Title: I think my Zen just broke...
Post by: Lotos on August 06, 2008, 11:34:15 PM
Now I have to wait for the battery to die a second time.  The first time, the screen just blanked out to an almost black dark blue.  Now, the light shows that it's on, but it's not showing anything on the screen.  It's even being a pain to show up in My Computer when it's connected.

Nevermind, it seems to be back to normal.  Thank goodness.

How many MP3 players died out on you, NSFCD?

An old blue Sandisc MP3 player
Zen V+
Zen V
iPod Nano

Old Zens, only the white was black.  The only difference between V and V+ is that V+ played videos.

What the hell did you do to it?  My friend had a Zen, and that thing took abuse like a tank.  It finally broke after he slammed it on its corner into the floor.

That sucks. :-\

I've had the same iPod Classic (Fourth Generation), for a while now.

Even though it hasn't died on me, the battery sucks, so I'm hoping to get an iPod Touch.

Um, 2 Sandisk Sansa m240 players crapped out on me.
First one broke after falling 2 feet onto carpet, and jammed the volume button all the way up. Second one had a bad headphone jack. Third one was awesome. <3

First was a crappy iPod nano I had for like 2 years. I just didn't care, I dropped it on concrete, floors, stairs, everything, still worked.

I'm hoping this Zune doesn't break, I paid a lot of money for this thing, and I love it. <3

I've dropped mine off a dresser and out of my hand onto hardwood a few times and it still looks like new <3.

I've only hand the iPod I have now since Christmas.

I don't see what's so bad about it, really. It works fine for me, never had any technical problems, etc. Only thing is is the 4 hour battery life, which makes me go "BLEEEEEEEEEEEEECH" or something along those lines.

My I-pod Nano has been through a lot in the... I think 4 years I've had it (Have they even been out that long?).

Its been... Beaten, scratched, lost, over-heated, frozen solid, dropped, abused, etc.
It was even stolen out of my house, dropped in the middle of the road, and left to sit there.
It even has a huge dent in it where it was dropped. ;-;

But besides the bumps and bruises, it works fine... If only the battery life wasn't poop now.

I'm still on my first. It's a SanDisk Sansa thing, and it's working fine.

4 hours O.o. Turn the brightness and backlight timer down. If you can do that on an iPod.

Backlight timer is 5 seconds, and brightness is 100%, because anything less looks like crap to me ;-;

Turn brightness down, 5 seconds is good. I keep my Zune backlight on 5 seconds low (medium when watching videos). I get about 20 hours.

Sandisk SDMX1 (the "old blue" one you had)
Sandisk Sansa c140

I'm on my third, a Sandisk Sansa e260R right now.  It's good but the firmware is kinda messed up.

My SanDisk Sansa M240, Samsung YP-P2, and an Insignia NS-DV4G. All except the Sansa had broken screens. The Insignia's screen broke in my pocket when I was standing up to change a lightbulb. My current device is a Samsung YP-P2 that I've owned since last Christmas. I would recommend Samsung MP3 players for anyone who has had bad experiences with iPods or avoids iPods like the plague which is what I do. Battery life is 30 hours and I can't tell you how much better that thing sounds compared to the iPod. Did I mention it has a radio? Sorry if this is boasting, I tend to be like this when discussing MP3 player stuff.
