Broken USB port in Creative Zen Xtra

Hi, I have been using creative Zen xtra 40 gb mp3 player for last two years and quite happy with it. Recently accidentally (did not know when) the usb port jack in it got broken. It looks ok from out side except some hanging units inside. I didn't open the player. I'm still able to charge my player and is still playing well. I'm not able to transfer any more music as I couldn't connect the player to PC. Can you offer any advice on this. Does simple soldering solve this problem ? thanks in advance, seenu

go to http://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx
Driver Number three helped me (rightclick on properties, the open compatibility and click on compatibility to XP SP3) then run the driver.
This solved my problem. I then installed CreativeMediaSource and I was able to access my player through this programme, although it hasn't shown up in 'my computer', well, happy to have access after vista...

Creative Nomad Jukebox zen xtra says Firmware problem

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

It would appear that the fix requires a Windows machine. Solution then would be two fold:

download the firmware update/fix even meant for Windows;
install and run Windows inside your Mac.

The last could be achieved by:

Boot Camp; or
VMware Fusion (even the trial/evaluation copy).

Of course the easiest is to use a Windows based computer of a friend.

Your Creative Zen Nomad Xtra mp3 player uses a memory system similar to a flash/thumb drive much like the hard disk of any computer. Just as a computer on certain instances freezes/hangs, the same would happen to your MP3. Like again the computer, the OS would need to be re-installed. In your MP3 the OS is the firmware which has to be reloaded/updated.

Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.
