Zen Touch Back-up Battery Pa

Is there any where I can get a back-up battery pack for the Zen Touch, that takes standard batteries eg AAs?
Or, is are there any plans to develop one?
I know that pdinternal do one for other Creative products, but not the Zen Touch.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Yes, these batteries exist & on a sale for pretty cheap. But think first do You really need one until your first one runs out? I'm asking because if You want to change batteries while traveling, You will have to open it with screw driver with high possibility to break smth. If You just want to preserve extra battery until first one runs out, it wion't work neither, because Li-Ion batteries' lifetime is 3 years, no matter if You use them oer not. But this is Your choice. If You really want one, here's the link:

  • I just sent back my zen touch...what can I expe

    After sending my zen touch back when can I expect to get it's I don't really want a generic answer here. I dont want the creative answer but I would like to hear maybe from someone else who has had to send theirs back. I also have 2 other questions if anyone has done this before.
    . Do they send me a new unit or my original one?
    2. Do they typically not make you pay for the unit if it is a headphone jack issue even if it is after the 90 day warranty?
    Thanks for the help

    Anecdotally it takes a week or two, but I can't guarantee that will be the case for you.
    . Normally it's a new unit. Don't forget to backup the music on your current player.
    2. For an Xtra this was the case. I'm not sure this is the case for a Zen Touch.Message Edited by SSR on 02-24-2005 0:45 AM

  • How Can I Ensure My Zen Touch Has The PlaysForSure Upgra

    I recently sent my 20 gigabyte Zen Touch back to Creative for a Hardware repair. I got it back last Friday "Like New". But I'm not sure it has the PFS upgrade installed. So here's my Stupid Question:
    How can I make sure it does?

    Click the menu option-choose information, from the information screen, you'll be able to tell what version of the firmware your Touch has installed.

  • Creative zen touch Major prob

    <FONT color=#0033ff size=4>I tried allof this ----->Creative Zen Firewire / USB 2.0 / Zen NX / Zen Xtra / Zen Touch
    Ensure that the Jukebox Zen is turned off. Hold down the Play/Pause button and insert a paper clip into the Reset hole on the Jukebox Zen. Remove the paper clip from the Reset hole. The Jukebox Zen will enter the Recovery (Rescue) Mode (release the play/pause button) and the following options will be displayed:
    ).Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players harddisk)
    2).Format All (Formats the players harddisk - <B>Note:</B> all contents will be lost)
    3).Reload OS (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox. <B>Note:</B> Reloading your OS, will not effect the contents of the files stored on your Jukebox Zen)

  • The old Zen touch into zen vision w tr

    I'm sure this has been posted years ago, but is there any way to put the music from the zen touch back into your computer or into the zen vision w. Or is it that the zen touch really sucks because its encrypted?

    Encrypted? Definitely not. I am able to transfer files between my Touch and my computer without a problem. Are the files you are trying to transfer from an online store? or are they from CDs that you have ripped?Eric

  • Is it safe to attempt to turn on your zen touch while battery is dead

    When I first got my micro i turned it on strait out of the box... The micro had about one bar worth of battery power...
    When i got my new Zen Touch I was so exited i just ignored the fact that the owners manual says, "Make sure battery is fully charge before use."
    I just went a head and tried to turn it on.... When i did, nothin' happened. I thought the touch was broken...
    I then plugged it in to the charger and tried to fire it up once more. It worked!!!
    Now I'm just curious... Are you damaging your touch when you try to turn it on, on an uncharged battery straight out the box? And when you try to turn it on nothing happens?
    Plz respond.
    Thanks
    Can i cause damage?
    did i cause damage?

    Response to "Troopscoop"
    Well I own a white 5 gig zen micro, and a 40 gig zen touch....
    the strollpad on both players, in terms of sensitivity & style are alike.
    the only difference is, the touch strollpad is longer, that's it.
    PS: the micro's back light is way brighter than the touch's though.

  • ZEN TOUCH BATTERY REPLACEMENT POL

    BEFORE I PURCHASED MY ZEN TOUCH 40GB, I EMAILED CREATIVE TO SEE WHAT THERE BATTERY REPLACEMENT POLICY WAS. I GOT AN EMAIL BACK SAYING CREATIVE WILL REPLACE THE BATTERY FOR YOU FOR ABOUT $80, YOU JUST HAVE TO SEND THE UNITY TO THEM. THIS WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR ME TO GO WITH THE ZEN TOUCH OVER THE IPOD, THE BATTEYR REPLACEMENT POLICY WAS CHEAPER AND BETTER. CREATIVE SAYS THE BATTERY SHOULD LAST BETWEEN 3-4 YEARS UNDER NORMAL USUAGE BEFORE YOU HAVE TO SEND IT IN TO BE REPLACED. MY QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE HAD TO SEND IN THEIR ZEN TOUCH TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED YET? IF SO HOW LONG DIDI IT TAKE TO GET YOUR PLAYER BACK? HOW MUCH DID IT COST? WHEN YOU GET A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED DOES THIS MEAN WHEN YOU GET THE PLAYER BACK YOU HAVE TO RE-LOAD YOUR MUSIC FROM SCRATCH?
    THANK YOU

    Wow, I am glad someone has asked Creative about that - that is good news, my sister (who owns "my" Touch) will appreciate that! Incidentally, Apple just lowered the price for their iPod battery replacement program to $65.95:

