I bought my husband a 30gb Creative Zen Vision:M for his birthday (at his request!) 2 years ago. It has remained in the box ever since so i decided to take it out and get it going myself (I hate waste!).
Anyway my problem is it won't charge via the supplied usb. I purchased a separate mains charger. I left it plugged in for a few days but still nothing.
I understand that if the battery is completely flat for a long period that it might need to be replaced. I called Creative who confirm this may be the problem but wouldn't be sure until i send it to them. The cost of replacing the battery is €55 which would have to be paid in advance by credit card but if this isn't the problem i'm sure the cost would increase. Obviously it's now outside the warranty period.
My question is has anyone experienced a similar problem and found a less expensive method of repair.
Many Thanks!
