VillagerN Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 So, I'm the one who thought she'd got lucky on replacing her faulty NH900 (the loose menu button).However, after a weekend of using SimpleBurner to transfer a good part of my CD collection and SS3.1 to tweak, it's all been for nothing.Plugged unit into hifi (optical) and saw "Cannot record or play". Eventually message went away, and I started recording CD. Only then did I realise the previous 20hrs on the disc had been erased.I own two (yes, a whole two) Hi-MDs, and now I get a read error pretty much every second time I put one in the NH900.Can anyone give me a reason not to take the second unit back for a refund - not exchange?? Think I'm going to sacrifice the extra capacity and return to my NF810. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) Bad disc, or bad writing head/laser. Get a replacement. If the third one doesn't resolve it, ask for a refund.Also make sure you set EndSearch to the "From end" position. Otherwise you'll end up overwriting any previous recordings.

ROMBUSTERS Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 does it still work recording digitally from the PC? if so im not sure its the optical block, it may just have been a personal mistake that caused you to overright everything = still doesnt explain the error message however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillagerN Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well I'm going to wait now to return to Hi-MD. Was easier to get a refund from Argos than source another one (they had none left unsurprisingly) or bother with getting it fixed. Have to say getting two faulty ones didn't fill me with confidence about a third, and have been getting flak for buying it anyway (some people just don't understand!). I'm sure it *was* an issue with the unit rather than me, since it just didn't seem right afterwards.It's a shame, but there we go. Glad I've now got a use for my eBay 710 anyway!
