Question about Creative Labs Zen Micro MP3 Player

1 Answer

Earphone Connection There appears to be some movement with the earphone connection jack when connected to the mp3 player which is causing sound distortion and failure of the stereo sound. This happens more frequently when moving around or when any slight tension is placed upon the earphones cable.

If you feel comfortable taking apart micr electronics then you can take off the case ans disassemble the chassis and see if its just the solder connections on the pcb. but be carefull sometimes they use flex pc boards and too much heat will burn up the board and then your dead in the water. Also it could be that the solder trace could have broken off the pcb. if this happens your gonna need to solder on a piece of small solid copper wire like phone cable (cat three type 26 guage)and run the other end to another solder connectionon the same trace. Them what I do is epoxie the connections and the jack so that its secure. Good Luck

No sound for earphone, there are no rca jacks, the earphone is used to attach speakers, but there is no sound from the earphone jack
if their is a sound from the internal speaker then the problem is with in only in the earphone jack or in the connection. to access the internal part of the tv you need to remove the rear cover. locate the earphone jack terminal re soldered and check the connection at the board ( PCB). you can check also the continuity, attached powered pc speaker then use an analog tester and check weather their is a connection coming from the stereo input jack going to the terminal of the earphone jack of the tv. if no connection replace with new earphone jack. good luck hope this can helped.

I have intermittent sound, in one ear only, tried changing headphones, it seems to be a connection problem. When I wiggle the earphone jack the sound goes in and out.
The jack is broken in your MP3 player. It's usually held together with cheap plastic. If you can bring it back for a replacement.

The earphone jack connection produces sound in only one ear. Partially with drawing the jack produces sound in both ears. Clearly, the jack is not making a good connection once inside its 'port'.
Hi,
This is usually the result of faulty earphones. Try replacing the earphones you are using with the ipod and it should work normally.
Good Luck!

My Philips GoGear Raga 2GB is not working properly. Its earfone jack socket is causing some problems, it doesnt give proper sound now!
The fault could be the earphone, check the earphone in a different device/player, if the fault still appears the the earphone is faulty, probably a broken wire in the cord.
If the earphone is OK then the earphone socket in the MP3 player is faulty. If may be too expensive to repair, unless you can DIY.

When I plug the earphone jack into my MP4 player, I only get sound from one earpiece. I have tried several earphone sets to determine that it is not a problem with the earphones
Hi, this is a very common problem, after you have pulled the ear phones in and out a few times the solder on the earphone socket becomes brittle and breaks making you lose the connection with the circuit board, now as you have ruled out it being an earphone fault then the only possible problem could be the solder.

now sometimes if you wiggle the earphone at the part that goes into the mp3 you can sometimes get the sound working again, but this dont always work so dont rely on this,

now the problem you have is that the cost of getting this part fixed would cost a lot more than buying a new mp4 player.

the cheapest place to try and get this fixed is a tv repair shop, tell them exactly what the problem is so they dont have to test it and see how much they will charge you to resolder the earphone socket back in place properly.

that would be the cheapest option and could possibly get it working again if they will do the work for you

im sorry their is no easy fix but without getting the earphone socket re-soldered it will just never work

let me know if you need further assistance ok

My earphones won't work
Usually this is a problem with the wires in the earphones themselves actually being broken or the connection on the earplugs is too small. I suggest borrowing another pair of earphones to make sure the problem actually is in the Zen. If another pair works, you know the issue is the earphones. If the problem remains even with different earphones, take a look in the earphone jack hole to make sure nothing is stuck in it like paper or something. If everything is clean, the earphone jack or its soldered connections inside the Zen may be cracked and will require the unit to be opened and serviced.

Music not coming from both earplugs.
Buy another- seriously. You can view this video if you want to try to replace the headphone jack, but you will probably cause more damage in the process:

Shure in-ear phone
I plugged the earphones in another mp3 player and they worked fine. So the interruption of sound must be in the connection between the Mp3 and earphone plug. So the earphone wiring gets a verdict of not guilty. I will do some experiments involving the female plug on the original mp3 player. That is where the problem is.
