Same here. Zune 30 stopped working at exactly 2am Central Time. Just stuck on the boot screen. Same with my girlfriend's Zune 30 which I just got her for Christmas. They busted at exactly the same time. Her's was docked, mine was just sitting on my desk (yet was still on). Sounds like this is a nation-wide (if not worldwide) thing happening with everyone with a 30g Zune that has 3.1 firmware on it. Someone on the Zune.net forums said that their non-updated Zune 30 was still working.

Tried calling tech support but after wading through the recorded voice, it informed me that their agents aren't available except for during normal business hours.

Can't wait to see what happens in the morning. I wonder if this will make the news? Fark.com at least. The damned iPod people are probably going to laugh their asses off at us. <sigh>

Definitely an epic fail for Microsoft... If this isn't fixed somehow, I'm going to be pissed...

Thats the steps of a normal restart, right? At least we have some sort of acknowledgment from MS, even if it is a help page last revised in October...

If you open it up, it will void the warranty. All you can do when it's open is disconnect the battery. Just let it run out.

Just throwing myself into the whole mess. My battery was at about 10% when I turned it off, went to turn it on about a half hour later and I'm now stuck starting at the Zune logo and a full status bar. Let the battery die, recharged for a bit, tried all the button combos, and still nothing.

It doesn't fix it! I just ran it out and reconnected... it charged until it had enough power to function and hung up on the boot screen again.

The same way we laughed our asses off with the iPhone problems?

And FYI iPhones are pwn, even though Microsoft (was/might not be) the ****!

So what are we calling this event? "Zune crash of 2008?" I see some of you have already started calling it Y2k9, clever devils. Who's going to make the Wikipedia page?

Guys if you open it up, you can fix it. My brother just did it with his. He opened it up,unplugged the battery,plugged it back it,and it worked fine.
