amezriMy two busted Zen Micros arrived in the mail today. One of them is totally toasted. Whoever had it before broken on of the cables inside and then glued the whole rig back together; it doesn't even turn on. The other one sort of turns on, but won't really hold a charge.
I wasn't going to fiddle with the other one tonight, but I couldn't help myself. It was actually pretty easy to get it open and take out the microdrive so I could put in the 4GB AData CF card that also came in today. Putting it back together was pretty snappy too. Except... I have two spring clips leftover and I'm not sure where they went. Uhmm...
It's not any worse off than it was before, so I'm just going to leave it to charge overnight. I already bought a new battery from eBay for $5, and that should be here next week. Hopefully... I can fix it. That'd be pretty neat. I would have spent.. uh... $30 for a Zen Micro? We'll see. I still need to get the thing to power up and then install the firmware.
For now.. it's time for bed.
