Levanel Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Just recently, I've been uploading loads of music by SonicStage 1.5 (no excuse) via CD ripping and MP3 importing. Until yesterday afternoon, everything was working fine. Now I found out in the morning I can't even get my computer to recognize the recorder, via USB connection. Usually, when you dock the MZN10 on it's cradle, a "PC->->MD" message would appear on the LCD screen. Now, no message shows up and the buttons are fully functional even when nestled in the cradle. I've tried reinstalling the NetMD driver (and yes, I did unplug the dedicated USB cable before installing). I've checked whether the USB connection was stable, fully inserted or not. I've even checked WinXP's device manager to see whether the device showed up on the hardware profile or not. And lastly, I've installed SonicStage 3.1 (separately - still wanted my 1.5) and it still wouldn't register.Now I'm totally confused. Has the USB cable itself gone to hell? Or the recorder itself? One thing I did notice though was whenever the funky USB cable for the MZ10 was unplugged from the unit, the "PC->->MD" message would appear briefly for less than a second. If indeed the USB cable is the problem, I'm not ready to shell out big bucks for it anytime soon, whether Sony still offered "surplus" accessories. I can still use my recorder for live recordings, and the digital toslink recording still functions normally. I need my NetMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 try using the usb cable for another device (like a printer) to see if it is indeed the cable.If the cable is crap dont worry to much, they only cost about $5~10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levanel Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Went browsing through the forums via search function and found two related threads:http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=4499&hl=http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=4499&hl=Maybe there are a handful of people with this kind of problem and is perhaps an isolated incident .. but I would not like to think so. Sigh, now I'm devoid of the netMD feature whom I come to love so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
