How to Reset a Zune Device

If your Zune device is not acting as it should you may need to reset it. A Zune is a portable electronic device that can store and play music, video and other files. Resetting a Zune is something that you can do on your own and only takes a few seconds. When you reset your Zune it will force a restart of the system on the device. It will reboot itself and restore its proper working order when you reset your Zune.

3. Press the “Up” button at the same time. It is located at the top of the Zune pad on the front of the Zune device.
