from my recent experiences, about every one that has follow my directions on resetting their devices has had complete success.
sooo, if all those people with frozunes follow my directions they wouldn't need to have them replaced! and, i dont think MS will replace a device that has been "tampered" with, i.e. opening the case. so really my option is almost the only one, right? unless you havent opened the case and really really dont want to.
i suppose some people have a worn out scratched zune that they havent "Tampered with", and wouldnt mind getting a brand new one in trade
haha
