Guest Anonymous Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hi, my dad just bought a new N-510 and since I'm the tech guy in our family I'm supposed to make all of this work. Here's the problem: I've installed the softwares bundled with the player without problem, but when I plug the N-510 into my Pc using the USB cable, my PC doesn't seem to recognise it. I go to the device manager page and there are no (!), no device conflict or else; just like I had not installed anything. On the SonicStage screen when I run it I have the "Device is not connected" mesage.... On the N-510, I can see the MD--PC icon that is flashing, so the connections must have been ok. I've reinstalled about 5 times, tried program upgrades, driver upgrades, read various posts about similar problems but to no use. I run Windows XP Professionnal with everything up to date. In fact this device is the first thing that haven't worked on my PC since a long time. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLank Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Is there a disc in the MD unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 when sonicstage is up and displaying that the unit isn't connected did u try to d/c the usb cable a reconnect it again??? usually this works for me to get rid of that problem...

Guest Anonymous Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Thanks, I found the solution, very strangely though. I opened the MD player to show to my girlfriend what was a Minidisc and when I popped it back in, it stopped spinning (it was spinning non-stop before that). I heard the USB-chime sound and voilà! The unit was detected. However I suspect of having a bad unit (and going to the store today for a replacement) for a couple reasons: 1: When I try to record music using SonicStage or Simple Burner, it usually fails around 10-12%, no matter every setting I try. 2: I randomly get the "Device not connected" problem, and sometimes the minidisc inside the unit keeps on spinning, sometimes it stops after 5 minutes. I tried 2 different minidiscs and I have the same problem. Too much weird stuff happening with this player, my little finger tells me that it is defective simple as that. Thanks for the replys though!! S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