  • Zen Touch Battery Quest

    when i first bought my zen touch, i started loading songs on it through theusb port because i was told that the usb also charges the battery, but i didnot realize that the usb only charges the battery when the player is turnedoff, so when i loaded my first batch of music onto my player the battery wasnot charging like i thought, so i kept going back and forth from the acadaptor to the usb just to make sure the player was working and to load somemusic onto the player and listen to it to make sure it worked correctly,then i realized i had to fully charge the battery before i could really useit. so after doing all this i decided to just charge the battery fullythrough the ac adaptor before loading anymore music and playing any moremusic on my zen touch. i hope by starting off like this that i didnt do anydamage to the battery or shorten the life of it between charges because ididnt fully charge it at first before doing any transfering and playing ofmusic. please tell me there is no possiblity of ruining the battery life percharge or overall by doing what i did.thank you

    It's hard to know for sure. I even contacted the author of BatteryUni'versity.com to ask about initial charging, and he was unsure as to whether it really makes any difference. So the general school of thought at the moment is that an initial charge certainly doesn't do any harm, so it might as well be done (you'll see some manuals even recommending three complete charges and discharges).

  • Zen Touch Battery Is

    Hi,
    Just recently I bought a Zen Touch. I've always charged after the "low battery" sign is displayed, played songs at 92 Kbps, and rarely used equilizer settings. However, I'm still beginning to notice severe shortening of battery life. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong/what I should do to prevent this? Thanks.Message Edited by t3hggnore on 03-27-200605:32 PM

    I agree that comment was totally uncalled for...
    Charging the battery when the?battery is totally depleated can do more harm than good especally with the type of battery in these players, I would reccomend that its charged as soon as the battery hits one bar on the display.
    Charging via USB is slower compaired to DC charging. If you use a DC adapter when your player's battery is almost depleated then it , charges faster and 2, it's supplying a fair enough voltage and current and also delei'vers a deeper charge compared to USB charging

  • Zen Touch battery issue, pleas

    Hallo, and thanks for reading me.
    few issues...
    First: is it normal that when you transfer many cds to the Zen Touch it looses one or two battery points even when fully charged? considering that it is really new it is worth asking...! wasn't it supposed to last 24h? And when is the best time to rechardh it's from totally uncharged or from middle charge? any other key thing concerning battery life that i should know?
    Second: how can i create a playlist directly from the Touch?
    Thanks a lot friends!!!

    As Igedit says, yes it's normal. The battery can run flat in an hour or two during transfers, so use the mains adapter if you can.
    Second: how can i create a playlist directly from the Touch?
    See in this thread.

  • Creative Zen Touch Battery Drain

    I need to drain the battery of my Zen Touch completely. It has a nasty habit (well this is the third one in a row now in 5 months) of freezing and not allowing me to select any options in the recovery menu, or going past the Zen Touch startup screen:angry:.
    Anywhoo... I need to drain the battery completely because I have the sneaking suspicion that its stuck in a loop that cant be broken by reset (which I have tried), or screaming at it :-)
    But I digress. I run it down so it switches itself off, and when you press the power button it flashes 3 times. This to me indicates it still has power in it.
    Question - "How long till this "internal" power is used up?"
    Question 2- "Is there anyway I can drain the fukker quicker than letting it sit idle for a couple of days?"
    Cheers Ears for the Suggestions anyon might care to share.
    A close to depressed/angry/manic Creative audiophile

    I very very very much doubt that flattening the battery will solve the issue.
    But, the player goes into a standby mode for 24 hours. After this it will go into a full shutdown, which you'll be able to spot due to the increased bootup time.
    The absolute fastest way to drain the battery is to download/upload tracks to/from it. This hammers the hard disk which is the biggest battery consumer.
    And please try to keep the language clean...

  • Zen Touch Battery Drain When Doc

    whenever i am transferring my music to my Zen Touch through my computer, the battery in my Zen drains really quick (after maybe 4 hours of transferring, the whole battery could be drained). i thought when it's docked it's supposed to actually charge it's am i doing something wrong or is this a harware issue? thanks!

    Only the Micro charges when it's docked. Transferring files uses a MASSIVE amount of batter power. Best to be done with the mains adapter connected if you can.

  • Zen touch from firmware 2.11.1.0 back to 1.1.3.0 or earl

    Hi,?Does anyone know how to revert back to firmware ..3.0 or earlier for the zen touch 20gb? I just installed 2...0 and I really dislike the sound quality. I know the website says this is not possible. Please tell me this is not true!?Thanks for your time?btw Be warned, unless you really?need to, think twice before installing. I don't know if other people have suffered a big loss in sound quality after installing new firmware, would be great to know if you did.

    HI,
    There are alternative ways of how you can recompile or recreate  on least if you are unable to compile the object.
    1. Run compile apps schema from add one
    2. compile using utlrp script ( u have tried this)
    3. compile using adcompsc.sql script located at $AD_TOP/sql
    4. If none of this work you may recreate the object using *.pls or *.plb file located at OS level, you may find which binary file with the help of user_objects dictionary (otherwise simply use toad or third party softwares to identify and recreate them)
    Hope this helps!
    Best Regards,

  • Zen touch battery replacem

    Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible after the non-replaceble battery of the zen touch once goes dead to send the player to Creative to exchange the battery?

    You can replace the battery yourself, so I guess that creative could do it to. If you would do it yourself, the warrenty would be void, but the battery should not die before 90 day warranty..
