Broken mp3 player
Wow ... had a relatively "new" one, ... was cleaning house, & just couldn't keep so much STUFF, around the house. I bought it ... then, something else came out out, so quick, I never had the chance to even get into the unit, & the accessories I purchased w/it. Money was yet again, going out the door, supporting teckies.

It's all in the timing.

I'd suggest searching on google®, for resolutions,/fixes, then search, eBay®. You may find a part there, or,?instructions, AND, a possible part. Ebay® can be, useful, in different ways, ... , not just for bidding, buying, & selling.

Don't know if this helps at all, but, we've all been there, in different ways, different devices. Someone, will have a used one, they want to unload, especially if they've the time to check, if someone is in need of one.

The screen says "Docked, please wait". It says
When this happened to me with my Zez I was able to reset it by pushing the reset button (located in a little hole next to the dock on the bottom of the unit) with a straightened paper clip or other small object capable of fitting in the hole for a few seconds until the unit fully resets.
If that doesn't work you can try putting the unit in to recovery mode to reset it by doing this:
  1. Detach the Zen Sleek player from your computer, and ensure that the unit off.
  2. Connect the power supply to the player (Optional, unless the battery is very low).
  3. Hold down the Play/Pause button, and then insert a paper clip into the Reset hole underneath your player, beside the data/power connector. reset_sleek.jpg
  4. Remove the paper clip from the Reset hole. The Rescue Mode screen will then appear.
  5. After the recovery mode has started, release the Play/Pause button

Getting out of recovery mode
I have the sleek photo and mine bugged out yesterday. It would go to the splash screen and then go blank and just sit there. Nothing would respond. I tried reset, reboot and other things too. My pc also would not recognize the player. To make a long story short, I tried other suggestions I found on the web. They didn't work and my player would now only go to a garbled splash screen and go right to the recovery screen.


I had the new firmware, but I couldn't use it because the pc wouldn't detect the goofy player. Then I ran across a site that mentioned that Windows Media Player can cause player recognition problems. I removed both WMP (mine was 11) and WMP runtime using the add/remove programs option on the control panel. I restarted the pc and BAM! the player was now recognized. I ran the new firmware application and the player works fine now. The key for me was getting rid of WMP and the WMP runtime.

Help! Devices show as working, but "not detected" when opened
You could try to go into the registry and remove the usb enumeration folder "USB" .HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\ change permissions for it to be able to remove it. When you restart your computer all usb devices will be recognized and installed again. Let me know if this helps or not.

Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20GB
It's probably too late for your nees but for future users, push a pin into the rest hole on the bottom of the player while AT THE SAME TIME holding down the play and power buttons. Yes, I know you need three hands to do this. That should bring up a recovery screen Try "Clean-up" on that screen.

Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB
Did you try uninstalling WMP11 from your computer , then reinstalloing the Creative software? The two programs are not compatible if WMP11 was there first. Once you hae the computer recognizing the player, you can put WMP11 back without messing it up.

My Creative zen Sleek Photo is frozen
Hi,

Initially, would suspect that the hang or froze. A couple of ideas that you can try:
double check that the unit is fully charged;
  • do a rest. There would be a reset button inside a small hole, you can use a dull pin, straightened paperclip or even a toothpick;
  • verify that the "Hold" is disable/disengaged;
  • access the Recovery Mode. Press and hold the Play/Pause button while doing the reset as above described;
  • there would be several options. You can try all except Reload OS/Firmware;
  1. Clean Up is scans and remove invalid music library;
  2. Format (All) erases everything saved;
  3. Reload OS/Firmware would be a last resort;
  4. Reboot will restart the device.
  • Should it be a battery issue that will not hold a decent charge, you can replace it. Pls follow instructions from here;
  • If all else fails, reload the firmware. Pls reference the Creative website for instruction and latest update.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

My Zen Sleek Photo is a victim of a soda spill

Impurities in the soda (sugars, salt, etc...) can mess up both the electronics and the controls in an electronic device.  Getting the impurities out of the unit is the problem.  One solution I have used successfully with my cellphone (contaminated by sweat):

Remove the battery if possible (definitely turn the unit off!).  Soak the unit in CLEAN (no soap or other additives), warm (not hot) water, swishing it around gently from time to time, for a couple of hours.  If the water turns at all cloudy, replace it with clean water.  Then let the unit dry completely before turning it back on.  This may take several days, putting the unit in front of a dry air source such as a fan, shaking the unit gently from time to time (to move any water pockets around so they dry faster).

It worked on my phone, but my phone has no disk drive.  If it's not working anyway, this may be worth a try.  Good luck!
