Zen Microphoto 8GB .. just stopped work

[size="2" face="Verdana">my zen microphoto just stopped working. i installed everything correctly and followed the directions to a T. i was using it one day and all of a sudden it just stopped. i've tried all of the options it gives me in recovery mode. it doesn't seem to want to get out of recovery mode. when i hold it up to my ear to listen to it, you just hear it like .. trying to work. it's hard to explain.[size="2" face="Verdana">?[size="2" face="Verdana">the computer still recognizes it, it still charges (but doesn't hold?a charge for long) and it's always in recovery mode for like 20 minutes then it gives me the options to reboot, reload firmware, etc. any ideas? could be defecti've i guess.

[size="2" face="Verdana">when i try to choose one of the options, they all complete. the screen goes blue and then loads the recovery mode screen again. when i try and reload the os it just says recovery mode and has a picture of a usb device and just stays there. i left it one day before i went to work, i come home it's still on the same thing. i have to turn off and turn on the zen to get it to clear again.
[size="2" face="Verdana">?
[size="2" face="Verdana">the compute fully recognizes the zen. it has no problem knowing what it is. in fact, it recognized it before i even installed the software when i first purchased this mp3 player. any thoughts?

    Sorry to hear power failed at inopportune moment whilst re-installing device software and unfortunately within the parameters of this manufacturer's sponsored forum I would have to say that you need to visit Nokia Care Point for re-installation of device firmware.

  • Creative Zen Microphoto 8GB hangs

    Hello,
    I have seen a lot of posts on the same subject here, but have not seen any resolution yet.
    I am sure the story sounds familiar... hangs at "Creative" logo, I go into recovery mode, and run scan disk or format etc... They don't work. I have even left the player on "formatting" overnight until the battery drains and it never finishes, same goes for "Scanning".
    I am on my 4th player now and am having the same issue again. This time the player is now out of warranty so I can't return it, and I am not paying money out of my own pocket to get this thing fixed. Please don't tell me this product is defecti've... I don't buy that excuse. And it isn't a corrupt file, because a reformat would fix that.
    Once it hangs, my computer won't recognize it, so I can't even try to update the firmware or anything.
    Any new updates or information on this issue? It is obviously a well documented problem...just google "Creative zen freezes" and see how any hits you get!
    I am pretty disappointed with this player. I should have followed my gut instinct in the first place, and just bought an iPod. I spent a lot of money on this paper weight. Any help,advice,prayers,or donation$ (for a new iPod) would ge greatly appreciated!

    Right you will need to download the latest firmware from this site.
    Here is a hyperlink to where you can download the firmware:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...lect=4&x=9&y=2
    You might have to put some details in.
    Once you have downloaded the latest firmware just start the program up.
    Plug in your Zen into the PC and then press the "Reload Firmware" button on your Zen.
    You should see your computer screen pick it up.
    Then you click on your PC to install firmware.
    That should be it.
    I hope this hel
    ps.
    Got any questions you have just post on this space.
    I do apologise if this does not make much sence my grammer is not that brilliant.

  • Zene MicroPhoto 8GB - FM Radio Feez

    My Zen MicroPhoto 8GB work ok except for the FM Radio feature. Anytime I try to scan stations, whether automatically or manually, the unit will freeze and I have to remove the battery to reset it. I have already tried the Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware, & Reboot options in that order and nothing has worked. The FM radio still freezes the unit when I try to scan through stations. Any help regarding this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    I have a 8gb zen microphoto and the same thing happened to me. The first time I tried to use the radio and find a station it froze up on me. I removed the battery and that seemed to solve it. I have not tried since. I do not use the radio much but would like to be able if I wanted too. Thanks so much for these forums.

  • CS6 just stopped working last night.

    PS CS6 Extended  just stopped working over night and so has my version of CS5.1. I have a trial of CS6 Master Suite going and they are all dead too, and no the trial isn't over.I don't even get a flash screen.  Actually I got bridge to open and it asked me to install ACR6.7??? I have  LR 3&4, Element/Premiere 10 and they are fine. I have wiped my MAC twice with the CS cleaner and have spent the entire day on chat help and the phone. Nothing is working, any ideas?
    Oh and NONE of them will recognise my camera, it's just plain bizarre

  • Help?  My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

    Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
    but today - it just stopped working?
    Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%,  I can no longer get
    keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
    Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
    I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
    My queries are;
         1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
         2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
         3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
    All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
    Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

    Hi Barry.
    Thanks for your response.....
    As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that  process.
    However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
    and come back to you

  • Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

    Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

    This previous discussion discusses the same if not similar problem.

  • Can't open a dng or raw file in cs5, just stops working. So many problems in cs5!

    I totally feel for you. Just upgraded from cs4 to cs5 and it was the  biggest mistake i ever made. It will probably end my livelihood as a  photographer since EVERY time i open a raw file it crashes photoshop,  makes it freeze up after i have adjuted the file in camera raw then I  hit open; i get a few bars then it just stops working.
    Even got  tech help, which helped when i was on the phone with them. The next day  the problem came back even when I danced the same jig that I did when I  had the guy on the phone - he had me move a raw file on to the desktop  rather than take open from my hard drive, then I was able to open it, so  we came to the conclusion that my drive was corrupt. I had the same  information backed up on a brand new hard drive so we compared files  from the each drive against the other. The files from the new drive  opened successfully. Yesterday. Now Photoshop cs5 doesn't open any raw  or dng files at all from anywhere so it can only be a problem with  photoshop. We thought we had the problem solved but we did not. This  never happened on CS4 unless i was trying to open 30 or more raw files,  and even then it gave me a warning that it had no more ram, it didn't  just lock up and do nothing. I'm at my wit's end. Even though there are a  lot of great new things in cs5, they aren't very useful if you can't  use the product to do the simplest thing.

    1) Install the Photoshop 12.0.1 update
    2) Install the latest ACR update.
    If problems continue after that, then there probably is something wrong with your system.

  • My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

    My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
    I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
    I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
    Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store? 

    Try:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button

  • My ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

  • My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

    Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
    So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

    Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
    While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

  • 2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    The power supply is shot. But that it lasted even this long is the wonder.. not that it died.
    The TC runs too hot..
    Look on ebay for "Time Capsule power supply"
    You can get a replacement and fix it although the economics are not so good.. it is probably time for a new TC.
    If you can DIY it is really only a few dollars worth of capacitors that go bad.
