I've just managed to find the service bulletin here. I don't know why I didn't find that before! Still.... Has anyone done this, or had a shop do it? How much did it cost? John

Thanks for the advice. I blew through the lid and it fixed the mode button for a short time, so I took the lid off and the display and cleaned that bit up, put it back together and that seems to have sorted it for the moment. As for the batter charging problem, I've tried cleaning the contacts but it hasn't worked. At this place there is a service bulletin listed for the MZ-R30 no battery charging problem; does anyone know what it contains before I shell out for it (or have a copy!). Thanks John

Hi all, I'm having problems with my MZ-R30. First of all, I recently bought a new battery for it, but it doesn't seem to be charging - maybe it's the battery, but I'll leave it in for a while to see what happens. The other thing is that the controls are doing funny things; when I press the stop button, it changes the playback mode as well as stopping, i.e. it goes through the repeat, shuffle cycle etc. That also happens when I press the volume and forward/rewind buttons. In record mode, all those buttons seem to change from mono to stereo recording. Finally the mode button on the lid doesn't appear to be working. Does anyone know if this is a common problem, and if it can be fixed easily (e.g. by me)? Is there a "factory reset" operation for the MZ-R30? Any help gratefully appreciated. John PS - I've tried searching for MZ-R30 on this forum, but nothing comes up!
