Hi Roger and Bill,
I posted my problem with SD cards back on 29 July 2012.
The problem still exists only when attempting to insert card, which takes a few tries before the red light stays on and it reads the data on the card.
Curiously enough, once the card is received it stays connected forever, after the KB is turned off and on many times.
It occurs with any card I use.
The spring is not consistent in its action with the insertion of the card, as well, also, too !!!
That was when I was advised by others to try the contact spray!!!!!!!!!!

See Ya

Ray

Yup - I'm beginning to be a bit worried about the spring action in my SD Card slot too...
I must look up the technical details sometime and see what can be gently done to help.
Rog

Please keep me posted Roger.

As a newer member I can't help thinking that this Forum is alive and kicking
-----Thanks Nigel for your continuing input----

As a K7 owner, I find there are people that have been there and done that, and are happy to share so that others can benifit.

Long live the Technics forum site -----and I hope that if any Technics Original developers read these articles they will have their concience pricked---- Hope I live long enough to see a KN8000.

Ray I am glad for you that you have got your problem sorted out .

You're very welcome Dave. It is all you guys and gals that keep this forum alive. I think this is the only active Technics forum left online.

Thanks Dave, and welcome.
Only today a good friend brought his newly acquired KN 6000 (s/h) over to me to show me the problems he is having with it.
It appears to be contact problems, as all functions will activate at some time, not always, and not always immediate (like 10 or 12 seconds later) except the home page, which will not show in the screen at all. all other pages will open on the screen but not all will go the next level.
I was advised to try my magic contact spray but I referred him to a regular KB fixer for further advice.
I'm a lover not a technician!!!!!!!!
I may need to get back to this Forum later if he has no success. (With the techician guys!!!)
We do not realise how lucky we are while things are working OK, until they stop.

Thanks NIGEL for your comment re technics support---.

Technics enthusiasm on the forum verses Yamaha forum site
I can't help wondering
---5 Months ago we listed our Technics K7 problem.

Also listed help required on a Yamaha EL40 near the same date in August 2012.

Now isn't that strange with no Yamaha enthusiasm after 5 months to what one would think was a simple problem.
Yes its still listed near the top in the Yamaha Forum page
