lol. I was just looking at this on ABi just now....

Strangest thing I've seen that happened to an Mp3 player, as of yet.

Hi All:

Just a quick note to let you know that we are aware of the Zune30 freeze issue. I don't have an update on the source of the problem or any fixes, but please be assured that our team was woken up this morning and hot-footed into the office to get right on this. We're working on it, and when news comes to hand, I'll pass it along.

Cheers, Dave.

I won 2, 30GB Zune (Watermelon Red; Special Edition) from Microsoft's Live Search Club.

They both work wonderfully. I even installed the new firmware updates and if anything, they're better than they were.


I spoke too soon. I didn't realize it happened TODAY.

CONGRATS MICROSUCK! you 2K FAIL 9 YEARS LATE!

STEVE JOBS will be wetting himself over this one BILLY BOY!

Its confirmed btw due to the date fault users who have disconnected the battery to reset the date prove it boots fine but soon as you connect to PC and it re syncs the time/date it crashes again!

its only the 30gb Failing apparently!


edit there's word that ALL ZUNES ARE FAILING!

Update 2:11 p.m. PST: Microsoft issued another statement, saying its technical team has isolated the issue: a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year. The company says the issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009.

"We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT)," Microsoft said. "By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully, then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on. If you're a Zune Pass subscriber, you may need to sync your device with your PC to refresh the rights to the subscription content you have downloaded to your device."

My cousin in just e-mailed me and said that his Zune is bricked. Being the "geek" of the family, he asked for help. I couldn't give him any

EDIT: time to reply with the news Joe posted.

Seriously, Microsoft didn't consider that?

Ok, this sounds like some super weird shit.
All the 30GB Zunes just suddenly stop working? Do you know how fucking scary that is?

If this could happen; couldn't all of our cars, computers, and such stop working all at one time?

Maybe I'm reacting but seriously, this is some super weird shit.

wow how did they figure that one out duh!?

as above discovered by joe bloggs average user flat battery resets clock hence enables restart resync with pc at right time ie not in leap year it will sync and work fine!

GENIUS EH? no its logical doh anyone could of figured that out ... oh wait they did just not the part about trying resyncing too soon!!!


oh well big sigh of relief for ZUNE users until the next leap year comes again eh!?

You should have offered him $10 for it, and told him to post it today

some of the 80GB zunes are also experiencing the problem
but not all, a small %
might have been some of the first 80GB made
