Question about Creative Labs Zen Micro MP3 Player

Won't go past loading screen

Turned on and stays on Creative loading screen and goes no further. Also when turned on it makes a noise as if the player malfunctioned. If there is no solution to this can we have an address to send it to get it fixed. It is still under warranty. Thank you Krystal

I've seen this problem quite a few times on the Creative Labs forum. I had a similar problem with my Zen Jukebox Xtra 60gb. My solution was to replace the hard drive and reload the firmware. Bingo! It works like new. If you feel adventurous do as I did. But if it's still under warranty then let Creative Labs fix it. Oh, by the way I got my hard drive for my Zen Xtra on eBay for $30.00. Also eBayers sell various troubled MP3 players for parts. A lot cheaper than if I had sent it in for repair.

Unfortunately not a solution. I've just had a similar problem - when updating the Creative software to the latest version, the update failed and left the device turned off. All attempts to turn it on have failed. There is very good support information on the Creative website. I've followed all the suggestions, and all require the device to be powered on to succeed - which is the one thing I can't do! After e-mails with Creative the conclusion is there's nothing I can do to solve this problem. If the MX is in warranty they'll probably fix it or replace it. If it's out of warranty you migt get a discount off a new one. Sorry can't help further.

Creative zen wont stay turned on it lights up then goes off.

"If your Zen V is dead, wont respond to anything, try this, plug it in to the computer, hold the power switch in the on position, THEN trigger the reset button, worked like a charm for mine, I had thought it a lost cause."

When I plug in the ac cord, the screen goes to Creative screen,

First thing,make sure your battery is charged.When you power on your player,put it close to your ear.If you can hear the hard drive (a faint clicking noise) then your hard drive may be stuck.When you power on player,tap coner of player on mouse pad while player is booting up.If it doesn't work,try again,tapping a little harder.This is a common problem with these players.Good Luck

My computer wont reecognize my creative zen 2 GB

You don't have enough room on your drive to do this. I had the same problem. I took all my router ports off and connected just my creative vision player only and it worked. Computer system was over loaded.

Have you tried to remove the battery. If not, try this remove battery, see if that works. If removing battery doesn't work you may have to reset your player. First remove battery again, but before you put it back on, slide or hold your power on button, keep holding it down then insert battery. The load-up screen should come on asking to reboot, cleanup , or reload firmware. Just reboot and see what haps

Reset first - located on side of player. If that fails, Creative actually has a step by step tool you can use at:

Zen Vision: m does not load past the Logo screen.

After you turn on the player, put your ear up to the back side of it and keep listening for about 2 minutes. If the hard drive eventually stops spinning or makes a repeated clicking noise over and over in a repeated pattern then the hard drive is bad. It sounds to me like that is the case. You will need to get the hard drive replaced. You should take it to a technician, or you can also do it yourself, but be careful. The parts inside are delicate and easy to damage.
