abboot Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 A few years ago I updated the firmware of my minidisc HiMD MZ-NH10. It was during a update of Sonic Stage. During the update ther was a error. Result: the display of my MZ-NH10 always says "No disc". But there is no trouble with my discs. Now after a few years I fount back my minidisc MZ-NH10 and I want start using it again. Does anyone have firmware for my Sony MZ-NH10 ? Or another solution?

abboot Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 This is not spam! I have a serious question! I want a solution for my minidisc-player saying "No disc" while there is a good disc in my player. I tried all my discs, but every time the display says "No disc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Let's try a different tack... 1. Where did you find out how to update firmware. Link please. As far as I am aware no MD player or recorder has ever had a way to be updated. (Regulars beware!) 2. What is the MZ-NH10? Picture please. I think I know where this is going.

abboot Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 MZ-NRH10 HiMD Perhaps I am mistaken and was it just a update of Sonic Stage. I remember that at the same time there was an update for JAVA. On my screen there came a error message and from that moment I had on my MZ-NH10 the message "No disc". Could it be a coincidence???

sfbp Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Pure coincidence, I think. There's no update to firmware that we know of. IF you got unlucky, there's likely noone in the world who can help, unless you speak fluent Russian and don't mind hanging around a certain forum (I can find the details for you). However, even for those guys, I never heard of procedures to load complete firmware, only the parameters for it. If i were you I would become an expert in initializing these things. The service manual is here for your use. You will need gear. Expensive gear. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrockaddict Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 seriously i think it won´t be a matter of firmware. does it spin the disc ? maybe its just the "disc-in" connector that is bad. already tried to press down the unit on the bottom left ? There is the pin that usually gets pressed down to indicate a disc is inside and to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abboot Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 The disc doesn't spin, I hear no sound of the disc at all. Can you tell me more about the disc-in connector, I can' t see a pin on the bottom left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrockaddict Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 you probably can´t see this without disassemble the unit. i´ll take pictures of an opened RH10 and post these so that you have a clue of what area iam talking about Hey Phillipe if i may ask.. why do you recommend to contact Jim? Idk why but my Mails i send him didn´t get read even after months. And i read somewhere in the Forums this had not only happen to me. This is probably not a big issue so i think he can find out himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Jim's email has been up and down over the years. This does indeed sound like a Jim-problem. I note, in passing, that the mechanism of this unit is the same as in all HiMD units except the MZ-RH1. Not the circuit board, however. When in doubt, look for the most detailed information in the MZ-NH900 service manual. It contains some details that accidentally got left out of the service manuals for some models. I am still puzzling over the problem you had - clearly the unit was working and then suddenly did not. Could it be you did the famous "unlock trick" (sorry, a euphemism) where the unit is powered off in the middle of recording, and you could not figure out how to get the disk out?

abboot Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for all ideas, everybody! @Punkrockaddict: could you make some pictures for me? That would help a lot, I think. @sfbp: I didn't have the famous "unlock trick" as far as I know. The only thing I did was an update and at the same time I got a message for an updat for Java and I did this update at the same time. After a few minutes I read a fault message (I don't know which message) about not being able to complete the update. And immediately There was the message on my MZ-NH10 "No disc". I tried more than 10 discs. No result. Should I trie to use a screwdriver to open the unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
