#Creative zen micro firmware reload update

To all Zen V users, please note that there’s a fireware update from 1.05.02 to 1.11.01. It just shut off and could not be turned on until I reset it.

All I need to do now is learn how to handle it with care and concern to prevent it from dying like my Creative MuVo Micro N200. Overall, it’s a excellent lightweight MP3 player that I have not regret purchasing. I guess that should conclude the Zen V has longer than 15 hours playback time.

It’s been playing for 5 hours and the battery has only gone down to 3/4. Battery life is rated 15 hours but reviews reported 20 hours. Transfer speed is good for me although it’s considered slow for a USB 2.0. Other than time and date, there’s also a Alarm feature that I have not tried yet. However, it doesn’t really help unless you often sync it with a computer. There’s an Organiser tool that can remind you of events, tasks and to-dos. Multi-tasking is available, you can view picture slideshows while listening to your favourite music. Pictures are clear, crisp and can be set as wallpaper. By the way, my Sony earphones cost me only $18. I would give my Sony a 100 and Creative a 0. I tried both my Sony MDR-E828 and the packaged earphone from Creative. Sound-wise, I would recommend users to get better earphones because the Zen V is definitely capable of better sound. I experienced difficulty viewing when the OLED screen is under direct sunlight. The casing is sturdy enough for minor drops because I accidentally dropped the player while removing the fingerprints. The glossy black casing is a fingerprint magnet. The 5-way joystick isn’t giving me any trouble despite my big thumb and browsing around isn’t a chore. The User Interface is easily understandable. I named mine “Waffle!” at first, but subsequently remembered “V for Vendetta” and renamed it “Vendetta!”. Shorter but fatter than the iPod nano however my Samsung X300 is still fattest among the three. The whole player is small in size, smaller than my palm. It’s been quite an experience using the Zen V. I tried unistalling and reinstalling the drivers.It’s been a day since I got my hands on the Creative Zen V.

I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2 w/ all updates+drivers. If you read the first post you would see it clearly says '2.11.02' as the firmware version. Socalledchaos, even if you charge it, it won't turn on? If this doesn't work, then you need to go into recovery mode on your player and reformat the drive. If you have windows xp sp2 with the MTP firmware on it then try uninstalling and reinstalling thew drivers. If you are using an older operating system (windows 2000) then you will have to find a computer with XP sp1 or2 and switch the firmware version to the 1.11.01 firmware (non-mtp firmware). Likewise, if the firmware version on your micro starts with a 2, then you can only use it with Windows XP sp1 or2. If the firmware version starts with a 1 then you can using it on any service pack of windows xp or windows 2000. I still highly recommend it, and sometimes prefer it over my zen vision:m.Īnyways, Tem, are what firmware version is your micro using, and what operating system are you using on your computer. SoCalledchaos, you're joking, right? The zen micro is one of the most durable, ergonomic players out there.
