Let’s see if we can cure this little guy’s troubles. I see you have formatted the device already.
The best thing to do is first soft reset the device by holding the power button depressed for about 30 seconds, then release. Plug in the Zip to the USB port.
Download and unzip or decompress the firmware file from here. Follow the manuall installation instructions in the thread.
There’s one difference here: don’t worry about the USB mode part, as you can install the firmware in either MSC or MTP mode. If you are connected in MTP. you will see no drive letter assigned to the device, double click on the device, then select Internal Memory.
In either case, drag and drop the clipza.bin file to the root directory of the device, then unplug. The firmware will install automatically upon disconnect. I have a feeling that the original firmware may be corrupted on your Zip.
Let us know how it goes, or post any questions you may have. I’ll be back in a little bit…
