Sony d-ej2000 problem

[glareguard]

Got a second hand sony discman without charger stand.
Plug in the DC, it works.
However, use a charged up battery, no light or any indicator on remote.
Use a not-charged up battery, shows lowbatt in the remote.


Any input would be appreciate!

Your post is confusing.

As a general tip, putting the unit in the charging stand while using battery power screws up the meter (while stand unplugged).

You've charged the battery, right? You hold down "stop" to charge.

Sorry for the confusion.

The second hand Sony d2000 discman does not come with the charging stand. I cannot use the discman to charge the battery.

However, my friend got another Sony discman 985 using the same battery. I use his battery in my discman and the unit does not work. There is nothing shown in the remote.

However, I put back the original battery into the discman and it shows lowbatt. The discman works 100% when DC was plug-in with the external transformer.

Why don't you contact Sony for a replacement charger? I wouldn't think it would cost too much.

DO!

I think the unit may be busted, I dunno. Sony's internal battery chargers are known to quit on people, maybe this one's has gone...I'm not sure.

Umm...the unit has an internal charger, does the battery work in his unit?

Get sony BCH-7HT charger atAudiocubes It charge battery much faster than the charging stand.

I'm now useing the SONY BC-9HS battery chargers (the just come with my cassette player SONY WM-EX9)~~

But BC9HS is 110V for Japaness only, it needs a converter when using~~
but it's a 1-hour-quick-charger (1.2A/1.2V OutPUT)~

Have Sony removed the yellow rimmed power charging socket on the EJ2000 then?

That seems daft logic - if you go on vacation, are you really going to want to take the charging cradle with you? (not sure what it looks like, but if its anything like the one that came with the EJ1000, its not exactly the shape for putting somewhere discreetly?!

I don't understand though, how a fully charged battery will do nothing, yet a virtually dead battery brings the LCD up... are you sure that this one 'spare' battery isn't completly dead anyway? - as D-EJ915 said, some players are notorious for failing... so, if you had really bad luck, and this battery wasn't charging due to a fault in your friends CDP....???

Strange.

i dunno what he's talking about. i'm charging mine just fine without the cradle, you plug the power in and press the stop button and it lights up red to indicate that it's charging.
