Zen vision:m Power Adap

Hi!
I'm going to buy a zen vision:M, I read some reviews but i can't understand if the AC power adapter is included or not.
In the product page on creative website it is not mentioned, but i've seen many photos with it.
Thanks

I've bought a Zen vision:m by Amazon in USA a brought it to Brazil, and guess: no power adapter. I've mailed Creative because in the manual, on page 4, the customer is instructed to fully charge the bateries by using a power adapter. The answer was a list of what I should get in the box, and the list does not include the power adapter.
So I think that at a first moment it was included and later on Creative decided to exclude it but did not update their instalation manual.
The power input in the ZVM is for 5V-DC and I have on 5V adapter. But to make sure I will use it right I would like to know whether the adapter provided by Creative has the negati've pole at the external ou in the internal part of the output jack.
If someone who has the adapter and has a multimeter could check this for me I would appreciate.

Zen Vision M Power Adapter questi

I have a Zen Micro with the USB power adapter, i.e., the one that has an AC connection on one end a mini usb connection on the other. Can I use this to recharge a Zen Vision M?
Thanks,Mark

Zen Vision:M power adapter specs: input 00-240VAC ~ 50-60 hz .3 Amps
Output : 5V 000 mA
so in order for the micro charger to work it has to have an output of 5v and i think 500 mA wil lcharg eit but itl take the same amount of time to charge as the usb way will. not sure thoug. someone correct me?

Anyone know if there is an adapter on the market that will allow you to plug a zen vision M into an IPOD style speaker-system?

Zen Vision:M power charger/mains supp

Hi all.
Just bought this off Ebay so that I can charge my ZVM in less time than the USB lead takes. I believed when I bought it that it was also a power supply, as in, enabled the ZVM to run off the mains and so not use up the battery. Am I wrong here? And if so, what should I be looking for for the latter?
Thx to anyone who can help.

When you run your Zen Vision: M off any charger and use it while its plugged in it doesnt take any power from the battery, it uses power from your plug that is transfered through the adapter. Using your Zen Vision:M while charging does slow down the charging process a little bit, but not by much. I hope this explanation has solved your question.

Another New User, Please Advise, Can I Permanently Use Zen Stone From Power Adap

Can I permanently run my new Zen Stone directly from the Zen USB Power Adapter. Like I have my Zen Stone connected to small speakers and would like it to run off the Zen Power Adapter (wall charger) not the battery, permanently. In other words I would like to keep it plugged into the Power Adapter all the time and run it that way so I don't have to run it off the battery and keep charging it. Is this OK to do Please advise this senior citizen trying to keep up with all this great stuff.

Creative Vision:M Power Adap

I went to an electronic store to get a power adapter for my vision:m to plug into the wall since I don't always have a computer with me. They gave me a power adapter for a cell phone and said that any mini-USB power adapter should work. Well it didn't!
Has anybody gotten any mini-USB wall power adapters to work? I ordered one from the Creative site but it's on backorder.

Love the Vision but frustrated trying to get it to charge other than with USB connection to computer.
I have the mini USB wall charger from the Micro (and it meets all the specs for the Vision), but it does not work.. When I plug it into the wall it turns on the Vision but does not charge it.
Using the USB connection to the computer takes way too long and is no good when I am on the road - not going to lug around a computer just to charge the thing, so I am about ready to take it back.

Vision M power adap

I've just received my Vision M from amazon.co.uk, on their product description it says that the player comes with a power adaptor with interchangeable plug. I presumed that this meant I am given a charger which I can plug straight into my mains switch. This was not in the box that I received. I told amazon about it and they sent out another box and again this did not have a charger which I can plug straight into a wall switch. This has left me wondering, was this supposed to come in the box? Does this mean I can only recharge my player through my PC and will have to buy a seperate adaptor to recharge through a normal switch? Or have Amazon made a mistake twice!?
Thanks

Can someone please tell me if the power adaptor is included in the UK box? If it isn't, where can I buy one?

Zen Vision:M 30GB won't power down; any ide

I've had a 30GB Zen Vision M for a couple of months now! Awesome player, went through the usual round of recognition problems, but it's been working fine of late. My problem is, it won't power down now. When I try to power down, the unit says it's powering down, the dispaly goes black except for the battery icon. And it stops there. The blue backlight on the menu buttons stays on, the battery icon stays on, and eventually it turns off after 5 minutes because of being idle. Not a terrible problem I know, but a real niusance. I am running the most current firmware (have been for a while). I've tried resetting and clean-up. No change. I'm afraid of trying to reinstall the firmware, in case I have the same problem that many others are having, and go from a good player with a power issue, to a player that does nothing. I can't see it being the power switch itself, since it powers up fine, and tries to power down. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. birder

Hello Dsgrov,
Welcome to Creative forums!
You can get a lot of results if you search "Zen Vision M not charging" on the search box.
Here's one, you might want to check this thread.

Universal Power Adapter for Europe for my Zen Vision

I'm going to Spain in 2 weeks and i'm wondering if the Uni'versal Power Adapter will work with my Zen Vision: M. In the compatability section, it names several models, but I don't see the Vision: M. Does that mean I won't be able to bring my Zen with me? Or am I just not looking hard enough and I can actually buy the Uni'versal Adapter?

