r/Zune

Remodeling my house so every nook and cranny was gone through. Found an old shoe box in my closet and to my surprise my old Zunes were in it. It’s been almost 2 decades since I seen this! Text on the back was rubbed off a bit from the plastic case it was in.
Seems like I wiped the OG content but from the little I’ve read it can be put back on. I plugged it in and sadly it won’t connect to the Zune software since it asks for a firmware update. Thought about updating it but I’d really rather not. I am not sure if I will use it anyway so decided to leave it as is.
I remember the day I went to Best Buy and got this. My mom and sister also purchased theirs about a week after I got mine. I held onto theirs as well so I got 3 Zunes. My Halo 3 edition and 2 pink ones.

There is a error I cannot troubleshoot

Error is C000D11CD 80072F7D

I have Zune 30

What should I do

ITS LITERALLY LOADED WITH LATE .00 AND EARLY .10 MUSIC. WE EATING GOOD TODAY.

Hey Zune community, found my zune that I bought new back when it was released. Looks almost complete in box just missing the headphones. I have kept it all these years and just don’t think I’ll actually ever use it. Does it have any value?

32 GB Model 1402 on the left, 16 GB Model 1395 on the right.

Rockin' the summer!

I'm in Guatemala, already tried Facebook marketplace for parts or for one with a working screen to use por parts. Any suggestions on where to get the replacement screen?

OG works perfectly well and Ive synced with Xune easily. I tore down the HD with a guide found here on the sub and I have to say, thank you all for your commitment to documentation. That is no small feat and I commend you all!

Anyways I ensured the soldering was good (visually) cleaned the connecting pins with some alcohol, and no change for Greeny. so, any ideas, suggestions or clarifying questions are more than welcome and thank you so much

Let's see if they come back to life...

Update... Yellow one does show sign of life but battery seems dead. I've changed that battery once already 😑

Others, and white 30G original zune not in photo, came back to life after a few hours of charging 🐱

Who else is listening to the leaked Eros album on the Zune?!

I had this old metal hinged case lying around (I think maybe it's from a wallet or belt?) and I made it into a protective travel case for my Zune. I used some protective padding from a recent purchase and it works great! i can also swap in other padding to hold my other MP3 players.

Hello! I've been wanting to repair my dad's old 80 GB zune for a while, and finally took initiative this past week, purchasing the Amazon battery, tools, ect, and following "Make.fix.upgrade" YouTube tutorial. Keep in mind, I have zero experience with electronics.

After assembling everything my zune won't turn on after several hours plugged in. I've tried swapping the blue and white wires and that didn't help either. I'm not sure if I did a bad job at soldering the wires (image attached) or whether I received a bad battery. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Found my old HTC HD7 phone, after a 7$ battery and a bit of fooling around with a virtual win7 and downloading zune from zuneupdate on my desktop, it’s ready to be my wander the neighborhood player. Been playing great. Fun finding a few titles I forgot about. I might mess with the expandable storage down the road.

Three oldest out of six.

Thought those are hard to find nowadays.

Anyway, here is the link where I bought it
