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.

  • 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, 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 - 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 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!

  • 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

  • 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 Micro 6GB/Problems with Power Switch and Firmw

    The power switch on my Zen Micro has died. I can't turn it on or off unless I 'jump start' it from a USB cable and leave it alone to go into idle shutdown. I've had this player just three weeks and this is happened and frankly I'm disgusted. But wait, my story get's worse:
    So before sending it back to Creative I thought that I should at least exhaust every possible cure. First on my list? A Firmware upgrade to v2.22.05. I downloaded the program and set about installing the new firmware but halfway through the process it hung and I had to end it prematurely. Now what I had was a ZM that apparently had v2.22.05 but was not being recognised at all by my computer. Media Explorer wasn't picking up on it and neither was WMP although strangely when I connect the device it's there in the Device Manager...
    So, check back with the website and it said to download an update for Mediasource and that should solve the problem. Downloaded the patch but then realised that I hadn't installed Mediasource on my computer (can't remember why I didn't though). Went back to the downloads page and downloaded Mediasource. Tried to install it but I can't. The reason? because my computer isn't detecting the ZM and I can't install it until it recognises that it's there.
    As a last resort I thought that I would try to use 'Rescue Mode'. Seemed simple enough, remove the battery and hold down the power switch. Then put the battery back in and wait for the rescue screen to come up. Seems easy enough. Oh wait, I don't have a working power switch.
    What I do have though, is a small piece of plastic and metal that I can't turn on, can't turn off, can't put any songs on, can't listen to, can't fix and can't be bothered with. I have a ?60 paperweight.
    Anyone at all have any idea what I should do? I just want to put it all in a box and send it back to Amazon with a request for a full refund or a threat to take them to the Small Claims Court.

    Although a failed power switch is not unknown, I only recall seeing two or three other cases of this. It's not common.
    If WMP isn't working with the device having v2 firmware something is wrong. Unfortunately this can be difficult to fix, but take a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
    MediaSource won't detect the player if there's some issue e.g. WMP0 not detecting it. You can of course also try installing Zen Micro Media Explorer (Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update to be specific) which has MTP support.
    Are you are presumably under guarantee, and as you bought from an Internet store, it's best to return it direct to Creative. Contact Creative Support to arrange this.

  • Zen Micro 6GB PROBLEMS (help

    I'm really starting to not like these! The st one i bought didn;t work, and now the second one is about half as bad!When i plug in my zen mirco to the computer, it finally acknoledges it, by charging it and such, but yet when i try and use the programs they will not reconize that it is even plugged in. I'm pretty sure it is my driver, so i came on here to find a new driver, downloaded one, did the whole update thing, but it STILL WON"T reconize it!Does it have anything to do witht he fact that when i tried to install the program, it installs to a 99%, then sto
    ps.
    . and doesn't do anything more. Computer stops thinking.. i left it alone for over half an hour, but it didn;t move past 99% or say anything, i had to "Ctrl"? "Alt" "Delete" just to get to the task manager to quit it, and since then, i've uninstalled and installed it 3 times, and it continues to do the same thing! (go to 99%.. and computer/program still won;t reconize that it is even plugged in)?Somebody please tell me what to do!?!?!?! What is going on.. can anyone help me?thnks..

    I went to Amazon and apparently if you want to return an item, you need the Order #, which I do not have, nor does the person who gave it to me.
    You know, it would really be helpful if MORE users could reply and give their insight into my problem.

  • 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

  • Zen Neeon Trou

    I've had my Zen Neeon (6GB) for about 2 months and have recently started having problems with it. When playing it has started taking a much longer time to change songs almost like it's freezing in between song changes and when this happens it takes a few goes before being able to turn it off. I originally thought it might have something to do with the battery, but it doesn't seem to be anything connected to it. Any help would be great. Thanks!Message Edited by steph0202 on 0-03-2007:09 PM

    I am having the same problem with my Zen Neon (6GB). It starts up very slow and takes a long time to load different screens. It actually stopped playing songs now. Seems like it has trouble?loading the songs. The radio FM works though. Please advise someone how to fix it. I tried?resetting but?the same problem?continues. Please?advise. Thanks.

  • Zen Neeon saiz "No Music"

    #Zen Neeon saiz "No Music"E Hi everyone, my brother gave me a Zen Neeon 6gb mp3 player and im trying to load music onto it but I sure as hell cant get the music to show ....
    I downloaded the instructions and it saiz go to My Computer, and you will see the Zen will show as a removable dri've, simply drag and drop music into it, sounds easy right? I copyed all my music across and when I turn the Zen on it saiz "No Music"
    Ive tryed formatting, i've tryed moving music in and out of folders on the Zen, I also downloaded the Mediasorce 5 Organizer but do not see the Zen in the list on the right to select ......
    I have a few mp3 players and I just drag and drop all my music into them and they work no problem ..... can someone please tell me what I may be doing wrong?
    Thanx in advance

    laura_stewart09,
    You will need to have the music file selected and queue to the Now Playing list. To do so, acccess the Music Library. Now you can find the songs you want either by Artists, Albums, Genres, All Tracks, etc.

  • Zen Neeon Batt

    Help PleaseCan anyone tell me how I can get a new battery for my Zen Neeon 6GB, one month after warranty it has crashed and only shows the Creative symbol when connected to the computer (the computer doesnt even recognise it as being connected) and a large?empty battery icon in the middle of the screen when not connected, it wont charge or do anything - Creative want AUD$40.00 to have it serviced - is there anyway this can be done without the massi've cost. I have done all the downloads and upgrades etc, tried other USB...Will never get another Creative again

    Is there a way to check if your battery is fully charged without disconnecting the usb cable and turning the player on?
    I don't own a Neeon, but is there no onscreen indicator of charging?
    I'm wonder if disconnecting while its charging could harm the battery in any way or stop it from properly charging.
    It won't cause any problems.
    I've also noticed that sometimes even though the usb cable is connected the backlight is not on and the little wave (on the zen screen) doesn't move, there is just a line, at these times does it mean its not charging?
    Ah, it sounds like it does show something. Normally the manual has a list of the charging icons, but if it's a little line with a plug on the end that means with all the other players that it's operating off the mains and has finished charging.
