How to Reset Fix Zune if your zune frozen locked up or stuck on loading screen

31St December 2009 arrived and Zune 30's all over the world has suddenly stopped working. There are numerous guides to fix your zune or reset your zune but none of them working. When my zune went down I went crazy and searched all over the internet for the ultimate solution. DUH, just look at yahoo answers, people are crazy with zune problems. Not a single solution seem to worked for zune at the moment.

So i finally decided to put my brain to work and finally SOLVED the problem with Zune. Yes, atleast its a workable solution till microsoft does something about it. I dont expect them to release any patch till 2nd or 3rd Jan. Its new year 2009 and am sure their software engineers are too busy drinking and partying. So the only solution is to resolve this problem ourselves.

So whats the solution? how to reset zune?

To do this,
1) use a small screwdriver to pop off the plastic shielding where the zune cable plugs into and remove the two screws on either side of the plug. Start by removing the bottom dock port spacer with your razor or flathead. Make sure to insert on one of the long ends and not in the middle of the dock. This should pop off fairly easy.

2) Next pop the cover off and locate the battery plug at the top left corner of the zune, using your screw driver, pop the cable connection half way off, and do this to the other plug on the right side. Wait 3 seconds, then push down the right connector and then the left battery connecter. Your zune should start up immediately. Press the backing of the zune down (make sure headphone jack is aligned) and put the screws and cover back in place.

3) Now the catch, Connect your Zune to your PC and then reset its clock to like 27th December 2009. This whole is popping up becuase of 31st Decemeber 2008. Seems more like a Y2K9 bug in Zune. Once you reset the date to anything older than today's date, your zune will start to work fine. Microsoft hopefully will release the patch till that time your zune will work if you follow this guide.

It's an easy process but if you're unsure don't attempt it if you think you'll screw it or something. :)"
