ala Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi, I haven't used my mini disk in a few years,and it seems to be working but i am not able to charge the battery.The new ac adapter is working but when i put the mini disk on the charging dock nothing happens.The mini disk works when in the charging dock but its not showing on the screen that its charging.I pressed the charging button on the mini disk a few times and took it off the dock and put it back on also but still not working.When i purchased the ac adapter at sony here in india i took the batteries with me to have checked and they said they were not charged.I remember when i used the mini disk last a few years back that the charging button would sometimes not work.Im wondering if its something i can fix or should i bring to sony repair. Thanks for your advise Ala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Please don't keep posting in "Announcements" which is intended for the administrators and such (mind you if you just had a baby we might leave it there!). I have now moved both your posts.After checking that that terminals are not corroded with green guck (wash carefully by using a swab (Qtip) with a cotton wool end you have dipped in WATER, the battery probably is simply not working. Guess what, unlike Ap**e, you don't have to throw the machine away when the battery fails!You need to revive the batteries or buy new ones. There's something called a BC-700 (and some other things like it) which may do the job. There's a microprocessor in it that will do its best to make the battery work again.The problem you will have with this particular model is connectors:http://www.amazon.ca/Crosse-Technology-BC-700-Battery-Charger/dp/B000RSOV50It's not designed for the prismatic batteries used by the NH900. Integrating the ability to charge NiMH minidisk batteries is up to you - you have to make something that will connect to it from the BC700 (or whatever device you can buy).You may prefer to get new ones. There has been much written here (on the site) about this. Good luck, and happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 You still have the external AA battery case solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Sorry to say I tried to clean up the other thread (frankly it would have been better here anyway) and deleted it by mistake. Sorry, Ala. One notable point, DO NOT use rechargeables in the AA battery case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
