yea, i have the original 30GB Zune... i think it's almost been about a year now.
i was just listening to it before i took a nap... and i guess i woke up to silence. looked at my Zune, and now it won't even turn on. tried pressing all the directions that you guys mentioned... nothing. =/
i'm assuming warranty is beyond due so it seems like my Zune's done for. hopefully it'll come back alive some time.

Same thing here. 30G brown Zune. Got it for Christmas 2007 here it is freezing up for the first time 1 year and 6 days after I started using it. Too bad really, because I loved this thing and really promoted it. Can't get the reset to work. Probably better of to go back to the $50 Walmart specials. If they don't work after a while, cheap to replace. ITunes sux.Same thing here. 30G brown Zune.

Not sure as to what is going on here but my wife and I both have matching 30 gig zunes and this A.M. we both got the zune screen like it was loading but now it's stuck and the reset won't work either. Â I think someone at microsoft put a virus in ver. 3.0 so Happy New year us all of us. Â

This morning my Zune stoppedworking too. It is stuck on the start up screen (Zune logo, the word "zune" and a white bar across the bottom. The zune was connected and the zune software was open. The "hard reset" does not work. My lock is off and regardless of how long I hold the buttons, they don't reset. My zune's batttery ran down so I plugged it in to charge and it still stopped at the same screen.
Do I have any options before I call Microsoft? I have no warrenty.

None of these things worked until i did this, I locked my zun, pressed and held the buttons, and did <= and up, then i unlocked it, and pressed <= and up at same time and it worked
I have one of the original (bigger) 30GB Zunes. I have had this for about nine months and it has always worked without a problem. This morning I plugged it into my car aux. speaker jack as I have done for the last six months and the screen was frozen for several seconds. It then went blank and nothing. I tried the back button while pushing the up, nothing. Then I tried the back button with the down button, nothing. When it froze it still had about 25% battery left, but I plugged it into the mains charger anyway, nothing. I then used the lock and unlock, nothing.
Then I left it in lock for about ten minutes. When I unlocked it, it came back on. All my music still stored and it is working perfectly again. My guess would be that this is a software glitch. Today's loss of productivity was brought to you by Microsoft! ;)
Plug your zune into a computer, then press all the buttons at once for ab 10 seconds or so. The main screen should come up..... I have problem with my zune freezing all the time, but i wouldnt trade it for an IPEEZY!
Bals12345678 is actually correct. I was shocked as hell when I first tried it. I just bought a brand new 120GB Zune, only a week old. It froze today and I tried everything. I charged it all day, tried to reset it, nothing worked. I gave it a good whack against my palm while pressing the play button over and over and well.. it actually worked. Hilarious, but extremely helpful ^-^!
If you keep your Zune plugged into the computer or where ever you charge it, it will over charge and that will kill your battery. you can still plug it into the USB but you can not use it when it is off it happended to my zune
Ok so when my zune first wouldnt turn on i tried to fix it with checking the lock button pressing up and play,and i also thought that it could have had water in it so i put it in a bag of rice nothing worked it was two days later when it turned on so when it happend again i tried to figure out what the problem was when i realized that it was super hot and then i thought that it was over heated and i was right the zune was over heated because i kept it in my pocket all day i kinda felt like an idiot so just let it cool down and in a day or so try to charge it
Hey i have the perfect solution my zune froze and turned off and it wouldn't turn back on soo i put in the freezer over night then took it out and when i plugged it into the computer it turned on and now its back to normal you should try it
Ok, This may sound weird but here it goes. I had accidentally dropped my zune on concrete and it actually cracked opened and i just snaped it shut. afterwards i couldnt turn it on, but when i plug it in the computer it turned on but i couldn't navigate the main menu. when i unplugged it i still couldnt turn it on. it took me a while to realize that it might have been the buttons that werent functioning right so i slamed it on my carpetted floor a couple of times figuring i had nothing to lose, lo and behold the buttons worked . yay i have my zune again!!
I had this problem when switching between albums and the fix is suprisingly easy. Hold the back (<=) button and up on the d-pad at the same time and it will reset your zune. If this doesn't work you probably have a more serious problem but this is a simple force-start.
It happened to me also. I put it away for several days to let the battery discharge completely. I then plugged it back into my computer and it started right up! It's still working great and it's been at least a month ago.
The same thing happened to me. i plugged it into my computer for about 3-4 hours took it off, didnt do anything then i held down diffrent buttens fro about 10 seconds each and i would do 2 or 3 at a time still nothing worked so i plugged it back into the computer and it booted up right away!
Well I did what BEST SOLUTION said. You have to hold the center button, back, and play/pause button for ten seconds. The zune should reboot then and start and work perfectly fine.!
Try pressing the up and left button at the same time while it's plugged in that will do a hard reset. If that doesnt work you need a new motherboard. Your motherboard can be replaced without problems. There are third party Zune repair services, that will fix it for cheap. Even better, I found an DYI Zune repair guide,
soyoucan do it yourself too, not that difficult. Part is availableon
Ebay. If you can't do it yourself, have a tech savy friend do itfor
you.
I have a 8gb black zune crach cople weeks ago :( i used it almost 24/7. well i was tryn to find a solution for it. found couple n mix'em up lol. 1st measure it has battery by plugn in ur zune, then press all @ same time for a few seconds (like 10) n then will turn on . u may need to updated (like in my case) hopefully this will work for a few cuz every problem may vary!!
Just in case some people don't look around the site, i saw this in another post from the scrolling bulliten on the bottom of the screen. Thank you for finding/posting it, i was ready to go buy a new one >_>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [Update - 2:20pm PST] Hi guys, I just got an update from the team that I want to share with you. Great news! It looks like this issue will resolve itself over the next 24 hours. Please read the response below. Thank you all for your extreme patience with this! -Matt =-=-=-= Early this morning we were alerted by our customers that there was a widespread issue affecting our 2006 model Zune 30GB devices (a large number of which are still actively being used). The technical team jumped on the problem immediately and isolated the issue: a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year. The issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009. We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT). By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on. If you’re a Zune Pass subscriber, you may need to sync your device with your PC to refresh the rights to the subscription content you have downloaded to your device.

