Zen Vision:M screen brok

Okay. Recently--I don't know how it happened--the LCD in my ZVM got absolutely busted. It's badly cracked, and basically beyond hope. (The audio still works fine, small comfort that that is.) So, my question is basically--is there any way I could get the screen repaired or replaced? (My warranty's long expired, so I know I'd have to pay for it...) Or would it just be easier and less of a hassle (and not much more expensi've) to just get a new one?

I'm sure you could send it to Creative to have it fixed, but you would have to pay for it, but it would be a lot less than buying a new one.

  • Zen Vision: M Screen replacem

    Just a FYI.
    If your screen cracks due to ANYTHING whatsoever, it's $22 down the tubes.
    Plus the cost of you shipping the player to them.
    This happened to me, it can happen to you.
    Thank you, who/whatever broke my screen (my guess is that I sat down, and the player in my left front pocket bumped into the armrest). That's the last time I put a pocket sized appliance in my pocket without special protection.
    This would have been avoided if there was a hard plastic case for the thing.

    I recommend using OEM battery made by Creative.

  • Zen Vision M Screen Problem

    As of a few days ago, my Zen Vision M has had these horiztonal white lines on the screen, and they run through everything (movies, music, wallpaper, etc.). They obviously aren't part of my wallpaper, and changing the wallpaper or reformatting the ZVM doesn't work. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this, and assuming I would have to send it in, would my extended warranty cover the problem?

    Try updating the firmware, but if that doesn't help I'd recommend getting in touch with Customer Support.

  • Zen Vision LCD screen

    I bought a Zen Vision some time ago (not M or W, but the standard one), and unfortunately the LCD screen not being reinforced with any additional layers of glass, it cracked pretty quickly. After pretty much 2 weeks of use. Creative support insisted that it was my fault, and I did not get a refund nor a new player.
    My question is: is there any way or chance that I can obtain (buy?) a new LCD screen for this particular Zen Vision, from Creative or other sources? Thanks in advance.

    Search Ebay for "Zen Vision" . I came accross this one cheap.

  • Any way of turning the Zen Vision:M screen backlight off

    I've just bought a Zen Vision:m, which is fantastic apart from one thing. The backlight for the main screen doesn't turn off after a few seconds, only the lights behind the buttons do. You can reduce the brightness of the screen, but that's about all.
    I just wondered if there's a way to get it to turn off after a few seconds, or if there's an option that I've missed somewhere?

    Once the player is playing slide the power switch to lock position and the display turns off.

  • Creative Zen Vision M screen looks abstract paint

    Help. I am not sure what has happened but whatever happened isn't good. I took my Zen with me 4 wheeling and plugged it into my ATV to recharge. When we got back from hiking I climbed on and started my ATV and drove home. My Zen was working just fine but when I got home and looked at the screen it looked like somebody did an abstract on it in black and white. Needless to say nothing has worked to change the screen and now I cannot use it. Does anyone have any idea what I have done? Thanks

    Too late. I contacted customer support today and made arrangements to return it under warranty for service. I was honest about it so we will see what they say after checking it. I was also told that I shouldn't even be using it on an ATV as it has moving parts in it and it shouldn't be jumbled around that way. I was also told I shouldn't use it when jogging for the same reason. I didn't realize these MP3 hard dri've players were so sensiti've. My ipod never had any problems and I used it on my ATV for 5 years.

  • Zen Vision: M Screen Doing Something We

    [url="http://farm.static.flickr.com/28/392245295_3a50b8a05.jpg">Photo hosted on Flickr[/url]
    As you can see in the picture the screen colors cut down the middle and the left become reddish. This started happening recently, and I think it may have to do with it being cold outside which is where I mostly use it.
    Has anyone else run into this?Message Edited by gk28 on 02-6-2007:04 AM

    Hi !
    I just saw the picture and indeed it's VERY WEIRD ! I guess that's a hardware problem. You can still try to format your Vision: M and install the latest firmware on it. If it doesn't work, try to exchange your Vision: M to your electronic store or send it to Creative, I think that they can replace it.

