Unhappy Screen Problem: Software or Hardware?
So I admit, I haven't been quite is caring or gentle with my zune as I should. It's already gotten thrown on the ground, and I've jumped on it a couple times while it was in my pocket. I often forget to take it out of my pocket when I get rowdy. It got particularly beaten about yesterday, and I just began to notice a problem today.

So here's the problem. Occasionally - not every time - after I turn off the screen and leave the player on for a little while, when I go to turn the screen on again, it takes almost half a minute, and lots of pressings of the three buttons. The strange thing is, though the screen isn't lit, I can still interact with it (skip tracks, increase volume, etc.).

However, I also downloaded the firmware update a few days ago, so might this be a consequence of that? Has anyone else had problems with the screen since the update?

Thanks, Matthias

Sorry for the long post.

I'm leaning towards hardware problem, and don't be sorry for the long post. You gave us awesome info to work off of.

I have the exact same problem with my ZuneHD. It pissed me off today because I was trying to show someone how much more awesome the ZuneHD is than the Touch. I haven't abused my player though.

I have experienced this problem both on 4.1 and the new 4.3 update. It is kind of frustrating when it happens. I hope it is a software issue more than anything. Microsoft hardware is known to have problems, not zune specifically, but Xbox360, and I also received a defective AV dock from them once, had to exchange it.

im starting to think that the screen on these things are EXTREMELY fragile. like even just a slight drop or hard shaking might be enough to partially unseat one of the connectors. i hope its software tho :/
