[SOLVED] Endless boot loop

Tdrey · 05-04-2008, 02:42 PM

My zune is stuck in a "boot" loop -- it will not come on completely --
it starts up -- shows the status bar and the zune logo - cuts off at the end then does it again. How do I stop this - I have no music to live by and it's
driving me nuts!!!! Help

try doing a hard reset

back + center + left. or try letting the battery run all the way down

i did a reset.

even if the battery runs all the way down, when you charge it up it does the same thing.

neither solutions worked for the long term.

i tried resetting the harddrive, reinstalling the firmware...but that only lasts for a couple hours before it reverts back to the endless loops.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
