  1. Is it normal behavior for the MZ-RH1 to charge the LIP-4WM battery for only 30 minutes instead of 60 minutes via wall adapter method? Or is my battery dying out (LIP-4WM slowly losing its charging capability?) I always thought the standard time for charging via wall adapter was 60 minutes.
  2. Hi Minidisc community! Special shoutout to sfbp(I think that's the correct username) & Avrin! Anyways, I have a brand new RM-MC38EL but after plugging it into my RH1 unit and the remote will only let me listen to music in only one earbud. It's frustrating because if I swiggle the endpiece connector to the left, it'll only spit out sound in only one earbud but the unit works great when I swiggle it to the right. It's been happening for awhile now. I bought this unit from pauseplaystop. I contacted them and did get reimbursed but I really want to fix this unit. It seems like a waste and I always try to repair things on my own. Don't really know why but I hate admitting defeat until I know exactly how big of a problem I have on my hands. That aside, anybody care to lend me some advice without telling me to return it or buy a new one? Thanks beforehand for reading this issue & hope to hear your comments soon!
  3. Thanks for the kind gesture, Soundbox. Actually, it would be awesome if you could do that but considering I live in the U.S., I don't find that feasible. However, if it's not too much of an inconvenience...do you think you could give me directions on making my own power supply that could kick-start batteries like the LIP-4WM? If it's too complicated, I don't want you to explain and waste your time. But if it's easy to accomplish, I'm all for it:). I read elsewhere on this forum regarding the three different design logos used for the Sony LIP-4WM (telephone number, "lithium ion" label, and the recycling picture with lithium ion logo). Are they truly all legitimate types of batteries?
  4. All right. I tried to use the method prescribed earlier here and works to no avail. KInd of disappointed about it too. Do you guys possibly have any other ideas where the issue might be? Sorry it took so long for me to reply back. Did not have chance to get around to fiddling with my RH1. So, is there another way that we could possibly re-energize these batteries without the use of another portable MD-player or hot-wiring? (unless I used the wrong types of wires which could be the culprit). Thanks.
  5. Nope, I turned off quick mode a long time ago since I purchased my RH1 unit. I'm trying out the jumpstart method sometime this week so I'll let you know about the results.
  6. What happens when you simply put the battery in and turn on the RH1? (I'm assuming no action)Edit:Actually, the RH1 does start up, and the battery icon is flashing on and off. What happens when you put the battery in and connect up USB (not the charger)? Ordinary USB connection will usually charge the battery for you, too. When the RH1 unit is plugged in via USB, the battery icon does not show up and I'm assuming it's using power from the USB itself and not the battery. If the answer to both of these questions is NADA, then I think Ian has given you good advice. It's just possible that his tip works for the wrong reason, however, you might be DIScharging an OVERcharged battery. Doesn't matter, still follow his suggestion, I think. I reported recently my daughter's cell phone battery mysteriously revived when she spilled liquid on it. I think that was the same sort of thing. I think it has to do with the charging circuits using voltage as a means for deciding when to stop and/or start charging. If the battery barely changes state (eg because you always run some particular device, be it MD or cell, off the charger) these discriminant (is that the right word?) voltages may get a bit out of whack as the battery gets older.
  7. Hi Minidisc Forum. Recently, I purchased a lithium-ion battery from Pause Play Stop. However, when I put the new battery into my RH1 unit, it refuses to charge. Now, I'm pretty sure that it's not a problem on the RH1 side because I'm able to successfully charge two other lithium-ion batteries without any issues. Is it possible that I was sold a defunct battery? Or does anyone here on this forum know how to re-energize these batteries? I wish I owned an NH1 or other minidisc portable that could more properly calibrate these types of batteries and fairly frustrated that the RH1 is so darn sensitive. Any tips, ideas, or whatnot would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, as always.
  8. Hi Minidisc Forum! It would be greatly appreciated if anybody could quite possibly locate legitimate e-commerce or brick-and-mortar stores that has the silver RH-1 for sale. I would rather buy it brand-new even if it is costly rather than from a second-hand source. I tried researching this model everywhere and couldn't find anything. A bonus would be in locating either a brand new or gently used MZ-NH1 around anywhere...Thanks!
  9. It does seem to discharge, and I did take the precaution of letting the battery drain once per month and re-charging it via the wall adapter. However, today I tried charging it via USB and the battery indicator is gone but after I disconnect and see if it's charging or not, it went up a bar. I guess it's not totally not working but still there's something sketchy...I tried re-charging it via the wall adapter and it won't recharge at all now. Again, the spare new battery I got has no problems and is working as is...Is the LIP-4WM battery (original) considered "dead" or is there some other method I should try?
  10. Hi Minidisc Forum. I'm a little worried about my MZ-RH1 because suddenly the battery won't charge while in the USB cord (pc connection) or from the wall adapter anymore. Luckily, I had a spare, new battery and tried that...it worked perfectly. However, due to the inconsistency of the battery charging, is it because of the battery or is there a deeper issue with my RH1? FYI: I used the same original battery that came with my RH1 3-4 years ago. I thought Lithium-ion batteries had a life of about 5-10 years. If anybody could provide insight, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  11. Hey there minidisc buddy. Sorry for the late reply. Don't know when you're going to be reading this but yes, I have solved the problem after tightening the screws on the machine. However, be forewarned: be very gentle with the unit and don't force the screwdriver into the screw if the screw won't budge afterwards. Credit should go to sfbp for this tip. Also, this is not a typical result, or a by-gone-be-all method for solving this issue. I happened to be lucky. To minidisc community: Again, my minidisc portable is functioning amazingly well after using all tips from avrin, sfbp and others. Just wanted to let you guys know that you're the best community and thanks for all the information and opinions. Keep it up!
  12. Hey, thanks a lot for your help. I'm sorry to pester you but I have one more set of reference numbers if you don't mind. The numbers in the service mode are 0210-0216. I promise, this is THE last time that I gather reference numbers. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon!
  13. HI! Sorry, I mis-wrote the following menu item: instead of 2010-2016, what I really meant was what you wrote - 2110-2116. Thanks for your other input by the way.
  14. Hi Minidisc Forum. If you enter the RH1 service mode, click Vol (-) once, you will enter the overall adjustment servo mode I believe. On my RH1, the last two digits read "EF" and was wondering what this meant. Also, if anyone could denote and write a fatory-fresh numbers residing in 2010-2016 (address in service mode) and 9111-9113, it would also be greatly appreciated. I just want to check the numbers for reference only. Thanks again Minidisc forum.
  15. is in Minidisc Haven!
