This is one of the worst ways to have to spend $300. A few months ago I had plugged my creative zen stone into my pc to charge it. only to have my pc shutdown. I then proceded to unplug the mp3 player and attempt to turn it back on. the fans began to spin then it shut right off. so i tried plugging the mp3 into another computer of mine, and wouldn't you know it, it had the decency to alert me of a surge coming from it. so i figured the mp3 had fried my mobo(asus m2n-sli deluxe). so i ordered a new mobo(gigabyte p35-ds3l) and a cpu(E4500). A few weeks ago i ordered the 4gb creative zen. it used to the exact same usb cable as my last zen, which i still have. so i naturally grabbed the first usb cable in sight to charge it. only to have it not respond. so i quickly unplug it. i look for the other usb cable and plug it in with that, only to have it work fine. i plug my old mp3 player in and it works fine.
so i spent about $300 because of a busted usb cable. of which $100 was not even neccessary as my old mp3 still works.
