Hello Guys and girls. Sorry that my first post is a negative one, but hopefully some kind soul can turn it into a positive one for me. here's my problem... I recently purchased an NWA3000. I upgraded the firmware to V3.0 and installed Sonicstage 4.0 CP. My unit worked perfectly for a couple of weeks until this morning. Even though I have not added, removed, changed or in fact done anything with my pc, software or hardware in general, Sonicstage decided that it didn't want to recognise that my NWA3000 was connected. I checked my PC and it recognises the Walkman just fine. The player just kinda hangs in a permanent state of trying to connect. I've trawled the internet in hope of trying to find a solution. Is it my pc? The software? or the player? The Sony FAQ site said that if my pc recognises the device, but Sonicstage doesn't it is probably because my pc formatted the player (?) and all I need to do is re-initialise the player. Which I did (Losing everything I put on it) but it didn't solve my problem. It still doesn't recognise that the now blank player is connected. Aaaaaaargh! I removed Sonicstage and re-installed it but still no luck. I really am out of ideas. I'll try Sony at some point but are well aware of how awful they can be with customer support. I'm hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction? Cheers and here's hoping...
