How to Open a Creative Zen
If you're interested in fixing or replacing any internal components on your Creative Zen MP3 player, you're going to have to open the device. This isn't as easy as opening an iPod, as there are actually screws that must be removed on a Creative Zen. But even if you know nothing about electronics you'll find that opening your Creative Zen can be completed in only a few minutes. And the best reason to do it yourself is to save money by not paying a technician to do it for you.

Would be nice if you said if the long screws go in the top or the bottom! There are 2 long screws and 2 short screws. Having disassembled my vision M, I am now having trouble putting it back together!
