Zen Neeon 6GB, charging via AC Adapt

I have Zen Neeon 6GB player. When I connect my player to Creative's AC charging adapter there is no indiacation of charging. But when I connect it to my computer's usb port the battery icon flashes. Is it charging or not?

It appears that generic usb chargers do not work properly with the micro photo.
It has to do something with the micro photo's usb jack not being entirely compatible with them. The device isnt recieving enough power using these chargers.
I tried quite a few, none worked.
It seems that if the micro photo isnt pulsing, its not being charged properly.
When I connect it to my dvd player through usb, it does indeed pulse and charges at normal speed.
I'm afraid that the only way is to buy the original charger from creative...

Zen Neeon 6GB..... DEAD

Hope somebody can help out here, I'm at my wits end!
Got my new Zen Neeon 6GB one week ago. Installed all the software, hooked the player up to a USB port, charged it up, and had a few days of problem-free listening.
The battery was very low this morning so I hooked it up to a USB to recharge. Only this time my laptop will not recognise the device at all! It does not come up as an extra dri've on my "My Computer", and it is nowhere to be found on any device list.
To make things worse the battery is so low that the player will not switch on at all. So basically what it does is:
When connected to the laptop the word "Creative" appears on the display, but with no backlights, and no other button has any effect at all. The device is not read anywhere, and apart from the Creative logo could be considered dead as a dodo.
When not connected to the laptop, I push the on button, the Creative logo appears very briefly, followed by a very quick glimpse of the "battery needs recharging" symbol, then it cuts off completely. No other button has any effect.
I have reset the player a couple of times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the softwear, and still no joy. I am really cheesed off that this kinda thing is happeneing only a week after buying it, I had been told that Creative were reliable?
Anyway, any help would be very gratefully received.
Merry Christmas!

I have used Zen Neeon 6GB for the last 2 years untill a few months ago. I do not remember having any issues connecting to the computer. But I do know that when you connect, you don't need to turn it on via the on button. It the connection is auto detected and the player turns on on its own. Sometimes computers can't detect devices you might want to try disconnecting and connecting again (I know this may not be your case). You should get the charger to charge it via socket, it is much more efficient and less troublesome. You could also try connecting to other computers. You may also try posting this problem on PC Help forums to seek advice on device detection, they would likely be able to help.

Zen neeon 6GB problem

Hai
I have a Zen Neeon 6GB and Iam frequently facing malfunctioning of the player. Sometimes the player is generating heat and the total battery is going to dry. i used it until it was out of battery and went to charge it up on my computer, i plug it into my USB cable, and when i looked at the screen all i get is the "CREATIVE" logo, it wont change.. i unplug it and try to turn it on, i either get the 'no battery' symbol and it switches off, or usually i jus get the 'CREATIVE' logo and it just sits there.. this is VERY frustrating and i hope theres something that can be done
Please help me.

There is no "replace" battery warning, Because of the type of battery it is when they are to the point of needing replacement the main sign besides not holding a charge or short battery time usage is heat. As electronics go heat is not your friend. I have not seen any instructions on how to open your player but if you Google it you may find some. The only way to find out what battery you need to replace is to get it open to look at it since it is an internal one.http://www.batteryuni'versity.com/parttwo-34.htm I don't know if this will help much no pictures. http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...09&postcount=8

Zen Neeon 6gb - audio blips after changeing

hey, i have had my Zen Neeon 6gb since the 24th of June, up untill about two weeks ago i was running Windows ME , the player was working fine, just recentaly i have changed OS to Windows XP professional and now, whenever i copy a song onto my player, it has really annoying audio blips and skips in every single track. Most of the music on my new computer has been copyed off my other useing my player, and it all plays fine, its only when i goto play it on my player.
Please Help, im really annoyed at this
PS: i have tried re-installing drivers and formatting the player, i even have the latest firmware, nothing is working!!!Message Edited by mischala on 2-02-200607:2 PM

I had the same problem. I was using the zen neeon as a mobile dri've (as in, copying stuff over to it through windows explorer). If you use the creative mediasource application to copy music to the player instead, it solves the audio blip problem completely. I hate having to use the software when the dri've is accessible in explorer but at least it isn't as annoying as itunes.

Zen Neeon 6GB (USB Probl

Hi,
I bought a zen neeon 6gb a few days ago. There were no problems at first but now.......
When I plug it into my laptop, it's as if nothing was plug in!
Same thing when I used the desktop in my office, I've changed another usb cable, I've pushed the reset button & nothing seems to work. Downloaded "Zen Neeon Firmware .0", also didn't work.
So what now? I'm still waiting for the support team to reply my email.

Does the player turn on, or doesn't it respond at all? Was the battery run down all the way?
Regarding your e-mail, did you use the form on the website, and did get an auto-response back? You should always get an automated e-mail back with some tips, if they don't help, check over the e-mail as you generally need to reply to that to let them know, so someone will deal with you directly.

Late Macbook Pro 2011 won't charge via MagSafe adapter.

My friends Macbook Pro 2011 same as mine wont charge the battery via MagSafe adapter. The battery is good and the adapter also, ive checked them on my Mac. The problem is that on her Mac it won't charge. I've change the MagSafe adapter on her computer and it didn't work still no charge, no green light on the L shaped adapter. Can it be the Logic Board?

Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

ZEN NEEON 6GB - SNR changed to 98

Recently, Creative had added a 6GB Zen Neeon to their Mp3-player segment. I noticed that the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of this new player has changed from 90 dB to 98 db! Is this a fault on the new specifications page, or was this intended? (so, the new Zeeon has a new sound chip in it or something?)
My questions to Creative:
Is the SNR of the Zen Neeon really 98 db?</LI>
Is the new 6GB Zen Neeon still laggy as the Neeon 5GB in menus, or less laggy?</LI>
Thank you for your reply!

Zen neeon - battery charger

Hello
I Have Zen neeon
I'm looking for the battery charger, we use 230 Voltage
I do not see the Specification of the input voltage that the Zen neeon need
Some one can help with that subject
Thanks
Uri

There's no Zen Neeon firmware available yet.
Typically batteries charge in about 4 hours. I would leave it for this, then check to see if it's full.
If it isn't I would contact Creative Support, links for which are in the FAQ post.

Zen Micro wont charge via USB on first

Hey guys,
've had a look at alot of posts regarding charging Zen Micro's but none have thus far solved my problem.

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

I have so far been unable to get my Zen to charge from a laptop. I have tried the following:
* Cleanup from Recovery mode
* Connect player whilst locked
* Removed and replaced battery
* Updated drivers on windows XP (my OS)
* Installed software on 2 laptops and had exact same results

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.

When I do connect it it is seen as a MTP device on windows, and now Creative MediaSource does not recognise it as connected.

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.

Cheers guys!

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

Zen Neeon 6GB Prob

Hey guys, I recently got a Zen Neeon for christmas, It was working BRILLIANTLY without error up until yesterday, i used it until it was out of battery and went to charge it up on my computer, i plug it into my USB cable, and when i looked at the screen all i get is the "CREATIVE" logo, it wont charge.. i unplug it and try to turn it on, i either get the 'no battery' symbol and it switches off, or usually i jus get the 'CREATIVE' logo and it just sits there.. this is VERY frustrating as i cannot li've without my mp3 player (seriously).. Thanks for your time.. i hope theres something that can be done,Neil

Do you lose all your songs if you reset it's And is the reset button the little hole under the 'hold' button?
Yes the little hole next to the hold switch is the reset button. You can use a pin or needle to press it down. However, don't jab it too hard like I did because I think I sort of dislodged the button. But it still works.. for now. And no you shouldn't lose any of your songs. Although the first time I reset my Neeon the music folder I was in it caused problems. It wouldn't delete and when I tried to access it on my player, the player froze. But that is just another problem altogether.
If I remember correctly there is some firmware update for the Neeon that reduces chances of freezing, and should be downloadable from somewhere on this website.
I found that freezing occurred the most when it was used for a long time, or when it heated up in hot weather or in my pocket.
Hope that helped!

Zen Neeon 6GB (Micro-HD Version) Setup for New Harddisk

Dear all Zen Buddy,
My Zen Neeon have been with me for more than 4 years, and recently just drop from table and has death certified.
I have bought a 4gb hd new brain for it, hope anyone of you can please guide me possible to install it from scratch?

Dorothy,
Congratulations!!!
You have worked hard to select a strong build and tuned the system well. Your system seems to perform VERY well and you certainly have not broken the bank to get to that level.
I just checked PPBM5's site and your are #2 on the CS6 list performance board. So, I don't think that you need to do much else; it is time to put the PC to work! Also agree PPBM5 is a great tool - thanks Harm and Bill!!!
Regarding the Areca, I don't think that it would get you much more speed unless you added more drives. I do love having mine, but it is more for the security of the redundant parity RAID protecting me from any data loss if a single drive were to die.
And finally, I can't imagine not being on the www; you should probably get a good virus protection and get back on. I would not expect that with as much CPU power and RAM as you have that virus protection (set up correctly) would impact you performance in any noticeable way.
Regards,
Jim

Creative Zen Neeon 6GB filesystem error on Li

Hi there,
First off, I have had no problem with the Zen Neeon in the past on Linux, has worked perfectly. However, now the mp3 player says it has a Filesystem error and shuts down. Is there anyway to format or fix this problem for Linux? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jeriko

Well, good news. There is a simple way to fix my above problem if you're running Linux. Thought I better post it here incase someone has the same trouble. Simply open up your terminal and create a windows filesystem on the mp3 player device. For example, my mp3 player was dedicated to /dev/sda, you'd do this:
mkdosfs /dev/sda
And that should do it. Check the man page (man mkdosfs) for more info.
Cheers,
Jeriko

[Sprint] Palm Pre Not Charging via Wall Adapter

I noticed this morning that my phone battery was not fully charged before leaving for work. So, I tried switching USB cords and plugging it into the wall -- nothing. I then tried charging through the USB port in the PC and my system recognized the Pre and gave me the option to charge it. This happened suddenly as the wall adapter worked the night before. I also tried the car charger and it works as well.
Anyone else have their wall adapter fail all of a sudden? I ran the test for the wall adapter on the Pre and it failed to recognize that it was plugged in to the wall adapter. I'm trying to figure out if it's just the adapter that tanked suddenly or if the actual phone is the problem.
Thanks!

I've had this happen a couple times, but it doesn't appear to be related to the source of power. Sometimes it doesn't tell me that it is charging. And once in awhile it does, but the battery either continues to drain or stays steady. Seems rather random, so I guess you just have to monitor the charging progress.

Creative Zen Neeon 6gb Reset But

Does pressing the reset button delete all your songs? And is it the little hole below the hold switch?PS: Anyone solved the freezing of the screen issue yet? Or the speed problem (takes ages to change between songs)?Cheers
