NickHead Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 HI , thanks for reading. In my wisdom to explore the test-mode of the afformentioned item, I got it stuck in there - permanently. It will not resume back to normal play.rec mode. Anyone got any ideas to get me sorted. Many thanks. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHead Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Remove the battery! Cheers for that but I have tried it. Running on a PSU. Left with no power for 20 Mins. Upon restart, it flashes up in test mode again. I need a hard reset sequence . I think it is getting stuck on the CD/MO test option, that I aint got... Shame to chuck it out....

sfbp Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 what's a PSU? Do you have the service manual? The correct procedure for exiting test mode on page 11. According to this, if you haven't completed the electrical adjustments then it will automatically start in test mode. See page 18. I can tell you this, you can probably buy 10 MZ-R91's for the price Sony wants for that test disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHead Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Cheers sfbp, PSU = Power Supply Unit. There must be a way to continue, seems a bit silly to put a procedure in there that cannot be stopped. I have the service manual, and have gone thru the options. Still no avail.

sfbp Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think when you did the "all reset" or whatever, you committed to doing a full adjust. You have probably effectively bricked it, sad to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you the truth, i don't think it was working before I went in there so no great loss..... Some one may come up with a solution later on.
