Hi all Can anyone help me here, i have just got my hands on a A3000 (after i dropped my nw-HD5 ) and use the unit in my van (via a cable to the player) I used to leave my old player running all night, and after the album had finished it would automatically play the next album in the list (alphabetically) but the A3000 plays the selected album then shuts down, which is so infuriating!!! Been through all the manuals and settings, but can't stop this from happening, so any advice would be appreciated..... I miss my HD5!!

Hi all I've just composed myself after the 'death' of my HD5. I dropped it and now only get the spinning logo for 30 secs then the unit powers down. This also happened to my NW-HD3 too about 2 years ago, so i am a little miffed about the so called "G-Shock" technolgy that these little buggers are supposed to have, as they were not dropped from a great height and have no visible damage to the casing either. I saw the tips regarding draining the battery and then fully recharging, but how can i drain the battery if the unit powers off after 30 secs? Any help would be appreciated, as i am not in the position to purchase a replacement at the moment. Many thanks guys
