Jamesg Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) One of my DR-10C's has just started acting up, where after it's been off for more than a couple of minutes, "DATE TIME NG" appears on the display at powerup, then the unit goes straight to the date and time setting page with everything zereod out (see attached pics). I'm assuming that this is because the internal date battery is dead? the AA batteries are all good, and it has latest firmware. It's been sat on the shelf for probably near to a year, so it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case, but anyone had this happen? Anyone ever replaced the internal battery? I'm in the US (brought these from the UK) so I'd rather avoid sending them in for service if at all possible..

Philip Perkins Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Int battery sounds like a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesg Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Has to be, but I don't know if it's user serviceable? Loathe to just start taking it to bits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 You know, I don't think it has an internal battery. Are you sure your AAA batt is good and the contacts are clean? Can you try it on USB power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesg Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yeah, batt is 100% good, and the unit is basically new... I'll give Tascam UK a call tomorrow. Tascam USA aren't able to help as it's not sold in the USA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
