The day the ZUNE stood still
MAKE Magazine —
Wow, this is crazy - a few folks emailed us and said all the 30GB ZUNEs in the world all stopped working at the same time (today) it seems that there might be some type of date bug with them (Z2K9)? Some folks are reporting that taking their ZUNE apart and unplugging the battery and re-plugging it in works, but it's a bit unclear what's going on.
ZUNE meltdown.
ZUNE frozen.
Z30s frozen.

All Zune 30s crapping out?
CrunchGear —
... Real early this morning, a bunch of Zune 30s just stopped working. No official word from Redmond on this one yet but we might have a gadget Y2K going on here. Fan boards and support forums all have the same mantra saying that at 2:00 AM this morning, the Zune 30s reset on their own and doesn’t fully reboot. We’re sure Microsoft will get flooded with angry Zune owners as soon as the phone lines open up for the last time in 2008. More as we get it.
