Hold the power button for 10 seconds. this should cause reset. if it does not hold it again for 15 seconds this should cause it to power into repair mode where you will then need to plug it into your computer and update the firmware with the included software. hope this helps!

Try the Zune on a different charger or usb port. If that also fails, and the hard reset did not do the trick either, there is probably an issue with your motherboard (could be your dock connector or an electronic problem). There are third party Zune repair services, that will fix it for cheap. Even better, I found an DYI Zune repair guide, so you can do it yourself too. Part is available o nEbay. If you can't do it yourself, have a tech savvy friend do it for you.

SOURCE: My Zune froze and shut off, it won't turn back on.

I had the same thing happen to me. what you want to do is hold the back button down then the up circle key for about 5 to 10 seconds, that should solve you prob

Zune 120GB Battery(?) Issue

Send it in to Microsoft and they will be able to fix it for you. Otherwise, I'm sure there are online kits on how to replace the battery (but I fear they can probably get pretty messy just like phone repairs and such). Microsoft should be able to whip a new battery in there quickly.

Hello, i have a Zune HD.i do have internet access but i was wondering if there was a possible way to watch youtube videos as well?i get a pop up that says "Adobe Flashplayer required"??

The only way to watch youtube videos on the zune is to download them and convert them into a format that the zune can understand. Since the zune does not have the ability to play flash and there is no "app" to allow streaming.

Visit the following site if you want to try out converting videos for the zune.

Water in my zune

okayyy. why would you use water and soap?
You should have took a very very very damp rag and wiped it down.
You most likely need to get a new zune. BUt if your zune every gets wet somehow dont try and turn it on, let it sit for at least 24 hours...you will have better chance of it turning on then.

My Zune turned off and won't turn on, tried all the posted tricks! Help!!

hey! well i think i can help with this product.. i had the same one and what happened was that the USB port was dusty so i blew in it and it worked fine. But, you may want to consider letting the battery die. like let it sit for a day or two then hook it back up to your computer. this may work and it may not.. but it did work for me.

Blinking screen turning on and off

Mine does this if I let the battery get too low. In order to fix it I have to open the case, unplug the hard drive, plug the zune into my laptop and let the battery charge for a couple of minutes. I then turn it back off, plug in the HD again, replace the case, and plug it back into my laptop and it boots just fine.

I Imagine this means I have a weak battery (trying to spin the HD drops it below minimum voltage), but maybe this'll help someone else get up and running again.
