Zune 30gb fix/solution if it won’t start/boot up (not frozen)

This is how I fixed my 30gb Zune (1st generation). It’s not a frozen Zune like other people have experienced. It’ll just restart over and over and it won’t boot up. So replace the battery. I bought a replacement battery on ebay for $8. Hope this helps someone.

Edit: Before buying the new battery, I first tried unplugging the original battery for 1 minute and then plugging it back in, in the hope that it would reset the zune, but that didn’t work for me. These 1st generation zunes are so old that they need new batteries after many years of recharging and discharging after regular daily use. It seems that if the battery goes bad, then it won’t allow the zune to boot up.
