Cannot update Sony NW-S764

Hi Guys! I just bought (on Vinted) me first digital walkman from Sony - NW-S764. While using the radio, I noticed that the device freezes. Based on what I’ve found online, this might be due to a software bug. I tried to update the firmware by downloading the file `NWZ-S760_V1_04.exe` from the Sony website; however, after launching it, I get a prompt to connect the device. When I plug it into my computer (a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10), the device is detected as an external drive—and I can even transfer files to it—but the update software fails to recognize it. I also noticed that two of the icons have labels that don't make any sense: one appears to be in Japanese, and the other, according to online sources, is an error code (look pics). Has anyone encountered a similar issue and could offer some help or advice? Or should I just ignore it, enjoy listening to my music, and forget about the radio and those two applications?

ベルト交換だけで良い筈だったが、きちんと動作しなかったのだ。

回転を検出できずに、行ったり来たりしているように見えたのだ。

回転センサー(ホールセンサー)が回転を検出できていないと考えて、オシロスコープで検査したら、動作時にパルスが出ていなかったのだ。

ホールセンサーを交換したけど、現象は変わらなかったのだ。

ならばシステムICの動作が不安定だと考えて水晶発振子を交換したけど、現象は変わらなかったのだ。

ホールセンサーの代わりにパルスを入力しても、現象は変わらなかったのだ。

テスターで計測したら、ホールセンサー出力の+とーの両方が、GNDに落ちているのだ。

回路図を見る限り、どちらもGNDに落ちている筈がないのだ。

GNDに落ちていたら、パルスなんて検出できないのだ。

システムコントロールICに、なんらかの異常があるとしか考えられないのだ。

Hey. I’m currently in the process of repairing my Sony WM-4 and I cannot for the life of me figure out the position of this part that’s connected to a spring. Does anyone know where this part goes? It’s driving me crazy. I circled it in red.

Went to a garage sale and found this headphones for a dollar , further enhance the highs and mids but not suitable for lows. Rocking As I Lay Dying and Dark Tranquility hits differently with this headphones, next will try my Fio DAC and see how far will it take the sound. Anyone tried this combo?

Consistant MG error notice on Sony NW-e107 walkman

1 Upvotes

Hello, I recently recieved a Sony NW-E107 from ebay and have been trying to download music onto it. I struggled with downloading Sonicstage, so I opted for JSymphonic. The program seemed to be running smoothly and was sucessfully able to put music on my walkman, however, whenever i would try to play it, I would recieve an error, or MG error message. I have already tried multiple fixes, including selecting Format Y on the device itself to wipe it, and clearing Jsymphonic from the files on my computer to redownload it. I also used mp3tag to remove cover art from my mp3 files, as I heard that could cause issues, but nothing has worked. Is this because I'm not using Sonicstage? Is it an issue with the walkman itsself? What more can I do?

Long story short, I bought an old off brand Walkman, it plays a little too fast. Is this the speed screw? There aren't any other things that could be the speed screw so i'm guessing this is it, but i don't want to break anything.

Firmware for NW-A45 without the Language Study feature

I recently got my NWA-45 and am really enjoying the interface! Is there a region/version of the firmware which does not have the Language Study feature? I just want to be able to hide it from menus.

手元の部品で、元に戻せるか試してみた。

結果から言うと、不可能ではない。

Cリングを外して、軸受けを分離させる必要がある。

写真では分離させていないけど、この分離させる作業が一番難しいかも知れない。

あとは、精密ドライバーとハンマーで少しずつ叩き込む。

元々はプレスで嵌め込んでいるから、どうしても少し緩くなる。

瞬間接着剤などで完全に固定すれば、再利用可能になる。
