Take apart zune to reset (doesn't work)

UPDATE: http://forums.zune.net/412486/ShowPost.aspx

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS PROCEDURE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY OR NOT. IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT IT, DON'T TRY IT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO WARRANTY STICKERS WHICH YOU HAVE TO TEAR THROUGH FOR THIS PROCEDURE, IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE HARD DRIVE HOWEVER, THERE ARE STICKERS WHICH WILL RIP AND GIVE EVIDENCE OF BEING REMOVED.

This shows you how to open yours zune 30gb in order to disconnect the battery and hard drive in hopes to fix the 12-31-08 problem. This solution does not work.

EDIT: The 2nd cable I unplugged was not the hard drive cable, it was the keypad cable. The hard drive cable is under the hard drive. I took it all the way apart but was unable to release the hard drive cable since it is not connected with quick release connectors like the keypad and battery. I doubt that disconnecting the hard drive while the battery is removed will do anything since there is no power source. I looked for a cmos battery that I could remove to reset the date, either I could not find one, or it is too small and under a component which I can't remove.

The reason why it was stuck was because you tried to turn it on when the backing was off. EVERYTHING must be put together before you try to turn it on. That is how the other guy got his back working.

I've tried everything lol.

Like your accent. =)

[bizlur]

what accent? lol.... i hope you don't say what i think you might say.

[Ktayr]

It sounded like you had a accent to me. And no, i was NOT trying to offend you in anyway. I just like the way you talk is all.

[bizlur]

hehe, its ok, none taken. I was just just joking around, I try not to have as much of an accent as a lot of the people around here, but I am sure I still have some. :)
