That's where I got mine from Ray. they are cheaper on the www.dvd.co.uk site
or maybe on creative. Mine was the type you can use abroad and was all singing
and dancing for £10
Cheers
Ron

I believe a mains charger for the Zens is sold by VGirgin record stores. Not
exactly cheap, but then accessories often aren't cheap. Mind you, I'd have
thought that manufacturers will be coming up with USB chargers now as surely
that interface's voltage is standard?
Cheers,

Oh Wow! Thanks for this info, I'm off to buy a new one...I can give my 1 gig
to my old mum who says she'd love one, but chances are I'll have it back in a
few weeks time! Do you know Where the best place is to buy a mains charger
from? Many thanks, Christine.

Subject: [access-uk] death of a zen stone
Hi all: my stone died over the weekend, however it did turn to my advantage
in the end so read on.
I nodded off listening to it one evening and couldn't get it to re start
next day. assumed that battery had run down while I was snoozing so gave it a
charge but it still didn't respond. the light was showing that the unit was
live but I could get no sound from it. I tried a reset but nothing, and when I
tried to re format the drive I couldn't. the first time I tried I got a windows
error saying windows could not format the drive, nothing else which isn't very
informative, and thereafter whenever I tried to highlight the drive so that I
could right click it windows explorer crashed. the creative lite software
didn't recognise any attached player and the drive appeared in my computer as
'removable drive' not 'zen stone'.
I eventually faced facts and gave up on it. with a long train journey
ahead of me early this week I instantly hit the web looking where to get the
best price for a replacement and much to my delight found that creative have
produced a 2 gig version of the stone which is currently half price in pc world
and currys. so twice the capacity for the same £30 that I payed for the
original.
take care if purchasing, it's not the 2gb zen stone plus which has a
screen, radio and other function that make it difficult to use, what you're
looking for is the straight stone 2gb. it's identical in every respect other
than a sticker on the outside of the box which says "2 gig".
