Won't turn on

That happened to me. It was weird though, as it turned out there was no battery. I had turned it on and was listerning to it, and it had full battery, and then suddenly all the power was drained from it. I left it 48 hours, and then connected it to the computer.
Now it works great.

Same Happened For Me I Just reset it And It Worked

Lambo U Rock =D

Ok I had same problem, Zen V Plus wouldn't switch on, when plugged into PC no lights came nothing, absolutly dead. Found this on another website and well i'll be jiggered it worked, hope it does for you too.

Plug it into the PC, hold the power switch in the 'on' position, THEN trigger the reset button, (hold it in for a few seconds). make sure you feel the reset button depress.

Good Luck

hold reset + power button.
it happened to me just a minute ago, and now it's working perrrfectly. ^_^

same problem here...none of the solutions worked...but this one I found....it's the computer not the zen (i didn't think this would work but after i did this it started charging and turned on right away)

If you have windows set to do automatic updates, you most likely had a windows update installed that caused this conflict with Win Media Player 11. No fix has been posted by Microsoft yet, so the only workaround is to Uninstall/Rollback Windows Media Player 11. Goto <Control Panel<Add/Remove Programs and remove Windows Media Player 11. Follow prompts, restart computer when prompted to. Also uninstall Windows Media Player 11 Runtime application following same procedure above.
This will roll your Windows Media Player back to version 10 or 9, whichever you had installed prior to version 11. You will need to re-configure Windows Media Player again.

Your Zen should now be recognized by WMP and Creative software. You probably need to upgrade your firmware at this point, follow the instructions on upgrading your firmware, and you should be good to go.

This is a windows problem, not a creative problem. Dont blame Creative for the screwed up hotfixes that Microsoft puts out on a regular basi

I fixed it!! Totally died and wouldnt turn on. ehen plugged in only flashing blue light from play button. Plugged it into charger, held down play button and switched power to on. hold it. a reboot screen will come up, select last option. working fine now just needs charging. didnt lose file either, yay!

WOW! Thank you guys for this info! This has happened to me twice and I had sent it in to the manufacturer under the warranty. Then it happened to me again not 2 months later. I was furious! Again, thank you so much! The company should be thanking you guys too! ;)

hold power and reset worked for me too....!!! Thanks, posters.
