Creative zen mp3 player's screen suddenly went black with lines.

Usually I use it to record or listen to music, I record 2 hr long lectures, and today without warning while it was recording, the screen went blank. I cant read anything on it, and its black with vertical lines. I've reset it 3 times, and re-downloaded firm ware. Pls help, I need a solution before my next class!

    for me it was gradual. first lines started appearing on the screen and then one day the screen just went blank. i still use it to listen to music. but its extremely difficult to navigate without a screen.

Most likely the video chip inside has gone bad. Best bet would be to contact Creative via their support number. I wish you the best of luck.
