Good work Boodokhan! Didn knew this one is not working without headphone connected.... How that works?

 

Without connecting a headphone it wont work,. This is the way Sony made this walkman. I got some from eBay and they actually work (sellers didnt know about this fact)

 

t

thank you

 

many many thanks Boodokhan. finally i can now open my walkmans. so excited about it

 

hi boodokhan, what could be the problem if the rewind/fastforward buttons work but the play button only works for 3 seconds then automatically stops? thank you.

 

Unfortunately do not have answer to this question. But hopefully somebody will answer

 

thank you. hoping someone here has a similar case. still many thanks for the help

 

From my little technical knowledge, i think iT is something of motion control... If the walkman defects no rotation, iT stops after a short time...

 

thank you. only the play rotation is defective.. it plays and rotates for 2-3 seconds then automatically stops. however, rewind and fast forward buttons all work well. thanks

 

Yes, because only the play function is motion controlled... IT can happen with a mechanical , or with a sensor places on take up reel.. On that reel you have different partitions ( light - dark) And when iT rotates , the sensor is constant on-off-on-off, so as long as the device receive pulses, iT command to keep working.... Oefoef..... Sorry for my bad English....

 

Thanks again. So, is it still repairable? What should i do to make the play function works well again? Thanks.

 

I'd check S-901. It may be a mechanical (not optical) sensor.
Something like a simple piece of plastic holding two "needles" touching a plastic wheel (probably take-up spinner) with a metallic insert that contacts needles every turn.
