Design/Manufacturing Defect?
The unit shut itself off automatically while I was at the beach. The unit was in a beach bag. Thought it failed but after I got home it worked. Battery was fully charged so I knew it wasn't that. Few days later left the unit in the console of my car. When I came out after work and tried to turn it on. It wouldn't. After I got home it worked. The only common factor temperature but in neither case was the unit in the sun. The unit was warm to the touch but not hot. On another occasion the same thing happened when I left it in the car. On a whim I turned on the air conditioning and held the unit near the vent for less than a minute. It worked again! Obviously there is a very temperature sensitive component.
Returned the first unit for another one thinking there was a manufacturing defect. The second unit does the same thing. Doesn't always work at the beach; doesn't always work in the car. What good is it? Previously had a Zen V Plus. Never had a problem at the beach or in the car.
I really like the unit its controls and features but they're of no advantage if the unit doesn't function. There must be a design or component problem. It's return time again and buy the refurb Zen V Plus 4GB available here. More detail ...
