My nano won't turn on soetimes

I checked the battery and everything. but when i try to turn on my mp3 playre after i haven't used it for a while it won't do anything. I have to hold down the power buttom for like 10 minutes before it does anything and then when it does turn on the volume doesnt work, and it keeps on shutting off on its own. When i get it to work normally it only stays on for two minutes and then shuts off again and i have to do the same thing over and over again. And it seems fixed but then the next day it does the same thing all over again. Does anybody know how to fix that?

I have the same problem! It had stopped completely and then I found a site, somewhere, that said all Zen nano problems could be fixed through an online link. I tried it and it worked, but it does this 2 minute thing.... I'm going to try 'zapping' it again.

I tried out your suggestion, but now my mp3 player won't even format. it's a zen nano plus. what should i do now? Whenever I tried to format, I get messages like "Operating System reported error: The semaphore timeout period has expired." What's that about? I've never seen that message before.

In my case I have a Zen Nano Plus 1GB. It won't turn back on. I was really sad, but I found a way to restore it. 1) Go to creative and search for the Mass Storage driver, the file name is MStorage_PCDRV_LB_1_07_00_250.exe 2) Install it this software for updating Windows Drivers. 3) Go to creative and search for the software ZENNanoPlus_PCFW_L16_1_14_03.exe 4) Hold down the player's power button while connecting to PC USB port. 5) Run the software for recognizing Zen nano you just downloaded. You shall see a ballon in windows task bar telling that it was found a new hardware. Confirm all Windows installation wizards for this new device! Now you can release the player's power button. 6) When the device is found and recongnized, just format your player! And voil?!

I plugged in my i pod and came back a hour later and the screen was black and was frozen and none of the buttons would work

you will need to reset your ipod this will not delete songs. 1 Toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to HOLD and then back again).
2 Press and hold Menu and the Center button for at least 6 seconds, until the
Apple logo appears.
If iPod nano won’t turn on or respond
â Make sure the Hold switch isn’t set to HOLD.
â The iPod nano battery might need to be recharged. Connect iPod nano to your
computer or to an Apple USB Power Adapter and let the battery recharge. Look for
the lightning bolt icon on the iPod nano screen to verify that iPod nano is receiving
a charge.
To charge the battery, connect iPod nano to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.

Mp3 playr yp-k3 wont turn on after being charged, we only brought it a week ago and has never worked. Weve tryed resettin the player but still wont turn on.

take it back. it is not worth the trouble if you've only bought it for a week.
if it is a lion battery like the creative mp3s, then charge it for at least a day to begin with.

Your iPod's Owners Manual is here. It will tell you how to use all of the features of your iPod.

You can send the unit to Apple to have the battery replaced for about $65 through their Battery Replacement Program.

Or you can replace it yourself by buying a 3rd party battery replacement kit.

I pod nano cant switch off

Sounds weird, try this. Hold down the menu and the select, (top and middle) buttons down at the same time. What this does is resets you iPod. It should reset and turn back on. After that try again to turn it off. If that doesn't work, you may have to back up your information in it and completly reboot your iPod. You can do that on itunes. And if that isn't it what it could be is that you are about due for a new battery. Worn batteries cause mp3 players to act up in a number of ways and not turing off is one of them that I have seen.
