TCH-Andy Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 What machine is it ? laptop? Desktop? Palm? What happens when you try and turn it on? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Have you tried looking through the technical help on the creative website? JimE Quote
makaveli Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 yep, and as with all tech support from the vendors its rubbish to say the least, it wont power on, so remove the battery and try again, er yeah. i've tried emailing tech support, but again i dont hold out hope. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I missed the title from a quick google, it seems the Creative Zen should have a hole where you can insert a paperclip (or similar) to do the reset. Depending on the model, you may need to press the play / pause button or the power button at the same time. Quote
makaveli Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) apparently they dont, only flash disk players have reset holes, hard drive ones you have to remove the battery, then put it in while holding on switch, a menu will come up.... not much use if you cant power it up Edited October 23, 2006 by makaveli Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but having googled this problem, it would seem a very common one. Is it still under warantee? JimE Quote
makaveli Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 yep, i have the care plan, i ripped dixons of and got it for about 75% less. only problem, i dont have "all the bits" or the box, and not sure where my reciept is. the major one is not having "all the bits" as they;l want it all, cables, books, cd's headphones...

makaveli Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 problem over, with creative use of words (no pun intended) i upgraded to a 30gb video zen Quote
