Thread: Seems like my Zune 80 is dead

Started 1 month ago by jfindon
Well, I bought it the day they were released and never used it a ton, but I was using it to work out with (with the M604 speakers). I didn't keep up with charging it as much as I should have, and this last time it fully drained seemed to kill it. Can't get it to turn on, can't get it to charge. I tried the outlet charger and the regular USB charge method to no avail. So, I guess I need a ...

Did you try a reset? My Zune80 seemed to be dead a couple of times after a complete battery drain, but a reset brought it back. At least the reset worked for me. Here are some other ideas. How to Reset Your Zune: 4 steps - wikiHow Zune Insider Why not ZuneHD? iPod Touch 3G sounds pretty good (I had a 2G and SQ was excellent in my opinion) and is the best touchscreen in terms of wifi/...

I'll check those links, I tried what I remembered to be the reset method but maybe I did it wrong. The ZuneHD seems to have too much of an iffy following in the SQ department, I want something that most everyone agrees sounds amazing. I don't really need wifi and all that crap, I don't like browsing on such a tiny screen.

how much did you put it in charge?my zune120 when the battery is fully drained takes about 10 minutes to wake up.

I left it plugged into the AC unit while I worked out, so about an hour. Then I plugged it into my PC for another 20 minutes. Never saw the battery symbol to show it was very low, and it never "woke" up. PC didn't recognize it either, much like the link you posted.

Hmm... I just tried that first link now that I'm home, flicked the hold switch a few times, blew out the connector port with my RocketBlower and plugged it into my PC and I got the battery charging symbol... Looks like it's working now. Thanks for the links I was doing the reset correctly, not sure why it works now unless some chalk got into the port or something.
