rymannphilippe Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hello I found this for enter the Service mode: 1) Switch the "hold" key on-off 2) press and hold T-MARK 3) press FF FF FR FR FF FR FF FR Pause Pause I have tried this many times but not worked. Can anybody confirm this please? Can it be a lucky press because on older device the FF and FR are not so good? AND YES I know it can be dangerous. It's a shame so many asked this question and so many people are "smart" and only speak about the danger insteadt to give the asked question. So please only give answer to the question to the right combination. For be "smart" go to another place, thanks ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rymannphilippe Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think I found another solution for entering TEST MODE / Service mode: Short the SL802 (TEST) contact on the Mainboard. You find this soldering point on PAGE 33 (D/1). I will test this solution and post my results.

sfbp Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 When the remote is not working, or the buttons are intermittent (common on RH1), there has always been the option to bridge SL802 (or its equivalent) on almost every MD portable (possibly except some very early ones). I have definitely used this on my recalcitrant MZ-E909 when nothing else worked. There are also software packages (inevitably designed for NetMD and specifically USB 1.1) which will do it in software. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rymannphilippe Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Dear sfbp Thanks for your comment. I will post my doing after I done it :-) Would be nice to see more about this "software". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 The software was supplied to Sony dealers repairing and provisioning MD devices. In HiMD world, it became "TestMode_Enter_For_900_800_700_600_600D_ Ver***.exe". For pre-HiMD it was called "USB_Patchwriter.exe". Somewhere I've got a disk with some of these versions on. So far I never made it work even once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that, in my experience, the charger has to be plugged in and switched on in order to enter service mode. It simply does not work unless there is power connected for me.
