Zen touch wont charge

i just got my 20gb zen touch last night for christmas and it wont charge! theres a little light on the charger that i would think needs to light up to show the charger is working .. it doesnt light up .. is my brand new charger broken?

I take it you are trying to charge from the A/C adapter? The easiest way to determine whether the problem is with the adapter or the player is to try charging your player via USB. In order to do this, connect your Touch to the computer via USB. The player will automatically turn on, so turn it back off (it won't charge via USB if the player is turned on). Also, your computer should be on. If it charges, than the problem is with the A/C adapter. If it doesn't charge, the problem is most likely with the player itself.
Charging is indicated by a lightning bolt on the battery-level symbol.

My ipod touch wont charge nor will the computer recognize it as an ipod

my iPod touch wont charge when connected to my lab top but it isnt the usb cord or port because it works for a different iPod and my computer wont recognize my ipod.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Zen Touch wont turn on nor cha

i brought my zen touch 2 days ago, i charged it and once it went dead flat i put it back on charge and now it wont chrage at all or turn on. i tryed charging it thought usb but that wont world either. how suggestions?

Hiroshima_X,
Is this the Zen 20GB (looks like a Zen Micro)? If so, the reset button is located underneath the power switch (move it to the left and you will see a small button underneath, this is it). To get into rescue mode, hold the switch to the left and the press the reset button (keep the switch held until you get into the rescue mode screen).

Zen Touch first-charge probl

Hello,
I have received a Zen Touch, and I plugged it in to charge it for the first time, but no battery meter appears to tell me how it is charging. When I turn it on while it is plugged in, the icon at the upper left is the plug only, which means that it is simply running off of external power...nothing about it being charged. Any help would be appreciated, maybe some of you have suggestions or stories about your first charge. The player works fine when it is plugged in, but it doesn't appear to be charging.

If your battery isn't charging you should first try resetting the player. If this doesn't help then try running a disk cleanup. For the Zen Touch: To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. For the Zen Micro: To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.
If this still doesn't help then connect the transformer to the wall socket, and the Zen to the transformer. Then turn the wall socket switch on and off several times. The power spike *might* jump the charging circuit.
If this still doesn't help then contact Customer Support.

Zen Touch Car Charger Usage Questi

]Hi, I have the Zen Touch and plan on using it mostly in the car. ?All
of my MP3's are at 92kbps and I have the volume set fairly high. ?I
don't want to worry about the Zen's battery running out, so I have
purchased the official car charger (DC through the cigarette lighter)
from Creative. ?
I am wondering if it will be ok to have the car charger plugged in all
the time, both when I am using the Zen and when it is just sitting in
the car, turned off. ?Or, shoulld I just charge it when it needs it's
Is there any real chance of damaging the Zen if I leave the car
charger plugged in most of the time?
TIA.

for most lithium batteries it isnt useful to continusly charge them. I coulnt find an article I read that talks about batteries anyhow this might help

Zen Micro wont charge using USB

Hi,
Can anyone help me. I have just purchased a Zen Micro and a Zen Touch. The Touch works fine. My wifes micro on the other hand is not - there was no charger in the box. I was under the impression that it can also charge using USB, but my machine (which is quite old btw - P4 650mhz Gateway) does not recognise it. Is it a problem with my machines USB, or is it more likely to be a problem with the Micro? I have purchased a Charger which should be around in the next couple of days (thinking it may need to be charged using a charger on the initial charge).
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Do you know what firmware your wife's Micro has? (Check System > Information from the Micro's main menu to be sure.) Also, what Windows version (and service pack, if any) do you use?
Do you plan to use "to go" subscription services with the Micro? Current "to go" services include:
FYE Download Zone (US only)</LI>
HMV Digital (UK or Ireland)</LI>
Napster To Go (US, Canada, or UK)</LI>
Rhapsody To Go (US only)</LI>
Virgin Digital (UK only; US version doesn't support "to go")</LI>
Yahoo! Music Unlimited (US only)</LI>
For the Touch, did you install the drivers from the CD, or download the latest drivers from here? You probably should download the new driver (unless you have 2.x Micro firmware with WinXP SP or 2) to be sure it will support the Micro too.
Are you connecting the Micro directly to your PC, or thru a hub? If to the PC, is the USB connection you're using on the front or the back of the PC? It's best to connect to a USB jack on the back of the PC if possible, not to a front jack or hub (especially an unpowered hub which won't charge the Micro). It's also possible that the Micro has issues with your PC's USB configuration; you may need to buy a separate USB card (preferably USB 2.0--you probably have USB . jacks).Message Edited by RBBrittain on 09-05-2005 07:09 PM

My iPod touch wont charge or turn on?

My iPod touch was not fully charged but it had some charge and then it just turned off and now it won't turn back on. I plugged my iPod touch into charge and the red battery and lightning symbol comes on but that is still there a couple of hours later. If I unplug it it, is just a black screen and no matter what I do nothing happens. I can't turn it on and I have tried several different chargers that work for other devices so it is not the charger. I am abroad so I haven't got my laptop to see if it will charge that way or be detected in iTunes. I have tried resetting it and restarting it but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you.
