Zen Neeon not work

My zen neeon is stuck on the recharging screen. I've tried formatting, didn't do a thing. I downloaded the firmware update, but it wont install, it keeps losing the connection. Anyone have any ideas?

Well don't try to load firmware on that computer since you A)can't connect B)it's not an XP O.S. Do a clean up>reboot on the player, format>reboot.

Zen Xtra not work

ok, first let me say that until I installed the firmware upgrade, I loved my player!!! NOW I hate it!!! Heck is wont ever work.....
Ok, I installed the firmware upgrade and that is where all the trouble began!!! The player worked but barely and for only about 4 hours, now it wont work at all. the screen lights up for 2-3 seconds and then goes out. It wont work plugged in or not plugged in. when I first got the firmware, nothing would work correctly!! I could no longer use music match to load playlist or music, I finally after 3 hours of playing with it I got some music on it and now I have a $300 paperweight!!!
Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas to fix it's?

Unless the firmware update failed partway through the player should still be working normally, so you might have coincidentally hit some other hardware failure with the player. For starters try working through the advice in the "My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" section of the FAQ.
If you struggle with reloading the firmware you need to make sure your player is being detected, and is appearing correctly in Device Manager. That is it is listed without error and with a driver version.

Zen Micro not working

Yes, I know, loads of other topics with the same problems... Sorry... But I've had my Zen Micro for well over a year now, and it's worked like a dream up until now. Suddenly, this morning, the keypad froze. And the on/off button would not work. I did the usual thing in these situations, removing the battery and putting it back in again. Problem still went on. I tried uploading more music because I was out of ideas as to what else to do. And by the way, I've never updated the firmware in it, or whatever it is you download on to it, because I physically can't (I only have 2 USB ports, my sister broke the two on the front, so I must remove the internet to plug the Zen in). So has anyone else had the same problem? If so, how did you fix it if you did get it fixed?Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to repair my friend's zen right now. It appears that your zen has a problem with the power switch. Try taking off the cover and looking at the connections where the power switch connects to the board. My friend's micro power swith broke off and has the same symptoms, hopefully you can just resolder one of the connections and it will work again. If anyone knows where to get another power swith, that would be great cause my friends micro no longer has one...Message Edited by nahatley on -02-200609:02 PM

***Dropped Zen Micro Not Working 100%

I recently dropped my Zen Micro Mp3 player from a height of about 4 Feet. When I turned it back on I found out that the Player was not working correctly. I can only scroll up (no matter what direction I scroll it always moves up). Im not able to use any other options besides "All Tracks" because I cant scroll down to select them. My Volume is always at MAX because I cant lower it. I can still use the Fast-Forward and Re-Wind buttons. The Play/Pause button still works. So do the "Menu" and "Back" buttons. The only problem is the Scroll bar(or button whatever its called). It can tell when im touching it because it shows the volume that its at and it can still scroll (Like I said before,only up). Anyone know how to fix this without having to send it in? I dont have a warranty anymore.

Hmm, thats odd considering i dropped mine over 0 feet onto a concrete floor and it works fine, considering that it beeps every so often. Well, to your problem, have you tried recovering the player by taking the battery out, and turning the power on at the same time you are putting the battery in?

Zen Sleek not working on windows 2

My New Zen sleek is not working on windows 2000. IT says that this product doesn't run on this operating system but in the requierements on the creative website it says that windows 2000 can be used. ANy ideas?. THe only recognization i get is a yellow question mark next to the devices name

*sigh*
The Zen Sleek was originally shipped with 2 versions. One that works with Windows XP systems only which US/Canada consumers got. And one that works with Windows 2000, which other countries such as Europe got. This has since been changed and now all countries worldwide are getting the Windows XP only models. It seems that Marketing and IT didn't communicate properly and now we have some false advertisements going on with the Sleek and the Micro. Both devices are shipping with support for Windows XP right out of the box. Despite what the label says or what the website says of Windows 2000/98/ME support.
You <i>can</i> get it working with Windows 2000, however you need the "Easy CD". If your package did not include such as CD then you cannot get it working under Windows 2000.
I would think that Creative is in for some serious problems if someone finds a good lawyer.

Zen sleek not working with vi

I have a Zen sleek, and I have just got myself a new computer with windows vista. How do I get my Zen Sleek to work with vista? This is very frustrating. I have tried downloading the software from the Creative site, but during setup it says that no product can be found. I get this message both with and with my zen sleek connected to my computer.
What to do? Please help.
kind regards
Jacob Skeel Nielsen, Denmark.

OK, your Zen Micro worked with your older computer, correct?
Was your older computer an XP machine or an earlier version of Windows?
As far as I know, XP requires the PlaysForSure firmware to work with your Zen Micro. You need Service Pack 2 and Windows Media Player 0 too.
You can find the drivers, firmware and software that you need by clicking the Support menu on the Creative banner at the top of the page-> Downloads->MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen Micro, select your language and Operating System and then the drivers, firmware and software that you need.
Be sure to click the <i>Show Details...</i> pop-up for more information and instructions.

Creative Zen V not work

Hello,?I've purchased a Creative Zen V 2 GB, the first time I used it it freezed at "rebuilding library". I could not do anyting, I could not reset it either, so I sent it back. A few weeks later I received the player again, I put some music on and it worked fine. But right now, it is again freezed at "rebuilding library" for?2 days. I had to recharge the battery, but it still isn't working. I tried to reset the player but that doesn't work so I also can't get to the trouble menu. My computer also does not recognize the player anymore. Does anyone else have these kinds of problems? What should I do?

