Problem for Creative Labs ZEN V Plus MP3 Player

Dark screen for my creative zen?




By bigbaby on Aug 20, 2007

" "
This is my 2nd mp3 player (creative zen, 2gb) and after a while my screen just goes dark. I can't tell what songs are in my library or do anything else because I can't see whats going on. But, I can still hear music. Can you help me please?

Same Problem

-   I have the same problem, only this morning the music for me stopped working too. (after I clumsily dropped it while rushing to class...) I've had it for two years. It's been dropped several times in its lifetime, but I didn't even drop it or do anything to it when the screen went dark. -   zomg137

-   MY screen went almost completely dark with VERY little contrast, in light you can see nothing but in the dark you can somewhat see the images on the screen. It still functions fine aside from not being able to see ****.-   Guest

The previous poster is right; I do repairs on these all the time, and the most common problem is a cracked screen. The crack is on the back so you can't see it. The screen will need to be replaced.

it seems that you may need to have the lcd changed or reconnected. if it is going dark, it is probably that the screen is faulty and that is or has gone out on you.

same problem, it looks impossible to fix becuase there is no screws or any way in getting into the inside. Looks like a lost cause....

Same problem here, music plays but can't see the screen at all. It's gone from bad to not being able to see it all.

The LCD display has gone out on my Zen V plus. The player still works just can not see my display? I purchased the player about a year ago.

zen goes black cant hear or see songs

Comment by blu3jay, posted on Nov 13, 2007

My daughter's Zen was stepped on and the screen has been dark since. I guess that means the display is cracked somewhere and needs to be replaced. How/where can I get that done? I've googled for an answer but I'm not finding anything.

Thanks!
