jack problem again.
Not sure if this is a common problem throughout Zen Micros.
I own my Micro for almost a year now, no serious problems yet. I did have a small incident with the sound but hopefully it was just an accident and I didn't push my headphones all the way in.
Causes of the headphone jack could be Creative's fault in manufacturing it, normal wear and tear, forcefully plugging in/out the headphones, causing pressure to the headphone jack when your headphones are plugged in, and/or wrapping the headphones around the player.

Zen Micro Photo Problems- Please He

Hi all, I have enjoyed my zen micro photo for the past year with relati'vely little problem, but recently when i plug the zen in, it won't light up nor charge and seems like the computer didn't even know it's plugged in. Another serious problem is that if i do get it to charge, after i remove the zen from the computer, it won't turn back on! and it also keeps shutting down by itself if the heaven was merciful that day and the zen managed to turn on. Any solutions? Please help me!

Just Got a Refurb Zen Micro, Can Anyone Please Help - Clic

Hi all,
Just got a Zen Micro 6GB refurb today, when i first tried it (before hooking upto a PC) the clicker didnt work. I hooked it upto my PC and transferred some tracks, when i disconnected however my device started playing up.
When i turned the device on the screen glowed blue for 5 or so seconds, and then turned off. My first (panicked) thought was that the player was updating its firmware when i had unplugged it, although it didnt mention this anywhere.
What was interesting however was while the device was in this "blue screen" mode, when i scrolled up and down the clicker made a clicking sound, even though i couldnt see what i was scrolling because the screen was dead apart from the backlight. This proved that the clicker did physically work.
I reconnected to the PC in some vein hope of fixing it, and after a couple of on/off cycles it booted, and has worked fine since, however when i set the clicker on it still wont click.
I am interested as to if anyone has any ideas as to how to possibly fix my clicker problem. I know it will physically work as i've heard it click when my device crashed, i reckon a bad firmware flash has stopped my clicker clicking.
Can anyone recommend me a particular firmware please, everyone said to stay away from the latest PlaysForSure firmware on my old Zen Xtra, and apparently it bricked lots of devices, so im a bit apprehensi've about getting the latest release.
If anyone can help me fix my clicker please i would be most grateful as i dont want to send my little player back.
Thanks!

Zen Micro Problems! Please he

<FONT face=Verdana color=#ff00cc size=4>My Zen Micro keeps freezing on the Creative screen every time i turn it on. I've tried the recovery mode and did the clean up and rebooted it but it still freezes there. This is my 2nd Zen Micro because my first one did something similar but it was making a weird beeping noise too. I got my other one replaced and im hoping that im not having the same problem as before. Please help!

I replied to your other thread.

Zen Micro Playlist Error - Please H

Everything for my zen micro when connected to my computer except for one thing. I can't create a playlist on my computer! Everytime I go into the Zen Media Explorer and try to create a new playlist, it tells me that it is "unable to connect to device. please try again." And yes, my Zen Micro is connected when I try this.
Anyways, I looked up to see if anybody had this issue but didn't find a thread about it. Can anybody help me out? I've only upgraded the software once... and terrible things happened(my computer stopped recognizing my micro) so I don't plan on doing that again unless that's my last resort. Thanks in advance.

I think you need to try the normal troubleshooting procedures i.e. a disk cleanup (see the FAQ post).
Also try using MediaSource, and failing that another PC even (just to test).

Very Weird Problem Zen Micro...Please Help

So I accidently dropped my zen micro really hard and now when I turn it on, it takes me to the creative copywrite beggining and then it goes to just creative with nothing else on the screen and doesn't move from there as if its frozen. I've tried rescue mode, clean disk, but it's taking over 45-60 minutes and still nothing, just scan disk. I had about 800 songs. I could care less about the songs, I just want the dam thing to work already. Any Help would be of much appreciation, pleasssee and thank you.

You're pretty much hosed. Even if its under warranty, Creative will likely view the damage as due to dropping and, therefore, not covered. I'm not sure what the repair charges will be, but it won't be cheap.
