Seriously though, if I may ask, can you hear a slight click on the audio, as if the audio is being muted rapidly, when the stop button is pressed? I ask as I have an E44 in for repair, and both this and my only good stock unit share this same problem. They also go off, as if the battery was disconnected, when shook quite vigorously. This is a good test of the G-Protection anti-shock circuitry working, but I have never known another unit go dead like this. And that is after ensuring the battery is positively fitted with good, well sprung terminals in a clean condition - so that is ruled out.

oroville Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Some eBay I am deployed so I have a lot of extra cash I am collecting minidisc as well I am about 300 I think.. Will put up pics later and yes my unit shuts off but only if I use one of those off brand batteries not the Sony kind as for the clicking mine never clicks but I can always hear the motor running like its constantly loading the music and I have noticed it hates Memorex disc.

Azureal Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 You have all of that equipment with you on your deployment? Keep a lock on it! Any other GIs with any interest in your hobby? I don't think most people understand our obsession ... :-) Nice stash oroville! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oroville Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Nope no one cares about any of my minidisc they just laugh and call any of my units that I use at work an atrack player I just laugh and say "please enjoy your iPods you I-sheep" and go about my day so I have nothing to worry about and your so right how no one understands our obsession. My wife thinks I am a little crazy for using minidisc still, like I tell everyone who asks... "Quality over quanity" But just to be clear I will never leave the format until all of my units have stopped working and I can't find anymore to buy.
