Zune 30 gig Brown Overheating

Im having this problem with my zune, where when i plug in the power cord to anything i start smelling burned plastic, and when i look at my zune, it flashes from charging to not charging. When i went and unplugged it, it felt very hot, so since then i havnt tryed to plug it into my usb ports again for risk of frying my usb port. I havnt done anything different with the zune, and the cord looks fine. I dont know if this is covered under warranty or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Well?    This sounds like you have the wrong cord.  It is too short and so it gets power every now and then and then after doing this for a wile it gets over heated.  The power going into the Zune is changing so fast that it is causing the plug to burn-up inside itself!
I wound try to call about a warranty and then if that doesn't help then get a new cord!!!

Reset 30 gig zune

if your zune locks up it is more than likely a bad music or sound file. the best way to unfreeze your 30 gig zune don't laugh it works by putting your zune in the freezer to clear memory and batery.
step1. put it in the freezer for 1 hr
step 2. remove from freezer and allow to come to room temp
step3. plug in and recharge fully
step 5. reload music on zune

Zune Hanging

It's a glitch with Microsoft. All 30 gig units are affected. It's a leap year and the extra day threw the software. Let it discharge overnight and plug into your computer in the morning to load. Microsoft is supposed to have a fix.

Says all 30 gigs are full, but no songs on Zune

you should try calling a product hotline and hopefully get it fixed but if that doesn't work then your computer probobly has something wrong with it. otherwise, you zune is busted. hope this helps.

30 gig zune (white)

yes, it can be fixed. rapidrepair.com offers replacement screens for 89.99 and will even replace it themselves if you decide to send it in to them. at this point in time, you might be better off buying a new zune 30 (considering i got a brown one for my sister for about 60 off amazon over Christmas) or just saving up for an 80.
