Creative Zen Micro repairs?

[Stoaty Ferret]

My lovely (but completely oafish) girlfriend has gone and dropped my Creative Zen Micro mp3 player and facked up its hard drive. I'm gutted as I'd spent a great deal of time downloading all my favourite tracks. Does anyone have a clue about how to get them fixed? Its out of warranty and I've been on the Creative website and done all the self help stuff to no avail. Is there anyone local that can fix these things? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Not really sure there is much you can do.

Have you tried re-formatting it ?

Have you tried turning it on??

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

Yeah tried formatting it but to no avail. Just has Creative on the screen and a weird clicking noise. Just thought there might be someone local (ish) that did these sort of repairs....

if the hard drive is knackered then it'll be as cheap to buy a new one

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

Yeah but problems is I lose all of my tracks then. There must be an easy way of backing them up somehow...

 

[Ned]

didn't you download them to your pc first?

Think you have the same problem I had which I now solve by backing my Rio onto the PC.

Looks like you've lost the music I am afraid.

Just bought a new one...
Gutted I'll have to spend an age trying to remeber then download all my tracks...
Hopefully a win today will put a smile back on my face

And don't forget the golden rule - back up your music onto your PC.
