I just got a Zune a couple of weeks ago and I think it's dead already. Nothing happened, it never fell or anything, it just won't turn on. It's not like the battery's dead because I was using it yesterday and when I turned it off, the battery was about half full.

I did try plugging it in to my computer and no matter what USB port I plugged it into, the computer doesn't recognize it and the Zune doesn't react at all.

I bought it from Circuit City and didn't buy any seperate extended warranties or anything. But it's been less than 30 days since I bought it. So I should be able to just take it in and get it replaced for free at the store, right? If so, can I just get my money back or will I have to get it replaced? Because I'm getting tired of MS so I think I'd rather just get an Ipod instead.

What's a Zune?

But seriously - I would take it back to Circuit City (those still exist?). Worst comes to worst, give Microsoft a call.

never happened to my zune.

just call MS up.

My pc does have a problem of not reading zune's though, it happened out of nowhere.

I'd rather get it replaced at the store since I still have the box, the receipt, and everything else it came with than having to go through the trouble of sending it in to Microsoft and waiting a month or so to finally get it back.

[Tobias Fünke]

then go to circuit city, they probably give you a month to return it.

i would try to keep the head phones.

just give them the box and zune, maybe they wont ask for them.

Zune are actually kinda cool, they have a few stuff that the iPod doesn't. Mind you, am not going to get one but their still leet.

IPOD FTW, buddy!!!!

[Smart Alex]

is it on hold

if not take it back to where you bought it, or take to a electronics repair
But zunes overall have more value than an iPOD, for all you iPOD lovers.

[Imadogg]

Yea just take it back since it hasn't been too long.

Weird problem though. I have the original 30GB Zune, from forever ago (before the 2nd gens came out) and it's still perfect.

take it to circut city and they will tell u what the problem is and depending on that they will tell u what u shud do with ur zune

Get an iPod. :lol:

Why?

I've had nothing but iPods and they've given me trouble. I've been careful with them, and they end up having problems. My friend has a Zune and he's:

1) Dropped it
2) Smashed it
3) Cut it
4) Burnt it
5) Drowned it
6) Shot it
7) [expletive]ed it

and it still works.

the ipod is way better

my brother still has his first ipod which is the first ipod that came out and i still use it with no problems

[Nirvana]

I had my iPod video since it first came out... I never had one single problem.

You are unbelievably lucky.

The only thing stopping me from converting to a Zune is the fact that I can't convert my songs that I bought from iTunes.

If I were you... I would never leave that friend alone with my sister...

[Tobias Fünke]

It has a lot to do with luck.

you better hope MS or apple manufactured you're Zune/ipod right.

Nah I was joking man.

He's a really cool guy.

I just took it to Circuit City and they didn't check it out or even ask what the problem was. I just told them it stopped working and they gave me a new one :lol:

[Tobias Fünke]

you keep the headphones?
