Should I fork out for repairs or just buy a new mp3?

Last week my Zen Sleek was stood on by a horse (work-related accident) and as a result the screen was cracked but the player still worked. However, a few days later the player stopped responding altogether and now when I turn it on all that comes up is the first welcome screen and nothing else. Looking at some solutions on your site I take it that the hardrive is broken as well as the screen. I was just wondering if it would be worth handing in the player for repairs or should I just go out and buy a new mp3. For this kind of repairs would cost of labour work out the same as buying a new mp3? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Personaly i do not think that it is worth it getting it repaired, what i would do is buy a cheap one for work so that if anything happens to it it wont matter(water,gets trodden on etc), and buy a desent one for the rest of the time

My creative software for Zen Sleek Photo won't load on Vista

Vista by default will support the Zen Sleek Photo as an MTP device, which means that Windows Media Player will recognize it as well as Explorer.

You can use WMP to sync music to it, and Explorer to drag/drop photos to it.

Zen frozen on one screen even after I've restarted it.

try to do a cleanup

Detach the Zen player from your PC , and ensure that the Zen Sleek is turned off.

2. Connect the power supply to the player.
3. Hold down the Play/Pause button while inserting a paper clip into the Reset hole
underneath your player, beside the data/power connector. Keep on holding the
Play/Pause button while you release the Reset button. The Rescue Mode screen will
then appear.
4. After the recovery mode has started, release the Play/Pause button

It will display the following options.
Clean Up Scans the player and removes invalid links from its music library.
Does not affect music files themselves.
Format (All) Caution! Erases all content!
Save a copy of your player's content before formatting.
Reload OS/ Firmware Caution! Erases your player's firmware.
DO NOT select the Reload Firmware option unless you have access to a PC and you have downloaded the necessary firmware to install.
Reboot Reboots the device.

Creative Labs Zen Sleek backlight went out

I think there are brightness controls in the settings, I'm not too sure lol as my player isn't in the room with me. If there are brightness settings, make sure they're turned up and your backlight is not set to OFF. If the problem persists after this, you can get in touch with Creative an I think they offer a repair service if the product is not under guarantee anymore, but if it is under guarantee, enjoy a new player courtesy of the guys down at Creative. I hope this helps^^

Zen sleek frozen after trying to delete songs

Why does technology make you work for what you already paid good money for? Have you tried going into Recovery Mode? You do this by holding down the Play/Pause button while triggering the Reset button. Once there, you have four options. Try selecting Disk Cleanup and then Reboot. You might need to re-Sync a few things but it's worth a shot. Good luck.
