Shoes Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Well, I bought a Sharp DR410 the other day, and I've been having problems with it. If I try to copy a CD to iit - in LP2 mode - via Simple Burner, it always says 'Recording failed. A problem occoured while transferring content to the device' It goes fine for a while (copies the first track to 50%, then moves on the the next) but then it just stops. Do you think this is a problem with my hardware, or the software? As far as I can tell, burning on BeatJam seems fine, although I really don't want to use that - it seems arse. Thanks for any help.

Christopher Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi, Shoes - welcome. :happy: Uninstall everything [even the registry edits] via the directions in the NetMD faq. Then I want you to install the ONLY the drivers that are associated with the unit [no beatjam, etc]. After that, download + install Sonicstage 2/Simple Burner 2 [via threads in this forum] and see what luck you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoes Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Done all that. But... Simple Burner/Sonic Stage no longer recognise my MD. Sob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 You installed the only the driver off the cd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoes Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yep. The thing in the 'Driver' folder. I didn't restart after I installed it, though. So I deleted everything again, and rebooted after the driver install... still no luck. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Do you have another computer you can test this out on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoes Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah, I'll try that later/tomorrow. I installed BeatJam afterwards - even that doesn't recognise my hardware. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoes Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Tried it on another PC... no luck. Installed the drivers (not BeatJam), restarted, installed Sonic Stage (via the official installer), restarted, installed Simple Burner... it recognised my MD, but it still stopped copying about one and a half tracks in. Is it broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoes Posted June 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Mine seems to be working now. I spent ages reinstalling and stuff, but then I changed the battery, and it was fine... odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoes Posted June 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 It IS battery problems. I - ahem - dropped it on my bedroom floor (the machine) and it wouldn't copy, it came up with the same error. But I fiddled with the battery, took it out, put it back in, and it was fine. Hooray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I'm glad that Hi-MD units will draw on the USB for power.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Olmos Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Does the Sharp you had problems with, have a very flimsy battery cover, like the ones in models MT899, MT880, MT770, MT777 and perhaps the older MT200, MT190 models? When you mentioned "battery" I immediately clicked and remembered a situation that caused me the same problems with my MT899 NetMD unit. Id would not play after about 5 mins and it just turned itself off!!! It was the battery cover. The metal connector inside the cover can wear out by making itself "thinner" and hence not actually connect with those dreaded gum-stick batteries (I hate those batteries). The way I fixed it was by soldering a small amount of solder onto the connector to make it "thicker" and hence be able to connect to the battery. I never had that problem after that.
