That whole week my Zune decided to just give up on life

I was three songs into a road trip to visit my sister in Portland when my old Zune 30 just froze on a pixelated album cover. Tried the hold button trick and the battery pull like 5 times but it's completely bricked now. Has anyone found a way to resurrect these things or am I just stuck with a fancy paperweight?

Have you tried hooking it up to a computer and seeing if the PC can still detect it at all? I fixed a Zune 30 last year that did the exact same thing, it just needed a hard reset through the recovery menu. Hold the back button and the up button at the same time for 10 seconds, then plug it into a wall charger and let it sit for an hour. If the screen stays black, it could be the hard drive cable came loose inside, that happened to mine after a bumpy drive.
