Whats up with my Zune?

Question

My uncle bought me a used (i think) zune online, i've had it for a yr and a half. i stopped using it for about a month and now whenever i fully recharge it for 4 hours, the entire charge is gone in like an hour, so i have to recharge it again. my dad thinks i have to replace the battery. any ideas as to what it might really be?

Answer 1

It's most likely the battery. If you can plug it into the charger/computer and use it for more than an hour the battery is going bad. If it has a Li-ion battery, which odds are, it does, after time, 1-2 years it will start going bad and you'll need to replace it. You should be able to get it replaced for under $50, which sure beats $300 for a new one.
