Another person with a frozen charging/logo screen, here in San Francisco. Just turned it on to listen to while heading to work and bam - frozen for about 90 minutes now. Maybe it's because it's 12/31/08? Did Microsoft fail to plan for 2009 or something? ZuneY2K?? Pathetic. The screen is really hot and I hope it doesn't break before the battery dies - which seems to take a lot less time normally!

All the 30GB models are dying around the world.  Some firmware issue.  Microsoft is working on it.

On behalf of Microsoft and the Zune team, I would like to apologize for any inconveniences caused by the zune issues today. There was a coding error in the internal clock driver used in the 2006 Zune 30. The internal clock will reset itself at 12 noon GMT or 7am EST. Thus repairing any issues you are experiencing. Once again sorry for any inconveniences.
