Question

Answer 1

For purposes of discussion, I'll assume that the new battery is correctly installed.

If you are starting the charge process, but shutting down soon after, you might try what has worked for me with charging problems.

Connect the Zune, and then shut down your pc. When you reboot, the Zune should maintain the connection.

My Zune acts buggy when the battery has been completely drained, and I follow this convention to get it to take a charge. If I plug it in while the pc is on, it charges for about 15 seconds and shuts down. This is the only way I've found to get it to take a charge.

The issue could be similar with a new, unconditioned battery. You might also try a wall charger - I have one but haven't tried it when I completely deplete my Zune - I found this method first.
