SOURCE: Annoying Problem with my creative zen v

"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."

Q. How to reset Zen v +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22T_gkkZjmM&feature=related


try downloading the
MP3 player recovery tool from Creative's website (the tool contains the latest firmware update available -- 1.15.03). Plug your ZV+ into your PC, run the program and let it update the firmware. Then format, reload your music and try it.

By the way, before updating the firmware, let the battery have a full charge, ok?

I hope it won't keep freezing on you after the update.

Use the reset button by pushing in with a needle. This is on the bottom of the unit.

SOURCE: Creative Zen doesn't respond to the buttons or music selector

Most Creative zen mp3 players have a slide power on/off button, when slided completely back it sets the mp3 player on key block, maybe it's on key block.

SOURCE: how to break volume restriction

Boot the ZVM into Recovery Mode and select Cleanup from the menu. This will reset any user defined settings, including the passwords.
To boot the player into Recovery Mode, do the following:

  1. Insert a paperclip, earring stud, or other slender, unbreakable item into the reset hole located at the bottom of the player to press the reset button inside. You should feel a "click" when you've pressed the button. Press and hold the reset button.
  2. While holding the reset button, slide the power switch toward the power icon and hold it there. Let go of the reset button.
  3. When the Zen bootscreen appears, release the power switch.

How to off restrict volume

Hi Cherry - that's not too hard.

Restricting volume (password protected) is done through Creative Media Lite software.
How to use Creative Media Lite

After protecting the Volume Restriction settings with a password, the same password is required for subsequent changes.

If you forget your password, reinstall your ZEN Neeon 2 firmware. You can download it from Creative Worldwide Support ZEN Neeon 2

How to reset code for powering off restrict volume on my creative zen neeon 2

Here is a quicker solution if you have already chosen Europe?

Well, thanks to my investigations I have found there is a solution. Pressing reset will not work and installing new f/w is a pain.

Instead, open your S9 system folder, and simply delete the "PARAM" file. Power off. Power up. (There is no need to change firmware at all).

You are back at the original screen. 1. Choose your language. 2. Next DO NOT CHOOSE THE EUROPE setting. 3. Third, choose your radio setting - any will do.

Zen wont turn on or charge

Creative Zen
Try another PC or another USB port
Make sure the hold/lock is not engaged
Reset
Check for firmware update on Creative's website
Get Recovery Tool from Creative
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
If all else fails, check with this guy:
