onlykaria Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 you know the same thing happened to me. i actually ended up having to take it back. i think its a program with the construction. i do think that if you lock the unit and control it only with the remote itll fix the problem. but i am not 100% sure on this.

darkfusion Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 This problem is quite common in MZ-N505's, I know several people that have experianced this after time. It *could* be due to dust build up, in which case a good idea would be to grab a can of compressed air and try blowing it around the buttons. The reason I suggest this fix is because I know of a similar case in which it's fixed the same problem on an MD-DR7, however the problem may be down to the actual firmware. If that fails, you can try opening it (providing the warranty has expired anyway) and try giving it all a clean, getting rid of the dust etc. around the buttons. If this doesn't work, I doubt it's worth getting it repaired by Sony as you could probably pick up a higher model on eBay for the same amount as the repair costs. Good luck!

porio Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi, I downloaded the service manual for the N505. Is there anything else that I should know before opening the unit? (or before trying to re-assemble it?) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
