PLEASE HELP!!!!!Zune stuck on "Connect Zune to your PC"

I tried the button combo, it's currently stuck on "Connect Zune to your PC" but it is currently plugged in to my PC. I have had trouble with this thing for days, before the widespread crash and I'm beginning to think this thing is just your garden variety piece of crap. I loved my Zune until the battery wouldn't charge. Maybe my Zune trouble is not the same. It refuses to charge, it only charges long enough to tell me my battery is low and then it dies again, even if it's plugged up. And now even when I tried this, it just sits there telling me "Connect Zune to you PC", and I have. It won't sync, wired or wireless. Again, I love my Zune, but if it's dead it's no good to me.

Mine wouldn't at first, so I kept disconnecting it and reconnecting it on both ends (comp and Zune). Took about 4 times and it finally connected. Your Zune had a rough, confusing day, give it some love and it'll be fine.

I've disconnected, reconnected, unplugged, replugged, it just doesn't work. My Zune apparently has given up. It doesn't recognize my computer or my computer doesn't recognize it, or something. A connection seems to be lacking. I normally just give up if something stops working, but I love my zune, I want it to work, I want my Zune back!!!!!

It still won't work. I guess mine died because of something else. I'm really upset, I love this thing. I even let my nice and nephew watch movies on it. It kept my nephew entertained on a long car trip just a couple weeks ago.
