mhn21 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 hey everyone.I havent been using my MD for quite some time(close to a year) and recently when i tried using it i find that i can;t seem to charge the battery.On AC power its fine, but when i remove it it just dies. And normally when u press stop a few times it will display charging on the screen.Now it does not display the word charging. Is it a problem with my battery or the MD itself?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avrin Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Try cleaning the battery contacts. The NH-10WM's and NH-14WM's contacts oxidize very fast. Cleaning the contacts always helps me with my RH910. See here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=21439 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungerdunger Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Do you have any other problems with the buttons on the unit? I've owned two NH900s, and both have malfunctioned. Each time the "Stop" button has become very temperamental, and one one of them has stopped working altogether. The other one I can get to work about half the time. With mine, their other favourite trick is when you press stop, they just go back to the beginning of the track and start again -- do you get this?

unignal Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 the same exact thing happen to my NH900 and my DH10P, i've replaced the batteries on both of them, still same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhn21 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 i tried cleaning the batteries contacts and the one inside the md and now its starts charging... guess it was just oxidation...but it cant hold charge for long... the batteries getting old i think. need some new ones.as to the buttons its still okay. but the stop and the menu button require more pressure to work now. i need to press harder.