We know this has been a big inconvenience to our customers and we are sorry for that, and want to thank them for their patience.
Q: Why is this issue isolated to the Zune 30 device? It is a bug in a driver for a part that is only used in the Zune 30 device.
Q: What fixes or patches are you putting in place to resolve this situation? This situation should remedy itself over the next 24 hours as the time flips to January 1st.
Q: What’s the timeline on a fix? The issue Zune 30GB customers are experiencing today will self resolve as time changes to January 1.
Q: Why did this occur at precisely 12:01 a.m. on December 31, 2008? There is a bug in the internal clock driver causing the 30GB device to improperly handle the last day of a leap year.
Q: What is Zune doing to fix this issue? The issue should resolve itself.
Q: Are you sure that this won’t happen to all 80, 120 or other flash devices? This issue is related to a part that is only used in Zune 30 devices.
Q: How many 30GB Zune devices are affected? How many Zune 30GB devices were sold? All 30GB devices are potentially affected.
on this model there are also issues with the dock connector, lock at the bottom and move the dock connector with the tip of the ballpen. if it is loose ore ther are bent pins, that is your issue. You may need to replace it. there is a zune repair guide if you want to do it yourself or have a tech savy friend help you.

I turned on my Zune and the screen froze so I turned it off but it would not turn back on.
I went online and read somewhere that if the screen freezes then you should press up and back and wait for the zune insignia to come on. Well my zune was not just frozen it would not go on but I tried the up and back thing and it worked. it took about 9-13 seconds but it worked so give it a chance and if that doesn't work try charging it overnight. Hope that helps :D

does anyone have a better idea to fix this?
Same thing here. 30G brown Zune. Got it for Christmas 2007 here it is freezing up for the first time 1 year and 6 days after I started using it. Too bad really, because I loved this thing and really promoted it. Can't get the reset to work. Probably better of to go back to the $50 Walmart specials.

my zune just froze up and nothig I can do to fix! help!n
well that is ridiculously creepy. exact same story as the others and on the 31st as well... 30gb brown zune from about a year ago....
Same Problem here... looks like a software issue, I upgraded to new 3.1 and system crashed hard. This day nobody will fess up if they make a mistake and cause problems. Looks like we all will have to just take it in the ... because nobody will be honest to to do a repair unless.......... we all grab pitchforks and torches and go to there headquarters and ...... Oh well I'm mad but nothing will be done..again. Glad to get that off my chest!!
Same problem here, i have the zune screen but it is frozen. i have tryed to turn it off and to reboot it but it is not working. Just stuck.
Zune freezes on power up and cannot reset device. Happened after update of software.
zune wont turn on
my uncle gave me a zune and it never turns on even if its fully charged!!!
I was listening to my zune in my car, pluged in with the Aux cable, all the sudden it froze playing a song so I used the reset techniqe (back + down) and almost worked. Now I only get the zune black restart screen. Pleas somebody tell us if ther is a solution or not.Â
Not sure as to what is going on here but my wife and I both have matching 30 gig zunes and this A.M. we both got the zune screen like it was loading but now it's stuck and the reset won't work either. Â I think someone at microsoft put a virus in ver. 3.0 so Happy New year us all of us. Â
This morning my Zune stoppedworking too. It is stuck on the start up screen (Zune logo, the word "zune" and a white bar across the bottom. The zune was connected and the zune software was open. The "hard reset" does not work. My lock is off and regardless of how long I hold the buttons, they don't reset. My zune's batttery ran down so I plugged it in to charge and it still stopped at the same screen.
Do I have any options before I call Microsoft? I have no warrenty.

my zune is stuck at the start screen, i have tried everything and it wont work!! HELPP!!!
I was listening in my car at about 12 last night and it froze-it was fully charged (matter of fact it was still plugged in with the battery showing green) and so I took if off the charger and let it drain all night, this morning i plugged it back in and it got stuck at the ZUNE home screen where it is rebooting...it won't do anything but run out of battery then repeat the same issue each time.....this is ridiculous...I am deploying next Friday and I spent SOOOOO much time getting it ready for the deployment so I could have my music and family pictures...this is such a disappoinment....if anyone hears anything...email me...please...

My 30gb is doing the same, idk whats going on i tried to let it run out of battery and restart it and when it reboots it stays on the zune screen with the bar all the way across at the bottom. Some one help, im stuck on a farm with no music!!! lol
I went to the zune support site and on the right had side it says that people with 30g are experiencing problems and i believe they screwed something up http://www.zune.net/en-US/support/defaul...
My zune was out of juice so I pluged it in and got the low battery symbol. After a minute it initiated the start up, the white loading bar went all the way across to the right and now I am stuck on that screen. None of the sudgestions seem to work. I tryed to reset, shutdown, slam it on the carpet, and it still doesn't work. Its an old 30gb. Help...
EVERYONE THE PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION! GO TO http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/zune30... but the thing is we will have to wait for tomorrow so no party music for the new years tonight thanks a lot microsoft for ruining new years!
