I made this video for those brave Zen Vision:M owners out there who want to try and repair their own Zen Vision:M MP3 players. Common problems are: cracked LCD screen, bad hard drive, harddisk failure, bad headphone jack, and touch pad not responding.
Good luck! If you have any questions please post a comment.

AnyThingButiPod.com is a website that offers news, reviews and discussion forums for all MP3 players except iPods. About a year ago or so, AnyThingButiPod.com was sold to a new owner. Almost instantly, the new owner and the mods at ABI became hostile and extremely unfriendly to a long-standing member of ABI who wrote helpful “do-it-yourself repairs” articles for the site’s forum.
Before the site transfer, Erwin (the previous owner), allowed this member to have a link in their signature to their personal website, which offers repair services and do-it-yourself repair articles for MP3 players. Recently, I, the long-standing member spoken of above, tried to login to www.AnyThingButiPod.com, and was greeted with this highly professional message from the owner and mods:
“You are incredibly rude. I don’t know how many times i as well as my mods have asked you not to spam the site. All links to your site have been banned from this site. FUCK OFF! Date the ban will be lifted: Never”
Links to my site www.TheGadgetDr.com directed readers to instructional do-it-yourself repair articles and benefited members, but they were taken off the site. ABI members have been disappointed. But now they can just come directly to my blog for do-it-yourself-repair articles and take-apart video tutorials.
