For JB3 Tapers:Problems you have had with your JB3 and what you did to fix them.
« on: January 09, 2005, 04:51:19 PM »
I sometimes read of folks here having problems with their JB3s, so I decided that maybe it would be a good idea to archive these problems/corrections as a resource for other JB3 tapers and perhaps potential JB3 buyers...So, if you have had problems and got it worked out, please list the problem and what you did to correct it here. Thanks yall..(The JB3 still kicks much ass..)

+T in 12 ray ;D

thats a nice lil rig ya got going there bud ;)

bet that combo kicks some ass 8)

whered ya get the xstreamz?

EDIT: heres my first resourceful post in this thread.

sometimes after i format my drive on the jb3, it wont power up all the way and says 'firmware problem'

first off, NEVER RUSH THE JB#, let it power up/down fully, dont rush it

when that error comes up, you have to have a copy of your jb3 frmware on your comps HD to the jb3, quick fix if youre ready for it

My german sound engineer buddy sold me the x-streams for 45 euro. Not bad. Thanks for contributing bean! I hope to get this thread really full so it can be archived and become realy helpful for others. You know where you stand with me , bean. +T . All I need to complete my rig is a stand, which alex turned me on to...Thanks again, my friend. We will talk soon.

Nomad #1, (running 1.20.06) : Shuts down in extreme conditions (high heat, shock etc). When fast forwarding on low power - shuts down and freezes on restart - needs to be reset (see JB3 FAQ).

Nomad #2, (running 1.40.06): No known faults, so far (3 months in the field).

overheating in the hot TN/TX sun: don't keep it in the bag all zipped up, provide some shade
bad optical cables: i've killed two so far but i treat mine like crap.  the JB3 end never comes unplugged but the other end is exposed to the rest of my bag.  i think i am going to start using the little protectors now.   ;D.  I plan to leave both ends permanatly connected once i get my sbm1 rigged up properly.

How are you planning to go from SBM-1 to NJB3?  I am strugg-a-ling with this right now too.  Those 7-Pin to Mini-Toslink look pretty flimsy...

I would suggest using an optical mini that others have used (Radio Shack, Sound Proffesionals and others that can be found in the archive section) as to not break the connector on the inside of the JB3 as I and a few others have. When inserting the cable you want it to click or seat good but dont jam it. Hope that makes sense.

One problem that I've had, and have subsequently answered a number of times is when people have been transfering via USB for a while, and move to firewire for speed, and get the "Device is not connected" error.

I fixed this by going to creatives website and downloading the drivers (v 1.23.00 at minimum).  See this thread from the ever helpful Nick and Brian from when I had the problem:

Anybody know how to fix a flaky scroller wheel? Mine jumps all over the place when I try to move it up or down.

I got a can of stuff from Radio Shack ... Contact/Control Cleaner & Lubricant worked wonders. I opened up my Nomad Jukebox 3. The cleaner is under great pressure so don't spray directly. Spray in a cup first and get some q-tips. With a Q-tip addes a few drops sparingly with a few quick blasts for a dust blaster. Did that several times, turning and pushing the wheel. I didn't wait very long to dry. The can's instructions say wait five minutes. A few blasts of dust blaster (air can) and I waited about 30-60 seconds, closed up everything and it works like new.

Edit: welcome, and don't be a stranger. If you feel like introducing yourself, go ahead!

 I'm very new to the jb3 thing.  as for now I'm using USB.  I had the  v1.26 drivers and kept getting the " device is not connected error"  I got rid of the driver and went to 1.21 (I think, need to check) and it works great. again this is with usb not firewire.
