Creative Zen MP3 won't charge with mains adaptor

I've had similar issues with the Zen Microphoto, usually the case is a defective cable. Even though the PC sees the device that does not mean that the cable is connecting properly. Try using a different mini USB 2.0 cable. That fixed all of my issues with my Zen Microphoto's connection and inability to charge.

I had the same problem with my creative micro. Do you still have the CD-ROM that came with the mp3? If so just download the creative software from the disc then restart you computer, you computer should see it after that. It worked for me... I even used the wrong disc, I've had both Micro and Micro Photo mp3s, and i still had the CD-ROM for the microphoto.
How did you get your Microphoto to charge after it crashed? I cant seem to figure this one out. I even have a new battery for it, but it wont turn on at all.

Unplug the device from the system, turn it off entirely, allow for some 10min and power it again before you plug to your netbook. Or you could plug to the netbook first before powering the device if the first idea did not solve the problem.Lastly, turn off or restart your netbook while the device remain plugged in.You may be prompted to insert the installation disc if your Creative Zen Microphoto device is not a "plug and play" depending on which windows platform you are operating.Goodluck!
