I don't know if you guys remember, but my Zune 8 died awhile back (reason why I got a Zune HD now), and today, I decided to take it out and take it apart to see if I can fix it. However, I didn't feel like taking it apart, and just plugged it in, after a few minutes, it came alive (the back screen works too). I guess I just needed to let the battery fully die out, and then charge it.
