Zen Sleek Docking Station (Also Muvo V200 Battery Pack) Quest

Does anybody know when the Zen Sleek docking station will be back in stock, or is it in stock anywhere else? I was hoping to get it before christmas. Is there a new one coming out becuase of the Zen Sleek Photo release?
Also I have a Muvo V200, is the Creative? MuVo? NX / MuVo? TX Battery sold in the creative store compatible with this product?
Thanks for the help

The battery pack for the V200 is a different size/shape to the one for the TX, NX, TX FM etc. More important I suppose is whether the actual MP3 module is the same size or not; whether the V200 module will fit in the TX battery compartment or not.
Creative's official answer will probably be that they are different. On first looks they appear different but someone with both players might be able to give you a better answer.

Does the Zen Sleek docking station NEED a power adapt

I already have a docking station for my Zen Sleek which is connected to my PC.
I would like to get another one for my hi-fi downstairs so that I can take advantage of the line out socket. Does the dock need power to provide the line-out socket so am I going to have to sort out a second power supply as well?
If I do need a second power supply, would it be ok to just buy a uni'versal power supply (providing the current is sufficient) and plug that in, which would be cheaper than a Creative OE one?
Thanks in advance. The Sleek rocks!Message Edited by manoman48 on 06-27-2006 03:55 AM

Muvo V200 battery cover's tab l

Hi from Spain,
I've lost the battery cover's tab of my Muvo V200. I've read that Creative has a service in USA were they can supply some spare parts. Anyone knows which is the situation in Europe?. I can't use my Muvo without the this part and is frustrating, 30 euros to the bin, and a wonderful player, for a piece of white plastic.
Thanks

First of all many, many thanks for your help :-D. I will call the phone number today and I hope I get a positi've response. I plan to buy some items from the creative shop for my lovely Zen Micro (I like Creative products, you know, Sound Blaster, EMU, Creative cam... :-)). I was held by this incident though. Why? no one wants a product that is difficult to get spare parts for, at least not me. I trust Creative and I hope their customer support is as good as their products or as their comunity :-D.

Muvo V200 battery deplet

There's a bug in the Muvo V200. If you switch if off when playing .mp3 files, all is OK. But ehn you are listening to FM and switch it off, it seems to switch off correctly (stops radio and blanks the display), but 4 or 20 hours after that (without using the player), the battery is depleted and you can't start it up if you don't change the battery (or recharge it). It happens with alcaline and Ni-MH batteries. It has happened to me 3 times, and now I'm sure that it happens only when I switch off the player in radio mode.
I use latest firmware (.0.03). Could a firmware update solve this bug?
Thank you for your support.

Hello, i have simular problems with my Muvo V200. After some weeks the battery is empty even when i don't use it. Measuring the current when switched off i noticed that there is still a current of mA!! This means that a fully charged battery will be empty after about 700 hours (30 days). I went back to the shop and got another one but it has the same problem.

Is Docking Station ruining the battery?

Hi,
My old laptop was a Lenovo something which was duplicated 1 for me and the same version for my parents..
I use to keep my AC out when 100% or my battery out when I'm at home.|
While they were plugged in - overcharging 24/7..
After 2 years mine was still great while theirs is now barely 10 minutes battery life.. You just unplug the AC and the PC screams low power..
Well now I have a new laptop: HP EliteBook 2570p, with a proper docking station for it..
I was half ear told that the docking station should smartly protect my battery life and I can count on it to not keep feeding my PC when 100% is reached..
As it sounds believable for the size of the dock, and the fact that its almost impossible to plug out the battery without shutdown the PC first and it would be kinda silly if it wouldn't keep it.. BUT.. I don't wanna take the chance..
A Google search wouldn't give me a proper answer and the manual doesn't speak about this..
Could any expert please vote for a true answer if this might hurt or not
An explanation in addition is recommended
Thanks ahead !

Hi McJordan,
HP Notebooks won't keep charging the battery once it has reached 100%. Gennerally speaking, if the notebook battery is at or above 95% charged when plugged in, the notebook won't charge the battery further. Charging will only occur after the battery has dropped below 95%, and only then will it charge up to 100% and then stop. This is true with or without the docking station.
My own Probook, is currently sitting at 97% available (Plugged in, Not Charging) as I write this.
There are two things to keep in mind when using a docking station with a notebook, one is that heat is the enemy of batteries and many other components in a notebook, so make sure that the notebook is not overheating by ensuring that vents are clear and clean and there is adequate air flow around the notebook. Also if you are using the Notebook primarily in the Docking Station so it is always connected to AC Power, at least once a month, take the notebook out of the docking station and allow it to use the battery down to where you get the warning that you need to plug it in, then put it back in the docking station and allow the battery to recharge to 100%.
I would also recommend reviewing the following two documents for additional tips on maintaining battery performance:
Improving Battery Performance (Windows 8, 7, Vista)
Understanding Lithium-Ion and Smart Battery Technology

Zbook 14 Extended battery fit with docking stations

I have a zbook 14 and extended battery CM03XL and also have the ultraslim docking station that you slide the connector that slides and locks into the notebook so the extended battery makes it impossible to use the docking station (the 3 cell battery lasts me 1.5 hours max w/ heavy use so I always need the battery slice with me and charged).
Is there an HP docking station I can use with this zbook 14 with the extended battery connected?

Hello, @panoulix
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP ZBook 17 Mobile Workstation is a commercial product. You can do this at Notebook - HP ProBook, ZBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:
HP ZBook 17 Mobile Workstation.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Error about docking station when booting but I do not have a docking station.

