It will work for 2 minutes while on charger but if I move it, it will shut down. Battery says dead or low, if unplugged doesn't work at all. Is there anyway to fix this?

Microsoft Zune 30 GB: Can I salvage Zune 30gb data with Error 5?

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 09:52:52 -0700

Hey everyone,

I found my old 30gb Zune in the bottom of a bin in my garage and the bugger actually boots still!

Unfortunately I get an Error 5 screen when it tries to boot. I know that it is recommended to factory reset to get it working again, but that wipes the hard drive.

Is there any way to extract the data before wiping the drive? Would have been nice to see this time capsule from my high school days.

Thanks in advance for the help!
