Title: fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff (Zune related)
Post by: Psilocybin on January 01, 2009, 03:03:42 AM
Basically, yesterday I left my zune to charge, because I hadn't charged it in a few days and it was dead.
Last night I turn it on... and it's stuck on the loading screen, at 100%.
Same thing happened to my brother's and thousands of other people.

It was supposed to fix itself when the clock ticked over to the 1st of Jan., but mine's still bricked. FFFFFFFF-

It's related to the internal clock flipping it's poop at a leap year.

Also, why the hell am I pink?! D:

Yeah, discussion of this in the chat thread. Still hilarious. If it doesn't resolve itself in a day, I'd send it in to get fixed. You suckers and your 30 G Zunes.

Oh, and rank change over. With mods getting yellow/orange, we gave Knights of the Spam Flavored Table a lovely meat color.

More ammo for apple lovers.
And if it doesn't fix itself, I'll end up taking it apart and fixing it myself, being as I have no warranty (it's from 2006..).

For those curious about fixing it, you have to open it and disconnect the battery. Note that people say it only works once, and if you plug it in before 7AM EST today it'll be bricked again.

does mack wanna be nice and change the color? :B

Ouch. No warranty is harsh. But yeah, it should resolve itself.

And mack only has limited acp; news and banning. I could try the latter if you like :B

I wonder if they'd do it like with the 360.. Quite a few of those went out after warranty, and were fixed.

And um..
That wouldn't be nice D:
how many posts till the next rank? :X

Considering the error is caused by their idiocy, I'd hope they would do so. They'd lose a lot of business otherwise, even though this will cost them.

And k. About 4000.

At least you didn't get a brand new one for Christmas just to have it stolen from you.

Ah, poor Zune. Can't handle a leap year.

Oh, and Microsoft always puts the good parts that don't break down into 360s, so I'm good.

My zune's fine now (my brother's is not, however.)

And a friend gave me a copy of TF2, so I'm okay in that regard.
