See Creative Zen Micro Headphone Jack Fix

I’ve had my zen micro for a little under 2 years and have been plagued by rather annoying headphone jack problems every 6 or 7 months. I say every 6 months because the first time I managed to have Creative repair it free of charge, but the second time Creative wanted $13 to talk to their support line about paying for a repair. I’ve been forced to run holding the connection in place for the past 4 months.

Now, out of principle, I’d rather not pay for hardware that breaks regularly for others and isn’t particularly denied by Creative support folk (the last email correspondence ended with someone recommending that I try twisting and holding the headphone connection in place).

I’m not really an Apple fanatic, so the Sandisk Sansa looks appealing if and when I end up deciding to make another purchase. Anyone have experience with it?

It looks like Costco has it, an added bonus for nothing more than a convienent return policy.
