Creative Labs ZEN V Plus MP3 Player Logo

Help changing settings 'blind' with dark screen.

I have a very specific request. My Zen V's screen is broken and completely dark. I'll get it repaired if I can, but at the moment my immediate problem is that I want to change it from shuffle to standard play, and can't do it blind.

When I turn it on it goes straight to Random Play All and plays my music. Could anybody tell me the right buttons to press (in the right order, and the right number of times) to change it to standard play?

A slightly odd request, I know, but I'd be very grateful for help

    I'd rather use the forums here than email, if that's all the same to you. Apart from anything else, it means the solution will remain available to anybody else who comes by with the same problem. :)

    My Zen is a 2 GB Zen V Creative, exactly like the one in the images on this forum. When turned on, it immediately starts playing the whole library in random order. That's as much as I can tell you, not being able to see anything on the screen.

Dark mp3 screen

Check backlight settings in player settings. If everything looks good, it is a hardware issue that cannot be resolved without replacing the entire player.

Display fried

If it's a dark teardrop, then the LCD is broken. If it's just blank, then you may need to reseat your screen, which will require you to completely disassemble your unit and will void your warranty.

Dark screen for my creative zen?

The previous poster is right; I do repairs on these all the time, and the most common problem is a cracked screen. The crack is on the back so you can't see it. The screen will need to be replaced.
