1. Ensure that the player is turned off

2. Remove the battery.

3. Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert

the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the rescue

mode appears.

4. After 2-3 seconds the rescue menu will be displayed.

At this point the battery can safely be replaced and maintenance options

performed.

5. Four options will be displayed on the LCD screen:

? Clean Up - (To rearrange your stored data)

? Format All - (To format and remove all data)

? Reload Firmware - (Reloads your player's operating system - Do not

choose this option unless you have downloaded a firmware update from the

Creative website)

? Reboot - (Restarts your Player)

6. Select the Clean Up and then the Reboot option.

Now, please try turning off the player.

You may need to reinstall the firmware on your Zen to get it working properly again. The above link will take you to the creative website and the exact page you need for your software and manual downloads.

when off hold play down. then turn on(while holding play). then theres a recovery menu go to clean up.

OK this seems to easy a fix for you, but try it.
* In the main menu where it lists your options (and where FM Radio would be) press the 'Menu' button on your Microphoto (bottom right button) and there is an option to 'Configure Menu' and in there should be the option to show FM Radio again. Hope that helps you.

I have a similar, but different problem, so ill list below, maybe it will help someone out.

i also replaced the (broken) 8gb microdrive with 8gb compact flash in my Zen Microphoto, which worked flawlessly! BTW i bought the A-Data 'SPEEDY CF 8GB' from newegg.com.

My FM Radio still shows up, but only gets MONO sound on the Right channel, its very frustrating. i took it all apart again and made sure no connections were loose or broken, but everything seems perfect. i believe it to be a firmware issue, i think ill try to roll back the drivers. im using firmware 1.31.01.

its just annoying to have to roll back to Media Player 10 everytime just to install the firmware and have windows properly communicate with the zen... :[

If you go to the menu, and hit system, then hit display settingsand finally hit configure menu it should bring u to a checklist page....if u scroll down to FM Radio, that box should be checked...if not than check the box and bac out bac into the menu screen....FM radio should now b there!

• The player may have to be formatted, which will erase the contents of the player. If you would like to manually update the firmware, please see below.
• Please note that some firmware updates may format the player. Please read the installation notes for the firmware update before downloading it.

The MP3 Player Recovery Tool can be downloaded at www.creative.com/mp3playerrecoverytool.

System > Display Settings > Configure Menu

Scroll down about 2/3 the way down and make sure that FM Radio is checked.

I hope this helps - creative does have a know problem with this
