NW A1200 too old?

[DBerm]

Hey guys, I am new to this forum, but a friend had recommended me to sign here and check if there was a solution to this problem:

I have had for about four years a NW A1200, and lately, the battery is lasting too little. I am not using any special equalizer option, and I normally hear at around 12 to 15 in volume, but the battery is lasting about three hours. Is the player too old? Should I buy a new one, or change its battery?

I don't recall the details of the NW A1200 but I am sure that replacing the battery if you can source the correct item would not bee to difficult to do. I replaced the battery in my NW-HD1 a year or so ago and it has worked like new ever since.

You'll need to open the unit and remove the battery to get the exact part number. Youmay be able to find it on eBay. If you are lucky, the battery will be the same as that of some other portable units and there may be multiple sources.

Thanks, but I was seeing and it is practically impossible to get a battery where I live. Do you have any recommendation for a sony player??

You can get battery from ebay. Some Chinese dealers have it for about $15, just do a search for NW-A1000. The battery replacement instruction is in the original manual, you can download one from Sony.
