Faulty NH900 going

[VillagerN]

I think I'm going to sell my weirdo NH900 on ebay as faulty since it could be a bargain to anyone who only has 74/80min discs or has another recorder. I am am still curious however as to *why* it will write to regular MDs but not Hi-MDs. First post couple of months back got no response, but any ideas, anyone? It plays Hi-MDs fine, but zones out if I try to transfer anything.

I suggest you try the firmware upgrade that European users used to get proper EQ controls. If you overwrite the firmware, it may well come good.

changing the region settings is no firmware upgrade, it's just a simple firmware hack (you change the settings within the existing firmware) but there is no download/overwrite (not even a PC-MD connection) involved so I really doubt that would fix it

Thanks for the responses, although I don't really want to go fiddling around with bits that may or may not do anything. I was just curious really as to what might actually be wrong with it, since it seems like an odd fault to me. I could understand it not writing to anything at all.
