-   My microphoto onyl works when i plug it in to the computer using my usb cord but even then it barely works staying at a blank screen while the blue light fades in and out (which usuaully does this when charging). Then wherethe battery icon is on the top right has a lightning bolt through it but the mp3 battery does not charge what so ever please help.....also i got a new battery to see if that was the problem but thats not the case. with the new battery it still freezes but instead of a blank screen its the creative logo screen where it then makes a noise sounding somewhat like a strum of a rubberband and its the not the first time its mad that noise it constantly did it with my old battery when the problem first started...so anyone if its possible please help-   flipc2k4ts

-   Mp3 Microphoto turns on and only the creative logo appears, nothing else. The sound that gives out is like playing a rubberband and that is all the sound you here.
Please advise if can.-   flipc2k4ts

-   Same problem - Creative screen just stays on - and I can get to the reformat screen by holding the start button and removing the battery pack - but then it just sits there and says reformatting forever. Any other suggestions?-   amyjas
slide the back off, take out the battery, put it back in while holding the power switch on. THis brings up the Recovery Menu, from where you have various options, formatting being but one.

is the device found by your computer? if so open your 'my computer' folder (usually an icon on your desktop screen). if the device shows, right click on it. click format, quick format, start. then disconnect and power on your player. it should reboot itself. if it doesn't you may have other issues. check the creative website for product support. most players have a 'reset' function that sometimes works to unlock them. I'm not real familiar with this player and am unable to tell you how to do a reset on it. a simple test before reformatting would be to remove the battery from the player and then re-install it. sometimes this will also cause the player to reboot itself and solve the problem.