Re-formatting worked for me. Also only transferring wma lossless files has kept my player from freezing. For some reason it would not accept numerous wav or mp3 files using both the Creative software and Windows media player . Two weeks and counting with just loading wma's and no continued freezes. Good luck.

Zen Micro not working, frozen when reboot

I recently purchased a zen micro 5g. For some strange reason my player froze I attempted to shut it off, it did not do it. So I removed the battery put it back in, the creative screen illuminated and was stuck there and makes a weird noise that is soft and can only be heard when I put my ear up to the battery when , I could still not shut it off w/out removing the battery. I did the recovery mode and each option I choose it gets stuck on. So I tried to download a firmware, followed the instructions?and all went well and I connected my device to my computer and it did not recognize it, the creative mediasource doesn't recognize it nor does my computer. But I know the cable works because I can connect it to the player and remove the battery and the screen stays on. This is very frustrating because I bought this recently after losing a Samsung. If no one here has a solution than can someone suggest how to return the product for repair or replacement sich I bought this about 3 weeks ago and it is still under warrentyMessage Edited by nub88 on 07-23-20070:53 PM

Did you download the right plugin for MediaSource? What firmware version are you using?
If you're using the v.xx PDE firmware, make sure you have downloaded and installed the following:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource
4. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
Install , then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2, 3 and 4 (the player must be connected for 2 to verify you have a Creative product).

Zen Micro not working, neither Recovery M

Hi people,
I had been having problems with my player for more than a year and I left it over. Now i'm trying to make it work
First of all, the player gets stuck in its white screen.
Then, when I go recovery mode, I can't choose any option, and lately it's has been loosing bright also
When I try to connect it to the PC, it's recognized as a Generic usb device, but with malfunctions
The strange thing is that, after trying many many times, I had been able to choose "format" in the RM, but then it was 'formatting' more than any day without any new. Player was not full, neither dropped.
BTW, It's very difficult for me to send it back to Creative since I'm from Argentina. I bought it in Chicago maybe 3 years ago, and it didn't worked more than 6 months
If it's useful, I'm able to read that the FW is v.0.0.58
I'm looking forward to have a solution soon
Regards, zAnteeh

Zen Stone not work

So I went out and bought a Zen Stone GB mp3 player today. Upon hooking it up to the computer, it was recognized, and it supposedly installed fine. However, it is recognized in Device Manager, but not My computer. Only a removable Disk shows up in My Computer. Also, Creative Media Lite doesnot recognize that the mp3 player is attached, nor does the firmware update program. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and how I can solve it's This seems like a really nice mp3 player. Its a shame its such a pain in the neck to install.

Update: At this point when I plug in the Zen stone, it is recognized, but still only in Device Manager. It does not appear in My Computer, and Creative Media Lite, Windows Media Player, and any other software will still not recognize it. I've tried installing the latest firmware, but it cannot find the Zen Stone either.

Zen 4Gb not work

It won't work at all.
I followed instructions and loaded CD first.
1. It won't switch on.
2. Its not recognised in Sync manager.
3. Cannot reboot or it wont reboot/reset, have tried the reset switch and nothing happens.
4. When I try to use the recovery tool the following message comes up, "You have more than one Creative players connected. Please remove one, click "OK" to exit and then run this program again."

I had this exact same problem. Resetting/Rebooting won't do a thing, it's just dead. I tried to make mine work for days but there's no point. You should just return the faulty player and get a new one and see how that goes.

Zen Micro not working prope

Hi - I'm sure my problem is not an unusual one and I am posting purely out of sheer desperation. I currently have a Creative Zen Micro 5GB.
For some reason, my PC is not detecting my Zen Micro. I even unplugged it from one USB port and connected it to another (I have 3) and nothing. I downloaded and installed the latest organizer and the plug-in as specified in the FAQ. Still nothing.
Under My Computer, my device shows. But when I open the Zen Micro Explorer, it says that my device is not connected to the computer. In the Organizer, I can't see my device either. I can sync from Windows Media Player (where my device shows) but doing that does not allow me to create playlists (unless it's some neat trick I don't know?).
I'm at my wits end and really on the verge of buying another MP3 player that is NOT Creative. I have only had this device since October and I started having firmware problems only 2 weeks after purchase.
Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
I am running Windows XP - and have uninstalled and re-installed the Creative software.
Thanks!
Marcy

Micro Zen's not working (firmware probl

After having my micro Zen with me to Greece, I've got a fatal firmware problem. I got this message that my Zen was having a firmware problem and therefore wouldn't start. It went directly into recovery mode. I tried cleaning up, but even that wouldn't work. After restarting about 20 times, I made the decision to reload the firmware in recovery mode. My current firmware version is ZenMicroPDE_PCFW_LB___0. All seemed to function, but after having the message "rebooting...", the process just stopped. After about hour I got tired of waiting and stopped the process. Now, when I'm starting my Zen, I'm only getting the welcome screen. I've tried the recovery thing, but the machine won't go into recovery mode. Any hope for my Zen?
Bergy

well took my Zen Micro with me on holiday as well and when i came back I didnt bother using it for about 2 weeks. So 2 weeks later I want two transfer some songs on but first I realise I have a low battery and i charge via the usb cable and it comes to the recovery mode so reboot it but it comes up the recovery mode again and i try to reboot it again but it does the same thing so I reload the firmware and the reboot it but it still doesn't work. I left for a while once once it had charged a bit so then later on i switch it on and it comes up Firmware Problem and then into recovery mode, i reboot it but it still comes up Firmware Problem and then recovery mode. So I'd like to find out if there is a way to fix the problem.
