  • Zen Micro wont work at all plz help, or im gonna return

    When i charged my zen micro, i turned it on, and then it displays the title screen: Creative
    Then it just stays there, how long is it supposed to take to load?Message Edited by Kyler on 07-3-2005 05:08 AM

    I bought a Black 5GB Micro and after about 3 Weeks it froze. After I rebooted it (removing and reinserting teh battery) it stayed stuck on the Creative logo. Going into rescue mode (holding the power button to the left, taking out the battery, reinserting it and then letting go of the power switch) was useless because it would just freeze when i tried n e of the options. I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one, it's been working great ever since.
    So, Short Answer: If rescue mode doesn't work just take it in, it's pooched.

  • [Edit]Problem with Zen Micro when connected to PC-- cleared but another prob

    Hello,
    My problem is that my Computer (winxp, sp2) does not identify my zen micro any longer. few days ago it worked perfectly but now it doesnt work.
    my zen micro has the firmware with the MTP/plays for sure
    I had installed the things from the cd, when I bought it, that was in the package and then new drivers and the new applications, so two programs. (I had two Zen Micro symbols on my desktop but I could only use the program with MTP)
    it worked fine.
    a few weeks ago I had the same problem, but after a few connectings and disconnectings it worked again.
    today this doesnt helped. I uninstalled everything what had to do with creative and then only installed new drivers and the newest applications (without the things from the cd).
    it still doesnt work.
    when I click on the "Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP)" on the desktop I can see that my zen micro is connected. When I go to my playlists and click on one, it seems that my playlist is "empty". but in the mp3-player there is the playlist!
    when I click on my music folder, where all the music is I see the folders, but when I go into the folders, the folders are also "empty".
    what happened? I changed the usb ports--> doesnt work...
    what can I do in order to use my zen micro again on the pc. my zen micro works fine(playlists and songs work normally), but I have problems having connected it to my pc... I cannot copy songs and edit my playlists anymore. is there any way to edit the playlists via mp3-player without connecting to the pc?
    I hope you have a helping answer for me.
    Regards

    by the way: new forums look good Message Edited by expredator on 02-07-2005 09:22 PMMessage Edited by expredator on 02-08-2005 0:57 PM

    ok guys, I almost solved the problem. I used the rescue mode, used clean up, and now the folders are not empty and I can copy songs into my Zen Micro.
    But the playlists are "empty". Also when I want to create a new playlist it says that my mp3-player is not connected ?! But it is! I can copy files into it!
    I also cannot synchronize it with WMP0.
    I reinstalled software and it didnt help...
    So what can I do? It is connected but I cannot edit my playlists.
    Is there any way to edit the playlists via the mp3-player and not over the pc?Message Edited by expredator on 02-08-2005 :00 PM

  • Zen Micro wont charge when connected using

    I've reacently discovered that my Zen Micro isn't charging any more, when I connect it to my computer (or any other computer for that matter). When it's connected, the battery indicator switches from battery-status to battery-charging - however, regardless of how long I let it charge, it shuts down immediately when the cable is unpluged. So it doesnt charge at all!
    I'm having a bit trouble finding my regular charger, so I have a bit of a problem here..
    Has anyone besides me experienced this? And they might have a solution?
    P.S.
    The USB port it is connected to has its own power supply, so its not that it doesnt get enough power..

    i got the resolution.
    rasta maybe the drivers haven't been installed. (but it's strange cuz it should have been recognized as an hard disk)
    by the way try this following took from support pages:
    . Click Start, (Settings), Control Panel, System, Hardware, and then Device Manager.
    2. The MTP player should be listed under Windows Portable Devices.
    If there is an error or a yellow exclamation mark next to the device, right click the player listing and select Update driver. (insert the CD and select "automatically detect" drivers from the CD)
    Alternati'vely, you can uninstall the device, and reinstall it. Highlight the MTP player listing, and press the Delete key on your keyboard, which will uninstall the MTP device; click Actions ,and then click Scan for hardware changes. Windows will install the necessary drivers.

  • Almost full Zen Micro wont s

    Hey peeps,
    I have a 3 month old Zen Micro 5GB. All is working but i am starting to notice a trend in my player that when ever I fill it up to 75%-00% capacity; my player would stop interfacing my computer (the computer wont recognise it is connected). I usually use the Zen Micro Explorer and Winamp5.2. The problem would go away if only i reformat my Zen Micro's hard dri've.. Is there anyway that I can make it better with out reformatting.
    Thanks
    Hazri

