NW-HD5 blank screen

[dready690]

Good day to you all,

I'm writing to you because of a very recent problem concerning my sony NW-HD5 (European version).

I've run into an error when starting the player, as it starts up, there is a blank screen, however the buttons still work, so its like operating it blind, I can still pause/play, lower/higher volume and such. Im not entirely sure how to attack the problem. My computer recognises it, so does SS, I can transfer tracks etc.

The backlight lights up as I start it, so I'm not entirely sure wether the screen could be broken, and it turns off after the delay and back on as i hit one of the buttons. I've tried formatting the drive through windows, but the same problem persists.

Any help offered is great.

Robin

As everything else seems to work ok, I would say your screen has gone. Best bet would be to contact Sony to see how much it would cost to repair it. However, it probably wouldn't be economical to repair it and you would be better off investing in a new dap.
