Chrome Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Anyone else have this problem? It froze up just after charging. I cant reset it or anything. the low battery sign is the only thing that comes on. any ideas before it meets its new friend the wall?

Disclaimer Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 They found the bug. It's a leap year bug:Source code of the offending bug: http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/12/31/zune-bug-explained-in-detail/Leap year functionWell, I’ve got the code here and it’s very simple, really; if you’vetaken an introductory programming class, you’ll see the error rightaway.year = ORIGINYEAR; /* = 1980 */while (days > 365){ if (IsLeapYear(year)) { if (days > 366) { days -= 366; year += 1; } } else { days -= 365; year += 1; }}You can see the details here, but the important bit is that today, the day count is 366. As you can see, the leap year is accounted for, but int “days” is too big for the main while loop to endthe “if (days > 366)” has no else condition. So the thing just keepsrunning and running… until 24 hours have passed and int day receives anew value. At least, I think that’s what happens (it’s been a whilesince CS101).

jermattak Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) hey chrome, its pretty easy to fix, you have to take the battery out, pop the black plastic piece out around the port with a precision screwdriver, take the two screws out, pry the cover off with a guitar pick or screwdriver, follow the battery cable, lift up on the brown clip to disconnect the battery, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in. Reassemble it, and your good to go!edit: never mind i guess microsoft fixed it for everyone, it took me forever to figure out how to get inside of that thing...bastards Edited January 3, 2009 by jermattak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
