wolb1 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Turn walkman off as long as connected to PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Question: did you try to open it when there was a disk in and it had been recording? Was it necessary to force it open even one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBoy71 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 It had finished recording from the lap top made the finalize noise and opened normally. I didn't have to force it open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Ok, this is the model that the battery is wired in? Does the machine even come on at all when disconnected from USB? I'm not clear from your description. If the answer is that "nothing happens when not connected to USB" (ie nothing on the display), you had better connect the computer end of the charger cable into a straight charger (eg Samsung phone will do). If still no action, you will have to search on here (I can look later but am busy now) and follow the directions of someone who fixed the battery replacement problem. It's not hard, but some electronics experience is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works fine records and plays via the laptop on sonic stage 4.3. When I disconnect it stays on PC mode and can't get it to play or access the menu via jog dial. Just keeps flashing PC-md every time I press a button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 You need to plug it into a power source that is not the PC. Then turn it off (remove the disk and wait). Alternatively try to run the battery down on purpose, now we've established the battery is fine. Disconnect from PC when playing (you said that it will play just fine) and let it discharge. If that fails to help, you will have to go to service mode. HOWEVER, I suspect you have a hardware problem. Do NOT nuke the NVRAM (911 option) in the device unless you know how to build it up from nothing. This most likely requires gear that most folks don't possess. The hardware problem might be: 1. failure of the VS circuitry (the USB connector) 2. microswitches 3. something else leading to the signals between PC and NetMD not working. This could even be on your PC. Have you tried another computer? Bad luck. My condolences on your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
