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

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 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.

When you say screen damage, do you mean that the screen is scratched?
If you are looking for screen protection, there's one in the online store.

Zen Vision M LCD Screen I

Hello,
I am looking for any information on the LCD screen in the Zen Vision M. Manufacturer and model would be especially helpful.
Thanks,
Josh

I am guessing you can find most of that online (as in google and ask) but if not im sorry! All I know is its plastic and not real glass, scratches really easily and it really delicate!
First off, I have not been able to find this information on Google or anywhere else. If you can find it, I would be very grateful to you and somewhat amazed.
Second, the LCD screen is actually an LCD screen, not plastic. The plastic you speak of is the protector that is built into the casing of the ZVM.

Creative Zen Vision: M, Firmware 1.40.02 and screen backlight not blank

Is there a bug in the .40.02 firmware?
I just bought a Creative Zen Vision: M yesterday.
I noticed that with the out of the box firmware (.30.02), the LCD screen backlight would turn off to conserve battery power.
Later in the day, I upgraded to the .40.02 firmware posted May 24, 2006. Now my LCD screen backlight stays lit all the time.
Since the player is so new, I wonder if I'm imagining things.
Can someone with .30.02 or earlier firmware confirm that their screen backlight turns off after some period of time turning the screen dark?
Can someone reproduce the problem with the .40.02 firmware that the screen backlight stays lit, no matter how long since the last button press?
If I'm not imagining things, this would seem to dramatically affect the playtime on a full charge.
Thanks.

This is INDEED a problem.
The screen is? SUPPOSED to blank all by itself , NOT only with the lock button engaged. I have this exact problem and returned one player only to see the same thing with the next. I also have the .40.02 firmware !!! Creative support said to upgrade my firmware to .6.xx? and see what happens. If the screen doesn't blank by itself without the lock button,? they are sending me another player !
