Hi I'm not sure if this will help you or not but I suspect that mine was froze on me a couple of times when I couldn't hear anything or get it to respond..smiles...so I held down the left/back button and bottom/down area on the zune swirl pad for a few second and my screen then went to black. I then lightly pressed the center of the swirl touch pad and the screen came back to life and the sound was back and all was well. I hope that this will help you. I saw a notation on resetting in a cnet review as well but can't recall what their suggestion was. If I come across it again in my lurking around, I will come and post it for you if your question is still open and unresolved. Best Wishes

Sometimes they can get a little buggy, just reset it, hold the center button up and hold back, and it might fix your problem or try a new sync cable. Both have fixed my Zunes for me in the past

I bought the Zune 80 because I made the mistake of listening to the geek at best buy. I had the same problem with no tv or movies. I took it back the next day and exchanged it for the IPOD 80 after a little research.

Ok so if they fix the problem but my Zune won't even get past the load screen without freezing, how will I be able to download the patch they come out with to fix the problem? They way I see it, my zune is now a $200 paper weight.

I wish people would stop blaming Amazon. Amazon is no longer selling the device. Its a MARKETPLACE seller that is using AMAZON To sell the Zune & unfortunately they have hacked up the price since the 80GB models are being discontinued. Dont blame Amazon, its the seller.

To help you all: Moments ago this happened to me. Connect the Zune to your computer. Immediately, hold down the play button and while holding it down lock the Zune. Then continue to hold the play button, then press the center button, and the back button (do not let go) as you onlock the Zune with the other hand. The battery charger icon will appear. Then sign into your Zune account, see if the device appears. If not, wait until the update software comes on and update software to 2.3. Within minutes, mine started to work. Hope this helps you all; and good luck!

I'm getting this info from a google search, so I haven't tried this and couldn't seem to find it in the manual. Somebody suggested the following: "To reset all settings, go into the menu, the SET UP, then SYSTEM. You should see a SET-UP RESET option in there."

Do you know what generation zune you have? Unfortunately my zune broke before I was able to use it. I had a 30gb zune which was a little boxy and not slender

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

I got a Zune for Christmas and have already sent it back. I loved the look, the feel, the bigger screen, and the radio. The only problem I found was the software and it lagged(like a PC). Until a new version of the Zune comes out I would go with something else.

Cool... I struggled with this for a week. Could not find any reset button or hard reset. Turning the switch off for 15 seconds by holding my thump on the lower right corner of the screen. It asked with a message 'Do you want to erase user setup?' I pressed No and then it started working...What is this placing finger on the right bottom corner does, no idea. but it works! Thanks a million.

There is a small hole on the side of the Striiv....put the end of a paperclip in there and push. That will reset the unit.

Have you been able to find any more suggestions on a frozen zune? I have tried your ideas, but it's still frozen. I would appreciate any more info you might have to offer.Thanks!

With lots of electronics, you can try holding the power button to reset it. Good luck.