    I tried to send an email to creative but was denied since my product was purchased over a year ago, and it dosnt look like im going to get the help i need here so i give up.
    Creative wins, they get my hard earned money in exhange for a defecti've piece of **bleep** i havent been able to get working satisfactoraly since i got it and am now forced to replace...
    Before purchasing one of their mp3 players i thought so highly of creative. I usually am more careful before making such a purchase but I, as many others, had trust in this company renowned for its sound cards. Even after the purchase i just told myself "a company like creative wont let this product sit with crappy firmware for long, they'll update it and it will be a great player" So instead of returning it when i should have a sat on it, and my dreams never materialized and now im stuck with a paperweight that wont install any firmware now because of a known issue with their product!
    quote from SSR in another thread with the same problem,
    "Unfortunately there are others who've got stuck after removing the v2 firmware, and can't apply the same or the v firmware. I suggest you contact support and hopefully they can resolve it for you. Please post back here if you get a remedy."
    But i cant contact customer support, they refused to help me because my warrenty is out. If someone knows of a way to fix my problem please feel free to still post in this thread i will still check it in hopes of fixing my player, this forum is now my only hope with creative email support outright refusing to help me.
    Thanks to anyway who actually read all these long winded posts but im done with creative...

  • Zen Micro wont cha

    I got a Zen Micro about 2 weeks ago. The first time I charged it by connecting the USB it charged fine. Now it wont charge. The battery icon in the top right corner is flashing as normal when I connect it so the USB seems to be working, but the battery is still dead. I've tried on a few computers and the same thing happens. There was no adapter or charger with the mp3 so the USB cable is the only way I have of charging it. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Join the club! My husband is a computer engineer and I know that even if I were completely incompetent, which I am not, he knows his way around these issues. Like you, the first time I charged my Micro, it charged fine. The second time I tried to charge it I had the same problem. It would say it was charging even maybe charge a little but never all the way no matter how long I left it on. I tried different ports with more power. I even got a wall charge unit. Nothing worked. My Husband tried all the same things just in case I had done them wrong and he got the same failure. So, having payed for the warranty, I returned it, got a new one and loaded all my music back on it ( which is a huge pain) and the exact same thing happened. The first charge went off fine but then only partial charges. I am disgusted with the whole affair. I am certain that it can't be user error having followed all of Creative's directions to the letter. I am going to return mine again and ask to be refunded. If you don't have a warranty, maybe you can use my post as help in getting Creative to set things right with you. Good luck!

UGH it makes me real mad some one PLEASE HELP and gimme some suggestions!!!!!ASAP

    It really sucks about your player
    ...but it was concrete.
    ...and you've got a disk dri've inside there.
    what do you think would happen if you dropped a desktop computer from 3 feet off the ground onto concrete?

  • Zen Micro wont charge via USB on first

    Hey guys,
    <EM>'ve had a look at alot of posts regarding charging Zen Micro's but none have thus far solved my problem.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>I used to have a Zen Micro Photo but it broke and I've had it replaced with a Zen Micro (6GB) with firmware ..0</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>I have so far been unable to get my Zen to charge from a laptop. I have tried the following:</EM>
    <EM>* Cleanup from Recovery mode</EM>
    <EM>* Connect player whilst locked</EM>
    <EM>* Removed and replaced battery</EM>
    <EM>* Updated drivers on windows XP (my OS)</EM>
    <EM>* Installed software on 2 laptops and had exact same results</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>My zen is now dead battery wise, when I plug it into the computer it turns on and gives my a screen that says Low Battery. Not once have I seen the charge symbol appear when it was connected to the laptop.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>When I do connect it it is seen as a MTP device on windows, and now Creative MediaSource does not recognise it as connected.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>I had similar problems with my Micro Photo but they worked themselves out somehow (I dont remember how), its getting really frustrating and I'd appreciate any help.</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    <EM>Cheers guys!</EM>

    Maybe if it doesn't recognize it, you might have to install the software again (the CD that came with it).

  • Zen Micro wont turn o

    [size="4" color="#0000ff">My zen micro isn't turning on now when i hold the button. The only way to turn it on is to connect it to the usb port. Is there anyway to restart it so it will work?

    If it's still within warranty then you won't pay anything (except maybe for shipping, depends on where you bought it from and where you'll send it to, I for instance would pay nothing as the retailer will take on the responsibility of taking it to and from the local Creative service)...
    With that said, the cover over the power switch can be removed very easily, just put the switch to the lock position, use a small flat screwdriver and GENTLY put it between the switch and the cover, then again GENTLY pry it open.
    Then examine the switch carefully to make sure that there's no dirt or anything else that would cause it not to work.
    Do bear in mind that although at this step you technically don't open the player (and thus you don't void your warranty) if you use a thick screwdriver or excess force you may damage the plastic parts and that won't look good if you take it to the service... you know what I mean?
    Hope that has been of help
    Cheers!Message Edited by Keyper7 on 03-08-200602:4 AM

    Go into rescue mode and run a disk cleanup.
    If this won't work the player is faulty and you need to get it replaced.
