I have a Zen Creative 4 GB which I recharge by plugging into our computer. The blue light comes on and fades as mentioned it would when recharging. The problem is that is looses its charge after approx a day. What am I doing wrong???

It probably means that your zen doesn't have enough power. You need to recharge it. Try recharging it for few minutes or so and see it it changes anything.

hope this helps.

you can charge it by plugging it to your computer with the USB cable.
If that does not work, the plug on the zen might be damaged.

yeah i know. i love zen too!! let it run dry and try recharge.
worked for me once
good luck

Tried the tiny reset button? I was pissed till I found that and I re-initialized the whole thing. Now everything works great. (Might have to rdownload firmware "ZENMozaic_PCFW_122_1_06_01.exe' from Creative site but worked great for me.)

Back up all and re-install.

I recently charged my friends zen for him and the power was run down, the blue light u see is normal it is just recharging, just wait for about 20-30 minutes for it to charge a little and turn the power on, it will still charge.

Use an usb charger or just go to creative store you can get the charger for your player
Some of the motoralla phones have the chargers identicall to ur players charger
ThankU

I'm no better than a normal dude with this technological stuff, but i'll try to help anyways :) So, if you haven't solved the problem yet i think it could be that it (the Zen, mp3 player) has to recharge FULLY in order to be functional.So that's the 6 hours.It says on the Quickstart paper that the display turns off to conserve power. So i was thinking that could be it. The Zen was/is in recharge mode when you tried to power it on.It only turns on, when you've succesfully charged the WHOLE battery thingy. This is only a thought and should not be trusted 100% :) Ok, i really hope that this helps 'cause nobody had written anything to solve this or similiar problems. Alright, catch ya later!

I had the same problem. Tried recharging from both PC and mains recharger. Tried re-setting and re-charging. All I got was the blue charging light pulsing on and off. The ZEN would not charge. Eventually I tried a Software re-set. (Slide the on/off button to the On position and hold it there whilst hitting the re-set button). I then tried re-charging and everything was fine. (It did take about 10 - 15 mins recharing from the PC before the device did actually respond, but that is normal after it is fully discharged)

Cannot guarantee the above will work every time or for everyone, but it saved me returning it to Creative and an eight week wait.

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."

yes i would take it back whilst it on warranty and not mess with it or you will lose your warranty as it is a internal fault
