greenman99 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have a Sony NH900. Recently I've been unable to make SS copy files to the unit. This is on two different computers, each running the last version of SS under Vista. It used to work - but not any more. I get error 0000662e when I try to initialise discs, then they become unusable (Cannot Record Or Play error on the NH900). SS works fine to inport CDs and so on, just not to copy to disc.Any ideas?

sfbp Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I have a Sony NH900. Recently I've been unable to make SS copy files to the unit. This is on two different computers, each running the last version of SS under Vista. It used to work - but not any more. I get error 0000662e when I try to initialise discs, then they become unusable (Cannot Record Or Play error on the NH900). SS works fine to inport CDs and so on, just not to copy to disc.Any ideas?Before doing anything else make quite sure the hold button isn't on. People report weird problems using the machine remotely when "hold" is set (yellow showing).I assume you cannot write to a disc by any means, including but not limited to the following: add a track mark, delete a file, record using microphone or line/optical input. If this is not so, disregard the rest of this post.Without being an expert (as I only suffered one dead drive, ever) it seems that the major likely reason you cannot write to a disk is, well er, you cannot write to a disk. What I mean by this is that a critical component is the write head which is separate from the read head. It's connected to the electronics by a thin, coated, flexible wire (of course, how else are heads built?; until someone embeds bluetooth there) and the wire may be broken internally or even visibly.Various solutions have involved reattaching (using solder) the wire (or a new, parallel wire made of the the kind of wire you buy in electronics breadboard kits; if you know what I mean there's a chance you can fix this) to the write head, which has been reported to get detached from that wire by repeated flexion. This is pretty tricky stuff. Unless you are an electronics genius Sony repair (out of warranty of course) may be your only option.(edit-update) I found that post http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=4712Good luck; you may need it.
