The Olympus DS-330 was dropped and now it has a padlock on the screen and when I try and record it says read only memory. How can I turn off the lock?
You may need to format the recorder to clean the file system on the recorder. Follow the directions below to format: If you format the recorder, all function settings will return to their defaults*. All files** stored in the recorder will be deleted. If you have important files that you want to save, connect the recorder to a computer and transfer those files from the recorder to the computer before formatting the device. * Date and time settings won't be cleared, so you won't need to set them again. ** Locked files will also be deleted. 1 Press and hold the FOLDER/MENU button for 1 second or longer. The menu opens. 2 Press the up or down arrows button to choose "FORMAT". 3 Press the REC/SET button again. 4 Press the FF or REW to choose "START". 5 Press the REC/SET button. Formatting starts. "FORMAT DONE" displays when formatting ends.

Thank you so much for you help that worked wonders.
This solution does not work on my Olympus. When I press the menu button, FORMAT isn't listed anywhere.
