Yeah, so this happened. My beautiful brown Zune all of the sudden developed what looks like an impact fracture in the screen, even though I know it never sustained any impact. I left it sitting in my car in a hard-shell case one evening for maybe an hour, and when I came back out and powered it on, this is what I saw. The only thing I can think of is that it was kind of cold out (low 40s) and that maybe that had something to do with it. Just doesn't seem right though. It still works, press play and it functions, but the screen is clearly done.
So is there Zune repair out there? I'm sure it's out of any warranty it ever had. Are replacement screens available if I wanted to brave a repair attempt myself?
This makes me sad. And it WOULD happen to me just as the pretty new games are being released in the 3.1 update.
*Sigh*

What in the world!? Something strange is going on! Yesterday my friend left his zune for like 2 hours in his backpack, pulled it out and the bottom of the screen was cracked as well! His was a 120 though, but still, wierd.Â
This happened to my old 30 also. But I sold it to my friend and he broke it falling UP the stairs at a mall!Â
I would call MS and tell them what happened they probably will understand
Check out http://www.rapidrepair.com/shop/zune-1g-30gb-parts.html for a new screen
It is weird. Â I mean, I’m pretty careful with it anyway, AND had it in a hard case, and this just came from out of nowhere.
Thanks for the link, Cruleworld!
I might give them a call steve, I don’t think I’ve ever called MS for anything so I wasn’t sure how helpful/difficult their support staff is. Â
I can give you a great deal on any Zune 30 pars, my brother broke his screen, so I have all of his old parts, and my friend’s Zune 30’s motherboard died, so the screen and hard drive and everything work fine. So if you wan i can sell you the screen really cheap. How does $45 sound? I can even fix it for you, but I wouldn’t trust someone else with fixing my Zune for me if I didn’t know them, so that’s up to you. Email me though, Crazysamzebian@gmail.com, IDK if you remember me from my previous comments, but I’m a trustworthy person and won’t scam you (I’ve been scammed before for doing deals online without paypal or something like that, I bought a PSP for $100 and got nothing…)
