1st Gen. 30g Zunes = the failzzzz...

I checked mine this morning.

It did exactly what everyone ALL OVER THE WORLD said there's did.

-Loading screen comes up
-Loading bars reaches full capacity
-Zune freezes. No re-boot ability. No hard-boot ability.

Holy crap......mine did that this morning and heard nothing about it til now. WTF is going on?

So do lots of other players, like my Zen Vision M.

Oh shuddup.

You do know that Apple and Microsoft are the ONLY manufacturers of mp3 players.

Y2K9 glitch?

That's funny. My iPod shuffle and Creative somethingoranother work fine too. Odd.

 

[stosh]

ROFL, if they couldn't think ahead in the Zune's what else did they forget?

That's a little misleading as that guy is obviously a failure on a couple other levels

Touche.

 

[Dirtjumper999]

Being a proud Zune owner.... I for one know it can't be Microsoft's fault. It is clearly the underpants gnomes, as they are all iPod users and would love to bring Zune down since it is clearly superior.

I am sure they will get them fixed or give us new 80gb Zunes Either way, my ears will feel so naked without the ol' Zune rocking them.

 

[Transcend]

WTF is a knome? Some japanese beef?

How many gens are they up to?



Keep reaching for that rainbow Apple, keep reaching for that rainbow....

Better question is do the first four gens. still work or do they collapse when a newer version is made.

The batteries didn't last long enough to find out

Also the quality control on the iPod photo was pretty bad, Toshi got three iPod photos replaced in a row and when the third died they ended up giving him an iPod video. Guess that why you have to pay a premium :huh:

 

[moegocanes]

i guess it will self correct sometime on the 1st of january. some internal clock issue. not too worried tho, my new 120 and 8 gig are fine.

Just shows you how far behind they really are.

 

[sanjuro]

That's a great solution! Like a big zit, just wait and it will go away.

 

[Quo Fan]

And it will re-appear again in four years.

My ipod stopped working the other. When I play music, the song doesn't start and when I play a video, I see a black screen.

 

[Matchew]

I swear ipods are made to break a month after the 2 year warranty period. I've had one where the screen stopped working, another which got really hot and stopped working and another that works for 2 minutes and then completely freezes. All of these were about 3 weeks out of warranty.

Basically I've come to the conclusion that All Electronics Suck





EDIT ===>OK maybe not the shuffle. (perfect size for riding)

 

[PatBranch]

Which ipods were those?

My nano works well...

 

[Dirtjumper999]

YAY!!! My Zune is back!

Some of you are probably wanting a full out reason why this happened... and I know that reason.

Zune suffers from I-am-so-awesome-I-need-a-break-sometimes syndrome. And they just needed a break from all of the awesome things they do.

 

[Matchew]

All 3 were nanos I may try a classic as they seem to be a bit sturdier and have less issues.
