I'll try to make a long story short.
A couple months ago my Zune 120GB bit the dust when I accidentally plugged in a POWERED 3.5mm jack from a USB powered set of speakers into the headphone jack on the Zune...just died...wouldn't turn on, reset, charge or anything...believe me, I did everything I could think of and I'm a knowledgeable geek through and through. Charged it overnight on PC and wall adaptor, tried hard reset...I mean EVERYTHING you could possibly do. DAYS of trouble shooting...doing this and that...Googling here and over there...nothing worked, obviously, because my Zune was deader than Elvis.
So today I'm siting at my computer and think "Meh, what the Hell...trying one more time wouldn't hurt!"...plugged it in via front case USB port (same one as when it first died) and got nothing...not even the dim charging indicator that shows when you try to turn it on after the battery has been completely drained. Start playing Halo 2 (yes it's old but I've still yet to beat it after beating all the others out :-p) and 30 minutes later I hear that familiar "BLEE-BLOOP" of a device being plugged in and recognized...LO AND BEHOLD MY ZUNE TURNED ON AND IS FULLY FUNCTIONING! WHAT. THE. FUCK!!!
I own the first even self healing media player.
Any thoughts on how a at one time DEFINITELY DEAD PMP magically starts working? Been using it all day with no problems.
Seriously guys, what the hell?
