I put my JB3 for sale in the "Yard Sale" section of this site. They cant/wont repair the broken LCD issue because the unit is out of warranty !?! recommended that I buy the newer model instead. The CR is spoke to mentioned possibility of a repair, but just got an e-mail saying "no repair as out of warranty timeframe". Seems like they are hanging us out to dry. This unit is barely 15 months old!!!
Here is my sale post :
I bought if off e-bay in May and worked perfectly until last weekend, when the LCD went dead for no apparent reason. At start up, the backlight flashes for a quick moment, then nothing. The unit itself works perfectly, it plays, it is recognized both input and output by my computer, etc etc, just no LCD display. Creative states that anything out of the warranty period is “not to be repaired” unquote!!!! Perhaps as they no longer make this model ? This is perfect for one who feels confident in repairing the unit themselves, or perhaps just wants the portable hard drive.
I just ordered a new one as replacement. I will take the best offer for the following package :
JB3, 20G HD
AC Adaptor
Installation disc, 2 connecting cords (USB, ieee 1394)
The box the unit came in
Cassette adaptor for the car
Two internal batteries
Sturdy, round carrying case
Buyer pays shipping
