You can fix it but it's very fragile inside the hard drive is broken internally i would send to rapid repair and have the upgrade done. The software you need after the fix is hard to come buy because it has to go through a Microsoft sever that doesn't exist anymore. There is a fix for that on utube. You will have to trick the software on your computer to be the server. Hope that helps.

if it says "contact support" restoring it will not work anymore. listen to the zune's hard drive. if it spins but makes a repeittive noise, the HDD is broken. if it doesn't spin at all either the hard drive of the motherboard may be broken. on the 80gb zune it's usually the logic board or the hard drive cable that causes this. there is a zune repair tutorial online gives you an idea on how to do the replacement yourself. parts are on ebay.
