Recently, though, they’ve gotten into the iPhone app development game. For T2G, it’s Vito Technology, which is probably best known for developing several apps that make a Windows Mobile device behave more like the iPhone. This, like Zenbe Lists, is a Web 2.0/ iPhone tandem where both components were developed by the same outfit. In addition to the many other options out there, I have been playing with a relatively new entry – Task2Gather. So, to load a new firmware, there would have to be a software-side fix that (temporarily) didn’t set the clock on the 30GB Zune to the current date/time. Draining the battery long enough resets the clock, but then as soon as you sync, the software sets the clock to the current time. I think the problem is that the 30GB Zune chokes on the date for some reason. i plug it in the usb and nothing happens. UPDATE (2:30p): Interesting point by Ernie:Įven if there is a download available, i cant even get my zune/computer to talk. “May experience issues”? Has anyone not experienced the issue? Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience! We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it. UPDATE (11:30a): Microsoft’s Zune support site has the following posted:Ĭustomers with 30gb Zune devices may experience issues when booting their Zune hardware. Worked for me, but as soon as I plugged it in to sync it locked back up. Press the backing of the zune down (make sure headphone jack is aligned) and put the screws and cover back in place.” Wait 3 seconds, then push down the right connector and then the left battery connecter. Next pop the cover off and locate the battery plug at the top left corner of the zune, using your screw driver, pop the cable connection half way off, and do this to the other plug on the right side. To do this, use a small screwdriver to pop off the plastic shielding where the zune cable plugs into and remove the two screws on either side of the plug. Here are the details, courtesy of commenter Kevin: I, personally, don’t recommend this as it will void your warranty and could fry your Zune, plus, it appears to lock up again once you sync it with your PC. UPDATE (10:00a): There is a “fix” – you manually disconnect the battery. Pretty clear this is a bug with the first-generation Zunes… Everyone has the same problem – at midnight this morning, everyone’s Zune stopped working. I woke up this morning (Dec 31, 2008) to about 20 new comments in the Hard Reset for the Zune post. When you plug it in again, it will no longer be the last day of a leap year (since it is now ), so the problem will not reproduce itself. To fix it, fully drain the battery, which will break the loop. FINAL UPDATE: This is a self-repairing problem due to an infinite loop in the boot cycle that only occurs on the last day of a leap year.
