kris01 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi Recently I got MDS-JA555ES. Previous owner didn't care much about it so it visible on the front panel but also didn't use it. Total play time is about 220 hours and only 3 hours for recording. Today I noticed strange thing. Power is on, display is working, seems it is playing but every button is inactive. I can't even switch it off or eject minidisc. I had to remove plug from mains. I checked all easily accesible connections. Could it be temperature and humidity problem? It is so hot.

PhilippeC Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Damned, And the problem occur on the ultimate unit... NGY or sfbp will be more helpfull than me but as the previous owner did not use the unit that much, the front panel could have dust or contacts problem inside.

sfbp Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 More likely something got bounced around in transit, and finally came loose with use. I'm guessing the ribbon cable between the front panel and the rest of the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 If this is the ribbon cable, it look like something that can easily be fixed. We cross fingers for you kris01. Take pictures if you do not find the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris01 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thx for replies. Today it works fine. Could be another flat wire problem. I check it if I have more free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
