Dear John,
Thanks for supporting Creative Customer Support
With regards to the issue you are having,
The problem you described indicates your unit may require repair or
replacement.
An RMA will need to be arranged to have your product tested for
repair/replacement.
If the product has exceeded its three month labor warranty period, a US
$24.95 diagnostics and handling fee will be required. The fee is
applied toward the complete cost of repair/replacement. If the cost of
the repair/replacement exceeds the initial diagnostic fee, the RMA
department will contact you to obtain your authorization for finance of
the remaining fee. If the product is still within the 1 year hardware
warranty, as long as there is no physical damage, all hardware component
replacement costs will be covered by the hardware warranty. If the
product is not outside its thee month labor warranty, no diagnostic fee
is required.
Please note that the contents of the hard drive will have to be erased
due to the testing process. Please back up all files from the drive, if
possible, before shipping in for an RMA.
