BDP-1 Error 9

[terrycym]

I got this error last Thursday
I googled the error and the recommendation was to reseat the internal serial cable.
First I needed a T8 screwdriver which I luckily had
Then I had to undo 10 (wow!) screws
Unfortunately 4 would just not undo, which I knew about as I has previously attempted to update from v1 to v2 and given up on because of the jammed screws
I tried squirting penetrating oil and leaving the unit for a couple of days
Still no luck so I had to drill out the stuck screws
Once inside, I reseated the serial cable, > no change after switch back on again (yes i had removed the mains cable while working inside the unit)
Damn!
I reseated all the other cables > still no luck.
Finally I reseated the Compact Flash card > success!!!

Since I had now access to the innards, I reflashed the CF card with v2 (Manic Moose)
After using it, it found a new update (v 2.32) which I allowed it to install
This is the first update it found in over 8 years! (??)

So..
After all the about grief I can now connect the BDP-1 to my DAC using a USB cable (must buy a decent one) and play DSF files which I couldn't do before.
The UI has changed a lot!
I still prefer my iPad to connect via Soundirok though.
The Bryston UI is vastly improved in the device management area, not too sure about the player though, just looks different.
