I have the same problem with my Zune 1126 (80 gig). I took it apart and replaced the battery with a new one as the old one was all corroded, but I still had the faded battery symbol with a lightening bolt through it. I then changed the zif cable with a new one and the same problem still exists. I tried 2 different charging cables along with different usb chargers just to make sure it wasn't a bad cable or charger. Also, I have a 120 gig that I put a new battery in as that one had a corroded battery as well and I get the same faded battery symbol with the lightening bolt.
All I can surmise is that the battery corrosion has caused a malfunction of the microchip or other electronic components so I will just take them to Best Buy Geek squad for an estimate on repair. According the search for "Zune repair near me" apparently the Geek Squad at Best Buy still repairs them.
I'm going to go talk to a tech there and see if they can fix it for under $150, otherwise it's just better to buy one off of Ebay that is already repaired and working with a new battery in it.

And guess what we got into the Zune and the battery looked fine and it was actually the hard drive that was broken say. Bye bye to your precious songs zune

@thecat847 your Zune needs a new battery. The Zune1126 is a second gen Zune 80, whereas the 120GB version is the 1376. Both should come apart the same way. Since iFixit does not yet have a specific guide, use something like this video or the instructions from here as your guide. Batteries are still widely available.
While you work on your Zune, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has a device with the same issues as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.
