My Zen Micro can't seem top get a good connection with my headphones. It keeps shorting out on one side. I can move the plug in to get the channel but the connection goes bad if I move. I know it isn't a headphone problem. Help.
Lots of people have the same problem, though noone really knows why. Many are convinced that Creative simply screwed up. None of the firmware updates I've tried fixed it, so the problem is probably hardware-related. Another common problem is that the headphone jack glitches. It's simply too weak. Though Creative has not officially commented this, it appears newer versions don't have the headphone jack problem (at least not as often). Anyhoo, be careful with the connector.
If you still can, I would recommend you to return your Zen Micro and get something else. Otherwise, you can fix the freezing (every time it appears, and it WILL happen again) like this:
1. Shut the player down (if you can). Remove the battery.
2. Hold the power button and reinsert the battery. Keep holding the power button until the player is started up. You should now be on the recovery screen.
3. Run a Disk cleanup. This will delete all your settings, but your songs and playlists will be intact. I don't know about other stuff like calendar entries.
4. After the cleanup is done, choose reboot.
The player will now reboot. After the reboot, your Zen Micro will display "Rebuilding library". After this is done, you should be able to use your player again. Just be ready to do this every few days. It mostly seems to happen when it's been off for a while and the battery power is low.
i hope this will be helpfull to you .

Mine does the same thing. I thought I would repair or replace the adapter that the jack fits into, but I don't know how to open it.
my creative zen seems to "short out" everytime i move the headphones. When I hold them down, then the sound comes out clear, but it has to be in the perfect spot
I have the same problem.
How do I open it to solder the headphone jack?
