this is creative's support site it tells you to do some stuff, im guessing that you have already tried it, but perhaps not, from there you can send them and e-mail to further help you. if you have not, its most likely a good idea to register your player.

can you charge with an ac adaptor? was this dropped at all?

check the battery, try to recharge it before you turn it on

check battery or check ram.try firmware upgrade.

go zen web site and find ur manulas

OK to everyone who messed up the firmware of Zen Micro and run vista, u r all idiots, including me. my zen was stuck in recovery mode and recovery menu as everyone experienced and tried to upgrade the firmware via the firmware updater that didnt work, right? ok through research and time i came to realize that what was causing the updater to fail (...please connect your media player...) is windows media player 11 (ELEVEN !!) zen update firmware will work only with windows media player 10 (TEN !!) installed. y? i dont know and i dont care anymore now that my micro is fixed up and running with the latest released firmware.
method 1:
u can find smne with xp and wmp10 (rare) install drivers and run the updater or
method 2:
u can DIY and since it is impossible to uninstall wmp11 i did the unthinkable, no no not format and install xp to use wmp10 no no.

instead i used a program called VIRTUAL MACHINE WORKSTATION 6.5 (for links keep confidential suppling ur email to me) this program will allow u to install and run several operating systems at a time regardless of your current hardware, it will run as an application in vista O/S. so i installed xp pro (on vmware 6.5) that i had handy somewhere, and then the drivers from the creative disc. then i run the firmware updater and yes it recognises my zen for the first time and loads a brand new firmware. easy as that, zen reboots and main menu appears, what a joy.

so all i used was:
vmware 6.5
xp pro (wmp10)
creative disc
firmware updater by creative

installing operating systems on vmware is very easy and doesnt require restarts etc.. u can switch through vista and xp like a window application just like that.

hope this helps, zen micro is by far the ultimate mp3 player for its sound breathtaking performance and loudness, totally worth the trouble. this is 100% fixable

Press the reset button using a pencil point.

Go to this link and click driver, if you need the driver, then select your operating system and download the driver. There is a lot of software and updates for your mp3 player on there. Whatever software you need for it they will be on there.

use computer with your provided cable or use motorola charger.

Try reset several more times or reset using the computer. If you do a hard reset you will loose the data on the Zen. If you are ok with this do a hard reset or use the software to return to factory settings.

charge the zen via usb data cable by connecting it to the computer dont charge through plug switch