When I boot my Thinkpad T430S I get an error message from "Lenovo Settings Power" saying
"ocking Station AC Power Problem: AC power is detached from your docking station. For proper battery charging and docking station operation, connect the AC Adapter for the docking station".
I do not have a docking staion and the machine is new. Also, I notice that the little indicator on the battery icon in the notification area isn't coming on when I plug in the AC adapter but the batter is being charged. I have also noticed that the power setting is Windows isn't working like they should and the machine is put to sleep even when I tell it that it should never be. What could be wrong?

What is that fax message '''on'''? <br />Hard to understand how that is a Firefox support issue as Firefox doesn't have any fax capabilities.
Perchance, do you have an all-in-one printer which can receive a fax message? Printer, scanner, and fax machine combined.<br />
If so, try looking at your user manual for that all-in-one to learn how to print that message. Or consult with a support forum for that brand all-in-one printer.
Or maybe your problem is with the Windows 7 Fax and Scan feature? <br />

Why did my 4th generation iPod touch stop working with my docking station?

I have an Altec docking station and my iPod suddenly stopped working on it. The station comes on and makes a beeping noise like it is connected when I insert the iPod. However, the music will only come out of the iPod. The docking station will charge the battery on the iPod, so I assume it isn't broken.

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

Zen Sleek Missing

Hi I have mis-laid my install CD for my Zen Sleek. I have read the FAQ and it hasnt got me closer to being able to install the software required on a new pc. Can someone direct me to the correct Zen Sleek Driver and the correct version of Zen Sleek Explorer? Also do i need to use the latest firmware on the mp3 player?Message Edited by mastermindmark on 05-03-2006 07:32 AM

I also lost my cd, and search everything on creative.com for the drivers, but found nothing. Fortunately I found this link on google:

theres a link to the drivers. I tried a lot of things to get the Sleek to work, but nothing helped until I got these drivers. Hope that solves your problem

X 31 Thinkpad Docking Station

I have just acquired a docking station for my Thinkpad x31 which has an empty battery compartment. The part number for the docking ststion is 91P9024. Does anyone know what battery i need for this docking station?

the same battery you use on the actual X31, however do note that the battery compartment on the ultrabase or dock as you call it, doesn't have the ability to charge the battery.

Help, I let my battery go down completely, when I try to charge it the red battery flashing sign appears and then flicks off after a few seconds. I have tried a number of chargers and a docking station nothing works. Why won't it charge?

T60P w/Docking Station Battery & Power LED's Go out when Power button pushed rem batt to fix

Subject line says it - unit runs fine, battery is is good shape, replaced charger with a new spare. With PC on the docking station and all plugged in, both batt and power lights green, pushing either the laptop power button or the docking station power button, immediately extinguished both LED's and they remain that way until the laptop is removed from the docking station and the battery is removed and then reinserted into the laptop. PC will then boot and run normally with battery showing full or nearly full charge. Power cord can be reinstalled and all goes fine or the PC can be inserted onto the dock and all goes well also. But, after a normal power down, the restart problem reoccurs, etc.... Any ideas out there?

UPDATE #3
OK, getting interesting. Last test was to shutdown and leave off overnight, after having been successful at rebooting several times in a row beforehand. After it sat overnight, with AC adapter plugged in, it would not boot in the morning. Same situation as has been the case. Pulled out battery, reinserted, and boot took off. Later, laptop was taken to an off site meeting, whereupon, it would not boot no matter what was done with battery or adapter. Condition repeated back at home. I then decided to check the battery voltage and found it to be 12.78v, which from my battery knowledge for Li-Ion's should have only been a max of 12.30v for this nominal 10.8v Li-Ion Panasonic battery. (4.1 v/cell max, nominal 3.6 v/cell) So, it appeared to be overcharged and would be why I was seeing no problems with restarts or short-term shutdown/reboots, but only after the battery had time to fully (Over) charge. So, I connected a 1 amp load to the battery using a 12v automotive tail lamp bulb I had around and ran the battery down to 11.78 v. I just wanted it below 12.3v. When battery was reinstalled in laptop, boot was successful. At that point, I reenabled the Thinkvantage Power Manager 6.4 program thru the config.sys program, where I had previously disabled it, and then rebooted. Once booted up, I then ran a Battery reset, which took about 6 hrs to top of the battery charge, fully discharge it (somewhere in the 9 v range) and then recharge it. Once that completed, I removed the AC adapter and drained the PC down to about 90%, and shut it off. This morning, it booted just fine on the battery alone. I plugged in the AC adapter and it charged up, but only to 91%, where I had told it to stop thru TPM. It is now set in software to only charge to 91% and stop charging until the capacity falls to 85%. This is planned to be a temporary setting, just until I understand further what is happening. The 'reset' capacity of the battery is now 77 WH, vs the design WH originally available as reported by the battery BIOS as 84 WH. In other words, the new 100% capacity is 77Watt-hours instead of what the battery had two years ago when it was new. I also just discovered a 'Important Message' related to the Battery Software Update Utility that describes a problem with certain Panasonic manufactured Lenovo batteries that sounds like what I have been fighting. This problem battery is a replacement for the original one from 2007, which also died and completely locked out the laptop. Until I can get the laptop shutdown and pull the battery to check the FRU/partnumber, I will not know for certain if it is indicated in the Lenovo Battery Utility Update or not, but I'm betting it is.... stay tuned.....ok - just checked the battery - it is a 42T4620 and not one of those listed in the Battery Utility Software Update - but I think is should be! BTW, shutdown, removed battery to check P/N, rebooted - all fine. The 'acid' test will be to leave it plugged in over night and see if it restarts okay....TWT... oh, and in case you're wondering, I have a new laptop on order because this is nuts.......:-)