  • Zen Vision M screen keeps freezi

    It has been only a few months since I bought this MP3 player. I do not know whether it's a problem only for mine or it happens to many MP3 players. I used to have Ipod Mini and never had a problem like this. When the screen freezes, I have to press the little reset button and I have realized that I see shadows of some words. I don't think it's common. Just now my screen is freezed again and I had to use a paperclip to reset it. It happens once in awhile, I can understand that. It has happened to me at least 5 times. This past week happened twice already. Can it be defective? Or it's just the way many Vision M is? My warranty is still valid since it's been only a few months. Should I return it to Creative?

    freezing prob could be due to firmware issueis your firmware the latest?

  • Creative Zen Vision:M - Screen cracked - unviewab

    Hello, my players screen has cracked, the rest of the player is perfectly fine and I can still listen to music, just the screen is completely broken, I want to know if you can send it in for repairs, and roughly how much it will cost?
    *note to self, be more careful with small LCD screens.
    Thanks

    You're SOL dude...
    I've had a cracked screen for a month now and have tried everything...
    -tried to return it-too late
    -tried to buy a replacement screen-can't find them anywhere and they're made in singapore
    -tried to use an ipod video screen-doesn't fit
    -So you gotta send it back to creative-cost: ~$20.00 and no player for a few weeks
    Good luck, you're taking it better than I did

  • I broke my Screen on my Zen Vision:M Where do i send it to get fix

    ?I bought my creative Zen Vision M from "Future Shop" in Victoria and?I dont know how it happend I just want it fixed. They said it could be fixed, so they sent it away but apparently it can't be fixed. I know the warrenty dosent cover it I dont care I just want it Fixed, where can?I send it to have the screen replaced? Other than the screen this thing is awsomeMessage Edited by thedaver2 on 03-06-200707:54 PM

    The warranty won't cover it if you broke it, but sometimes tech support let things slide if you're really nice to them.Other than that.....buy a new one. Thats what I did. If you did find someone who could fix it, they'll probably charge you just as much as a new one.

  • Creative wall adapter broke my Zen Vision:

    Okay, I am having a problem.
    So I bought the Creative ZEN power adapter for my player, I bring it home, turn my player on and then off and plug it into the adapter expecting the screen to turn on, but it doesn't. I unplugged it to see what the problem was but now the screen won't turn on anymore. So basically my zen's turned off and won't turn back on. I'm suspecting that the DC adapter broke it because I obviously didnt and it like died right after I plugged it in. This is thoroughly upsetting as I bought the official DC adapter and it specifically states that it's for all zens except for the nano and nano plus, and I have a creative zen vision: M, so this really shouldn't be a problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or insight as to what's going on? This is really upsetting me.

    I had a very similar problem with my Vision:M. It worked fine until I tried to use the official creative adapter, and then it would only go to the background screen with the adapter icon in the top right corner. I couldn't actually use the player, and when I unplugged it, I could not get it to turn on again. I tried to reset it, but it would not do anything. I have been able at least to transfer the files from the player to my computer by connecting both the power adapter and the USB cable at the same time, but I still cannot get the player to function as a player. So basically, all I have now is a very expensi've external hard dri've. This is extremely frustrating, and I would also appreciate any advise anyone could give.

  • Zen vision:m problem.. doesn't turn on/black screen/

  • Zen vision M 30GB blank white screen

    I have scanned the forum for a smiliar problem but I need more help.
    My Zen vision M, 30GB player is a 2004 model, my Operating system is Windows Vista, 32-bit. I'm not sure what firmware I have on my player. As of last week, I have only a blank white screen; I have backed up all my contents and dowloaded the recovery tool with no result.
    After contacting Customer service, they sent me to the forum to look for help or buy a new unit...just want to make sure there is no other recourse I can pursue.

    A white screen can not be repaired it must be replaced. It is a hardware issue not software. You can do it yourself. Purchase another screen & replace it. I have done this many times.
