Yea my 30gb is still dead. 4am here.

Did you let the battery die???

Short of opening the case to unplug the battery you will need to let the battery die out and recharge to force the Zune to reset.

i know right? i was really upset for a while,i just dropped it on the floor a bunch of times to see if it would work then,i sure feel dumb!

luckily tho we know they'll work soon but i wonder why just the 30 gig zunes??

You should feel dumb. WHY on earth would you drop an electronic device (especially one with a HDD in it) on the floor to try to "fix" it.??? Did you learn that in Electronic Repair 101??

This whole incident has finally got me thinking pro-actively - My xbox broke, my xbox 360 got the RRoD, Zune sucks, zune didn't off the shelf even work with my Windows XP Media Center, just to name a few problems, but I've never had problems with Ubuntu, which other than the fact it can't really play top of the line games, seems vastly superior in everyway shape and form.  The long reformat days are gone with that.  How long does XP take?  3-4 hours?  Maybe more?  I reformatted with Ubuntu today, only about 1 hour. 
After this is resolved, I'm giving away my zune to someone who will enjoy it more, I already have a vastly superior ipod touch on it's way here, I already reformatted my computer and put Ubuntu as my main OS, so my brother who has that pos Vista will get my copy of XP Media Center, I quit using hotmail as my main e-mail provider, and I'm gonna get rid of my xbox 360 - Microsoft is dead to me.

BYE BYE ... and comparing a Zune to an iPod Touch is comparing Oranges to Apples (pun intended). Zune has had 2 generations. The Originals (30 GB models) and the newer ones (The Flash 4/8/16 and the 80/120 version) .. iPod has had too many to count (how many time does a iPod need to be redesignd during a generation??? seriously). The iPod also has it's share of problems ... especially in its EARLIER models. I have had SEVERAL iPods in the past and all have just died.

I currently have both a Zune 30gb and an iPod 30gb (My girlfriends). I also own an iPhone. After several problems with the iPod's I bought my Zune. To me there all the same .. I plug in some headphone ... set a playlist to run ... put it in my pocket. It's an MP3 player.

Yea my 30gb is still dead. 4am here.

Im so glad to hear that you are all back up and running! I just arrived home from some NYE festivities here in Seattle and both of my Zune 30's are behaving normally as well.

Thanks to all for being patient during this time. Keep on Zuning... (is that even a word??) :)

PS - If you are still having problems, make sure that you let your Zune fully discharge before recharging it. You may also want to connect it to your PC to recharge it so the clock is completely reset.

Not here in Oregon, still an expensive brick.

YAWN! Go away and enjoy your Ubuntu and your iPod. Why do you litter with your bitter? Just go and have fun with your "superior" products. Jeesh...no one in the MS forum cares that you're an MS hater. Move along please.

Glad I didn't pop my Zune open, that could have been a mess.

I so agree with you. I love the I phone but it can't replace my love for Microsoft products.

We can't do anything but be happy we don't have to buy new ones, or, God forbid, an iPod and have to use the iTunes software to organize our media.

My zune come back!!!!!

So, What happen with Microsoft??..........Are we going to do something??
