bobt Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Finally got my 980, and a power supply to give me 220, plug it in, disappointment, no action, nothing, took the top off, found the power supply broken into three pieces, box showed no outward signs of shock, deck only had the imperfection that was noted. Pictures show the deck in operation, so somewhere between, France, Iceland, and Cayman, the box was subjected to extreme deceleration and shock. Philippe, Piere, and I are trying for a solution, but I was wondering if anyone stateside, Canadaside, or anywhere else have access to a Sony repair facility on getting a new power supply. The only number on the power supply is JE780ES which tells me supplies are interchangeable, if I could find a 120 volt power supply it would be great, if not, I do have the adapter. You can also e-mail me at bobt@candw.ky Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Bobt I think you receive the Sony JB980 serie QS, not JE980. http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDS-JB980.html I read on your picture a reference on power supply card : JE780, something is hidding other letters on the picture but for sure there is not a JE780ES in the ES serie. http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDS-JE780.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 No one around that can check with Sony? weird! Bob Isn't one problem that no-one has ever actually set eyes on a service manual for the 980? If you can find one on one of these sites that sell them, I would go halves with you on it.

Stephen The problem from my end is that Sony even in a so called international site does not want to sell out of it's jurisdiction, getting anything electronic out of the states is next to impossible unless someone brings it over, their draconian security issues, plenty of terror in a power supply. Japan has refused to answer my e-mails, tres frustrating! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Bobt please send me on my PM plenty of photos of your JB980 broken parts so that I can think of it and perhaps get an advise locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
