Recently, I made a new friend here on Elten. This friend wanted a couple of demos from my Yamaha P-115 digital piano.
Before I left the states the second time, well, back in 2012, I bought an expensive, professional Olympus LS-100 recorder. All I seemed to be able to do was mess up the LI50B battery in it. I bought a replacement battery for it and it, too, didn’t want to charge after my first use of it, so I gave up on the recorder. I have another friend who has no such trouble, but technology hates me, sad face.
Now, I decided to record those demos using this recorder, so I dragged it and all the necessary accessories out, plugged it up and made the recordings for my friend. After I was done, I unplugged it and discovered that the battery had charged a bit. Color me shocked, happy and relieved!
I don’t keep the battery in the unit as I don’t use it enough to warrant that, and the clock would run that battery down.
So, it isn’t a total loss. I felt, for a long time, that I’d wasted my money on the recorder but I don’t feel that way any more.
Yeah, here’s to new friends, and unexpected jewels in life!
Yep, you got it!
This new friend you made is me. like to play keyboard, like technology, like to play the drums, and so on.
Or maybe not. Recently I got the crazy battery to charge, and it actually held the charge this time. Hmm, I wonder if there’s something in the air. If so, I hope it keeps on.
A sad update about the battery in the Olympus LS-100, when it’s plugged in it does appear to charge. However, when unplugged, it immediately loses all its charge, no matter how far along it is. I have, therefore, come to the conclusion that the LI50B battery is done for.
You mean of my music? Well, I may put something up then, smile.
It’s a good news! I’m looking forward to these samples.
