    Hey,
    Dropped my Zen in water yesterday, had it in warm room all night hoping to dry it out.
    Just checked the creative website and they do not cover accident s or damage caused by moisture(I know it was a long shot)
    Has this happened to anyone else, any happy endings?
    Or failing that is there anywhere i can send it to be repaired?

    You can buy stuff in the hardware store for absorbing moisture, a de-humidifier sort of thing for about a fiver. Its like crystals in a plastic box. It might be worth getting one of these and putting it and the player inside a plastic bag and seal it. Make sure the player is above the de-humidifier as moisture may drip from it. Then put the bag somwhere warm, not hot, like an airing cupboard for a few days. If you are lucky it will absorb all the moisture from inside the device.

    Have it in the Hot press at the moment, no change yet but hopefully a few days in there will help it along. So pissed off

    It works, i cant believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It looks like the charge just went out of the batt.
    It jumps from one option to another sometimes but a format and firmware install should sort that out.
    Creative, i love you

    Batt seems to hold for a lot less time. I m going to fully charge and leave it playing tonight to see how long.
    But here s another issue that was causing trouble before this diaster.
    My pc in work can pick it up no problem, in fact thats where i had to reinstall the Firmwarwe but my pc at home(with all th same software installed)
    would not, could there be some service or setting in the OS thats stoppping this?
