My ZUNE froze, how do I fix it?

i just read an article that 400,000 Zunes 30g users froze last night at the same precise time (almost sounds like a virus). microsoft is working on the problem. you might want to check their website

My Zune 30 is frozen. What should I do?

Follow these steps:

1. Disconnect your Zune from USB and AC power sources.

2. Because the player is frozen, its battery will drain—this is good. Wait until the battery is empty and the screen goes black. If the battery was fully charged, this might take a couple of hours.

3. Wait until after noon GMT on January 1, 2009 (that's 7 a.m. Eastern or 4 a.m. Pacific time).

4. Connect your Zune to either a USB port on the back or your computer or to AC power using the Zune AC Adapter and let it charge.

Once the battery has sufficient power, the player should start normally. No other action is required—you can go back to using your Zune!

I'm sorry rawbert but I must ask what the bloody heck a zune is? and happy new year to you!!

You can reset it but do NOT Sync it to your PC again until Microsoft releases a fix for the problem. It's happening to everyone. Here is a tutorial to get your Zune working for now though:

that happened to mine what yo do is press and hold the up button keep holding on thaen press and hold the arrow button until the screen dims out than turn it back on
