I have a Creative MUVO TX FM 128MB Mp 3 player.
The unit can't be detected on the usb port. I have to hold the unit at a certain angle before the unit is registered in the usb port.
I can't switch it on, and have to press it hard before it can be switch on, when I let go, it goes off, Tried changing batteries and sent to Creative Customer Service, they say that the unit is beyobd repair but the battery housing is working fine.
I think the connection is loose on the unit.
Please help
Techman is right, This small electronic devices are built to break, they rather have you buy a new one then fix the old one.
Sorry man, but tell us if you do succeed.
Good Luck

Re: MUVO TX FM
If they said itds beyound repair then its probably not feasable to replace the defective part that you think is loose. Probably the entire case and or board assy is defective as they make alot of nON- serviceable pcbs and things inside of things now.

This needs you to enter a verification code that is hardly recognisable. Try and hit refresh (below the verification code) a dozen of times till it gives you an easy code and download the drivers(just in case you need the drivers again).
Then run the drivers after you have installed your device. You might need to try this a couple of times. It also gave me all my songs back but I reformatted the drive to be really cautious.
Wish you all the best. Hope it works for you as well.
My MuVO TX was having problems until I installed the latest firmware. The last firmware release was in March 2007. If you haven't updated the player's firmware since then, try downloading it and installing Creative MuVo TX FM Firmware 1.24.02.

Plug unit in and open my computer, if it can read the unit it will show up as a removable disc, usually drive F:, copy and paste or click and drag music files into this drive to load your player.
Good Luck
Hope this helps.
I had the same sudden power-off on a MuVo TX that I have had for 2 years now. I also had problems upgrading it, I got the latest firmware updater tool from here: http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=213&nRegionFK=&nCountryFK=&nLanguageFK=&sOSName=Windows+XP®ion=3&Product_Name=MuVo+TX&Product_ID=9672&modelnumber=&driverlang=1033&OS=10&drivertype=0&x=31&y=7 ...but the first attempt to upgrade left me with a dead player. Grrr.
However, I managed to recover it..
I rebooted my laptop.. and used 7zip to unpack the creative upgrade tool to a folder. I then plugged in the MuVo (while holding the power button? can't remember) and got the windoze New Hardware wizard. Selected 'Manual install' then selected 'from a disk/folder', browsed to where I had unpacked the driver, hit next and allowed the wizard plenty of time to work it all out. That seemed to get the player detected as an empty disk device again.
Then I was able to run the installer (double clicked on the downloaded .exe) and select a full upgrade, and that worked. (when I was doing this, the tool claimed my player had firmware version 0.00 installed on it !?! weird.).
So it may be possible to recover even a seemingly dead player.
I have not verified that the power-off issue is fully resolved, I only did this 10 minutes ago and it´s an intermittent problem. But so far, it seems to work.
Hope this gives some clues. Best of luck, EasyTarget.
Once you have done that, try installing the latest firmware.
The last firmware release was in March 2007. If you haven't updated
the player's firmware since then, try downloading and installing Creative MuVo TX FM Firmware 1.24.02.
Of course, you'll have to get it to talk to your computer before you can update the firmware.

You can certainly try to send the units to creative labs But I'll bet you 10 to 1 that they will say that its not going to be worth repairing. The main reason is that these sound both like major repairs where they are gonna need like a button and case assy and the other one that was dropped has a broken or two pcb assy or other broken connections. The repair dept figures on these smaller players that if the repair cant be done by software means meaning not taking apart a unit and replaceing parts the manufacturer sees this unit as a throwaway. Sorry for the bad news. Now a more expensive type unit with a built in hard drive they will open and repair some of the problems as these cost more . Good Luck
