tjal Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Although I'm just a newbie I dare to ask fo help. Lately I got Sony's MZ-N707 but it seems to be "a little" damaged. When I try to turn it on it shows only Version of installed software [Ver 1. 100] and lower it shows 00 3 It blinks alternately with full-screen (I mean all the stuff available on the screen) When I trun rec on it shows P00R00 and lower 0 00. Maybe anyone have met with such an error? I suppose that something's wrong with software. Anyone... help... please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Did you try to hack the unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjal Posted April 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Nope. I haven't. I've tried to enter the servie settings but unfortunately I couldn't. Maybe previous owner tried but I can only guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDX-400 Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Service mode is normally exited by simply removing all power sources from the unit. I.e. remove the battery and take it off the charge stand and/or disconnect the AC adapter. If the unit fails to come out of service mode that usually indicates a problem. This usually will only occur if the manual laser adjustment procedure has been entered and not completed. This can be done by pressing random buttons while in service mode while not knowing the consequences... However completing the manual adjustment/calibration is pretty much something that requires a technician/repair shop to do--it requires some dissasembly of the unit, special equipment/tools as well as the know-how to perform. The unit may have also gotten stuck in this mode due to another general malfunction or failure, such as if the NVRAM or EEPROM (whaever the units use to store the calibration settings) were somehow erased or some other electronic problem occured in the unit. It's strange that this has happened to you though, we've had a few more reports of the same things happening to other people's units. I have no idea how this is happening but let's just hope it doesn't become any more common than it is! Unfortunately if your unit isn't working after removing the battery/AC adapter then you're either in for a visit to the shop or a new unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
