Hi,

In my opinion, Replace battery & try again if its not working yet then check this is its working but display blan so then you have to change display of MP3 player.

Well let me try to solve your problem.

There is a support site of Creative that contains a lot information about the Zen V Plus:
support site for Zen V Plus

When using the knowledgebase solution for "no screen" action Creative
advises to have the firmware reinstalled. See the online page:
Troubleshooting Display Screen Issues


First reset the player and have it charged. Use the reset button on the
left side and see the link How To reset and charge the device

Finally use the page for MP3 recovery

You need to download the MP3 Recovery Tool for this.


When still having problems just post a comment.

    Note: Before performing a firmware reinstall on your player, first backup your data to the computer.

I have a Zen V plus , the screen has become really dark I can barley read it . what should I do?

Bad news. The Zen V Plus is known for screen problems - early warning signs include screen discoloration, lines on the screen or dimming. Eventually, the screen will go black.

Possible reasons include poorly-mounted screens, short life of OLED displays, and susceptibility of screens to damage from moisture.

Best bet for a replacement screen is buying a scrapped Zen V Plus on eBay. Here's a great guide to taking apart your Zen.

I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD ZEN V PLUS. THE DISPLYA

ah, i have the same thing. it's damage to the screen, as far as i know. i just ignore it, except it's a pain for videos and pics. you can look around for a replacement screen if it's really bothering you, but you'll probably want to go find a repair shop to do it.
