Zen stone doesnt seem to be charging- red light on constantly

the battery is dead use a car charger it worked on my creative zen stone plus and ipod touch. the car should charge it

please use a different cable to charge the unit

if it does not help then it is a serious internal fault and you will have to take it back to the creative for further repair.

READ THE INSTUCTION MANUAL YOU IDIOT.

If the lock isn't on then I would check the source that's chargint it, if all that is ok then I would say it's a dead battery

The red light means that your zen stone needs to be charged or that it is fully charged. If it plays music it is fine. If it doesn't turn on and has a red light try charging it.

Just tried this on a zen stone with speaker and worked. Connect your zen stone to your computer. When the green light is on, use a paper clip and press and hold the reset button (small hole on the headphone jack side). The green light should turn off. Wait a bit and it should start blinking to indicate it is now charging. Note: This reset only worked when I had it connected to the computer.

Hope it works for you too.

um i think u just need to drag songs to ur zen drive on ur c drive when u connect it to charge its better then sync the three red lights are just when u turn the volume all the way up and it will till u thats the volume limt no big deal but and if u do have music then it might be ur headphones

my vision m wont charge. and i just tried to click that button and pluged it back in and its still not working :''''''[

go and delete some songs by this your zen memory is free.
and go to adjust power property and select the right power management for ur eqipment.

I have the same problem. I used it like 10 times. I believe the problem is that it has a liIon battery and it does not have protective circuitary on the battery. Do you notice that if you charge it and let it sit, the battery goes dead. Thats becuase there is a constant drain on the battery. LiIon batteries have a nominal voltage and if the voltage drops below that level, they won't charge any more.

Try plugging it in and pressing the on button to see if the blue charge light goes on. Do this over and over again to see if you can trickle charge it up to a level where the full charge will start. If not, its junked because Creative did not make the battery serviceable which is a 2nd mistake.

Personally, I hope never to buy another Creative product.

Good Luck.
