r/Zune

Still great 20 years later.

I need help where I can get display for zune

It has lived almost its entire life with me working on trucks in a dirt driveway, then into a metal fab garage. Now in a sawdust covered wood garage. Still going strong and working as amazing as day 1.

I got this off eBay today and was not expecting it to be the real deal in unopened packaging from 2007. I thought this was some aftermarket knock-off, which I would’ve been fine with.

Pretty much what the title of this post says, I upgraded the battery and SSD today and when I tried turning it on there was no power whatsoever and when I plug it in it turns on and then gets to the connect zune to pc part then restarts

Is this a faulty new battery? Do I need to get a new one.

Hey everyone! I'm one of those who wanted a Zune back in the day, but couldn't afford one at the time. Well, I stopped by a resale shop after class, and found these two for under $10 together! The dock seems to work perfectly, and the player power on and functions, but the battery is dead, and there's an M&M-sized black spot on the screen. I'm torn on whether or not to try to fix the player (it's a 4GB), or just dig around on eBay to find a functional one with more storage, but either way, I think I'm finally going to step into this world!

So I’ve recently discovered some of my old tech like this Zune and an old iPod and both have been sitting untouched since shortly after they came out.

This one is Zune is a 30gb gen 2 I think. I was honestly a bit shocked to see them turn right on and work so well.

I’m trying to backup all of the files to my laptop before I tinker with it too much but I keep getting “Error Copying File or Folder”. Is the drive corrupted or something?

The songs play perfectly and it doesn’t seem to have any issues. Do I need to do something to unlock the files and folders?

Had this Zune for a little while now... been wanting to get it repaired have talked to folks about it before but haven't had the cash to spare. Decided to Crack this bad boy open just out of curiosity to see how bad it looked inside. Correct me if I'm wrong but this battery thats dead looks brand freaking new.

Anyways... I'm gonna end up sending it to a guy here and getting a Screen, SSD, and battery. Just thought I'd share this with y'all.

As some of you may know, the electronic band Boards of Canada is set to release its first new album since 2013, called Inferno, due out on May 29th. There's been a lot of excitement for this, and the promotional work for this release has been stunning. So I decided to take the Zune Tunesday concept a bit farther here. I've been wanting some new wallpaper images for my Zune for a while, so I took the initiative here with images taken from Inferno's campaign. Some of these are grabs from the video for "Prophecy at 1420 MHz," one's taken from their website, one is a photo of some promotional posters in London. In two cases, I just reversed the colors on two images from the video, since they were a bit bright on my Zune.

Posted here, you'll find my Zune Tunesday pic of me listening to "Prophecy at 1420 MHz", and then see my Zune with one of my new wallpaper images. Then, you'll find the 9 (nine!) wallpapers I created, formatted to perfectly fit the Zune UI. Enjoy!

I have a Zune 80gb with its original earphones and cord in working condition. Battery seems decent and I can play music for an hour wanting 130. SOLD

I also have an htc phone that has the Zune software on it. I have upgraded the sd card to 128 gb and it’s working perfectly. You can even easily get into the back to swap out the battery wanting 50.

Shipping 10 dollars flat rate including PayPal fees. Have sold a lot of items on Reddit.

I just bought this for Q200 (a bit over $25). It was sold for spare parts since they didn't have the cable to test if it actually works. It is working, but it's locked. Is there a way to factory reset it?

Missed this mp3 player dearly. No clue what happened to my original I pre ordered back in the day so I'm chasing the past. Found this on eBay for $26 cuz it wouldn't power on. Battery was swollen. Hopefully a quick solder job with a new one and all will be well.

Stoked to rejoin the community and dabble in making some mods.

Zune HD a bit scratched but still holding up pretty well.

So, slight update to my earlier post where I ordered an untested 120GB player from eBay. It got here today, and physically, it's in (to me) surprisingly good shape for being used. The glass is pretty clean, and the buttons all click nicely, and the body has wear that I'd consider typical for something like this. However, I dropped it in my dock, and the dock lit up, but the unit doesn't seem to power on. Again, can't say I'm super surprised, they were sold as "untested, you get what you get."

Which leads me to my first question: will these even power on with a dead/deep discharge battery? If so, then it looks like I have a parts donor. If not, are there any other troubleshooting tips I should try before I consider ordering a different one? I appreciate any advise, thanks!

Mother sent me a lot of old things and my 2 old Zunes were in there.

Zune 30 in white. Does have a bit of burn in on the screen but all works fine

Zune 80 black. Will turn on but give the error code 5 and drive clicks. Will need a new drive. Screen is in great condition.

I also have a Zune case, car remote/charger and regular usb sync cable.

Not really interested in splitting up. Looking for 100 plus buyer pays shipping fees. Will ship out of Lansing MI.

Updated to reflect location.

In case anyone has been curious about testing these with bench supplies. I wanted to make sure the device actually worked and that it was in fact just a dead battery. 4V with a 500mA OC limit let me know everything was functioning fine. And surprisingly absolutely no media on this device 🤔.

I ran a 10k resistor between the thermistor pin and ground. Not sure if it's needed, but didn't want to find out later annoyingly 😆.

I just replace the battery on it and plugged it in. It turns on now but the battery icon is red.