Hi,
The Uni'versal Power Adapter is compatible with your Vision: M, see the specs.
Bring along with you the Sync Adapter, just in case.

Charging Zen V from universal power adap

My children have each a zen V, which easliy charges from the USB on the PC. However, I did an attempt to chrage with my uni'versal usb power supply which I use for my cell-phone pda (which of course is also possible to charge from the usb on the pc) with no success. Also tried the Hama one in the shop, as Creative must be ordered..., didn't work any better.
Anyone has an idea what causes it, and what can be done?
I have one idea, that the zen V needs some kind of signal through more than two leaders, which may have been designed into the Creative Power adapters... (not unlike the apple strategy...)
Also heard a theory that the power should give enough milliamps, but I'm sure that my i-mate has more to give than the pc-usb anyway, and also, I guess the Uni'versal Serial Bus standard must also be met...
Anyone knows?

Although I couldn't tell you about the specifics, you are generally better off using the adapter from the brand of electronics you have. I was just surfing the net, and Wal-Mart has the Creative Zen Uni'versal Adapter for around 25 dollars. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...duct_id=542752?I will be buying this adapter when I get my Zen Vision M from Staples. (I have a $00 gift card from work that is redeemable at Staples!)? From what I have gathered on this board, you are much better off using a wall plug in charger rather than using the USB to charge.

Creative Zen Vision M won't power up. Doesn't even show LED lig

I received a Creative Zen Vision M as a Christmas gift last year. Worked fine for about 3 months, then I started having repeated freezing problems. Fixed those, but eventually the unit just died. No indication of any power. Not even the blinking light. Went to Best Buy where it was purchased, but they could not help. Best Buy tried to find a purchase record, but no luck. After giving up on it for a few months, I thought I'd try again today. I've had it connected by USB for the last 7 hours, but no luck. So what can I do now I like the Creative Zen products (I have had no problems with another Creative MP3 player), and I'd love to get this player working again because I enjoyed watching movies on it in flight.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

This happened to me once, so I purchased a new battery, then left it plugged in for a few hours after that.
It froze when I started it up, but when I reformatted it, everything worked fine again.
That may or may not help, sorry.
Good luck =]

Zen Vision:M 60 GB-SOLUTION TO "NO POWER & CONNECTION" is

Problem:? Zen V:M 60GB not being recognized or charged by my PC. After the initial install, I thought?I had done everything right, so I left the Zen connected to the USB port to fully charge overnight. I went to turn it on the next morning but the Zen was?unresponsi've and would not turn on, eventhough the blue LED light near the power button was flashing. I immediatley uninstalled then reinstalled the software, same results. I then hit the Creative site and tried all of their fixes, but nothing worked. Email support was redundant and forget about Creative's phone support, with their inconvenient times, that needs to be addressed, come on Creative?it's called?"outsourcing". So I was left to fend for myself.
Solution:? Connect the Zen to the PC and Insert the installation CD. Only select the Zen Vision M software from the list of "software to be installed", uncheck the others, click "next" and STOP what you're doing!. At this point, patience is required. Wait until the Zen battery icon pops up on the Zen screen and/or until the Zen turns on. The window of opportunity is small at this point, so immediately start the software install. If you have the software installed already, then select the "Repair" option. If this is a complete reinstall then proceed with the installation as directed.
In a nutshell, the Zen has to have some power in order for the software and pc?to recognize the player. What we all did was, after receiving the Zen for Xmas, we all turned it on and started?messing with the player and then the battery died before installing. Hopefully this resolves your problem. Good luck!

Zen Vision M will not power on

My Zen Vision simply will not power on. I'm certain it is the battery as the battery life has become shorter and shorter and shorter. It will not power up at all now, in spite of attempting all the resets and other rescue/recovery options. I now li've overseas and I'm certain it would be out of warranty now. Very disappointing.

You can buy & replace the battery yourself.(they don't last forever) Video to open player http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Creative-ZEN-Vision-M-30gb-Battery-LPCS285385_W0QQitemZ400054965876QQcmdZViewItemQQpt ZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item5d25225674& _trksid=p39.c0.m4

Does the Zen Vision M come with the A/C power adapter in the

I'm getting a Zen Vision M, and was lead to understand it comes with an A/C adapter for recharging. Looking in Creative's shop and on amazon.co.uk , this is the list of package contents:
ZEN Vision:M?
Earphones
Sync Adapter
USB Mini-B Cable
Pouch
Installation CD
User?s Manual</LI>
Does this mean it does NOT come with an A/C adapter? I really hope by 'sync adapter' they mean the A/C adapter as well?

I bought mine from Amazon when they first came out, package included the AC, USB cable and the dongle.
I've also recently bought the cradle which came with an USB cable.
The first version (mine) came with a small dongle to attach to the bottom of the ZV:M which had slots for AC, USB and AV - the cradle is the same thing but enables the ZV:M to be sat upright on its own.
I'm guessing that Creative are going down the iPlod route and providing the capacity to charge whilst docked, but external power as an extra cost.
http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/p...asp?product=24 shows the cradle
http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/p...asp?product=23 shows the dongle
The cradle description suggests that the AC is included, but it's not totally clear - I certainly didn't get an extra AC when I bought the cradle in April.
Best thing to do is to give them a call (0800 376 7954 so free in the UK) and ask if a plug is in either of the above packages.
