YP-T7 Working fine for a long time but started getting HOLD indications on screen - even though the switch was in normal position. Over time, it became increasingly difficult to use/turn on because it was always stuck in HOLD mode (even though switch was in normal position) HOLD Switch felt normal from the outside. I opened up the unit to test the switch with a DVM and it appears to be working normally. What I noticed with the unit disassembeled was that by slightly twisting the PCB, I could get it to toggle between hold and normal. Problem appears to be a bad solder joint or defect in PCB but difficult/impossible to fix without schematic. (If I knew the pin number of the MCU I could just hard wire the hold inpuit to the MCU to normal operation.)

My samsung YP-U2 has HOld on it when i turn it on,when it lights up theres a lock piture showing ,can enyone help me with this,please,cant get to play my songs,

Hi, not a solution but that is exactly what is happening to my T10 as well. It just started working this way yesterday and I don't know how to fix it. When I want to change a song, I have to slide the power switch so that I'm nearly turning it off to change a song. As well as that, I can see the 'lock' symbol on my screen even when I don't put my T10 on hold. Someone please help?

I am sorry to say that your best bet is to get a new one because the cost of repair is not worth it.

inset the key and switch on to position 2
Scroll through the warning display untill you get the service indicator apears
Press and hold the reset button on the left of the dash apnel for about 4 mins
You will be asked if you want to reset
Press anh hold the reset button again until you hear an audible warning
It should now show the new interval to a service

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

yp-t7 is builded w protected switch,to prevent loss data,
u can switch that by click reset button when u is connecting on usb port

I have the same problem with my player same model....

unhold it

I went to the technicall service.They fix it. They told me i had water inside (humidity) they have clean the chips, formated again (they said)
90 minutes of hand work= 72 euros.
You may try to open it and with a hair dryer?¿?¿?¿

Now is working properly, but I have 70 euros lessin my pocket..

Good luck

I am a user with the exact same problem as you desribed for my DSC-T7. My problem started when I splashed two drops of water need the battery door and then the camera would not power up. I removed battery and card for a day and camera worked fine for another day. The following day, I left my camera in my sun visor of my car for the day (>90 deg F outside) which I forgot that I put it there. The next day my camera did power up in the locked mode exactly as yours. I do not know if it was the water drops or the heat but it is doing exactly as you desribe. However, here is something that I have discovered while trying to get the camera to work: 1. I plugged the adapter into the side of the camera since I am concerned that the USB port is the issue. 2. I plugged the USB cable into my portable printer and powerer the printer up and then turned on the camera in all three modes to see if anything changed and it did not. 3. I have found if you turn off the printer with the USB cable still in the printer and the adapter, the camera then enters a mode that shows thw word "ACCESS" and then the camera works perfectly. All modes of the camera work fine. But as soon as you power up the printer or remove any of the cables or remove the adapter the camera reenters the locked mode. This is not a solution but an indicator that the USB port is possibly causing the problem but not sure why the printer being off causes the camera to work fine. In addition, have all of the cables hooked up and to the printer does not allow the camera to be used with any mobility but wanted to let you know what I have discovered and hopefully maybe this may lead to a potential solution.
