MZ-RH10 Jog Dial

[Guilo]

Hi !

My Jog Dial is behaving the wrong way. When I go down , it goes down. But if I go down once more, it goes up on the device. In fact I can only select two items in any list of the minidisc.

Any idea ? Thanks

That one I can do.

It's a setting under Option->JogDial. There are two choices, namely Default and Reverse. Clearly you desire "Default".

Unfortunately it is not what I want. If I always go down with the Jog Dial on the screen it will go up once, down once, up once, alternating only two entries. I cannot select anything else.

You can try cleaning the contacts. You'll have to learn how to remove the casing.

OK thanks, it's what I was scared about. No chanche it could be software related ? Can I reset the unit ?

I have disassembled my unit with the service manual. I have found the jog dial and have tried to clean the contacts. I have rebuilt the unit but now the jog dial doesn't work at all for scrolling (click still works). Does anybody know where I can fond a replacement item ? Thanks

EDIT : back to the problem after a few tries. Here is the sequence shown by the key test mode if I always go down :

JOG-1

JOG+1

JOG-2

JOG+2

JOG-3

JOG+3

JOG-OK

JOG+OK

if it can help...

Quick question: does it make any difference what power source you use? If the problems do NOT occur when you are plugged into a 3V adapter, that tells us a lot, I think.

BTW don't even think about resetting. You will lose all the calibration and the unit will be completely useless without a visit to someone with a Laser power meter and a calibrated power supply.

It does not depend on the power source. Ok, I will not try to reset then !
