what i did to fix it was drain the battery and wait 5 hours and every hour or so i pressed the pause and play button to make sure it was drained i then connected it to a pc with no zune software and let it charge. the charging icon appeared till it turned off. i un pluged it and turned it on by pressing the middle button and ta da it worked i then let it charge compleatly and now it works again.
yaa the connctors broke off and now the power is going directyl in to the hdd i really dont care bout the divice i just want my music thats on the hdd
People don't panic! The zune has only TEMPORARILY stopped because the internal clock was confused because february had an extra day, something about leap year. Once it hits 12pm tomorrow (happy new years btw!), you must do the following by then:
- Discharge the battery
-At 12pm, charge the zune
-Celebrate your Zune's ressurection!
You might have to resync your Zune, as said by the developers.
Read the latest update on Zunes website. The problem will self correct tomorrow when the internal clock automatically resets. The problem is caused by a bug in the internal clock related to the way the zune handles a leap year. Run your battery out and you may need to resync tomorrow at noon GMT. They will also be updating the firmware so this doesn't happen again on the next leap year.
damnn what da hell is goin on with our zunes mine got frozen too, how is it posible dat too many zunes got froze at da same time??? mine wasnt even connected to any wifi connections................... i
then... grab your flat head and lift up on the battery brown clip slowly lift the flat copper wire that was connect to it . do the same for the hard drive connector. only need to unplug no more than 10 seconds.
then plug everything back slowY~!, and put the cover back and the screws back .
then walaaHHH! your zune should boot up to the norm.
THIS IS A ZUNEWIDE THING! NE ONE WITH THE 30g ZUNE WILL FREEZE...MOCROSOFT STATED THEY ARE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM...LET YOUR ZUNES RUN OUT OF BATTERY AND DO NOT CHARGE THEM UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED
wow. mine happened just last night i turned it on like usual and it wouldn't start. sounds like "firmware error". to get us to send it back for MS$ to install some part in it.

That doesn't actually make sense for the Zune, Apple monopolizes the mp3 player market.

The event was was ridiculous - and exhibits great incompetence on Microsoft's programming division.
But come on - you lost the Zune for ONE day. It wasn't the end of the world.

I have a video showing you how to fix this problem if you are willing to take apart your zune.
Otherwise you will have to wait until the internal clock rolls over to January 1, 2009
