Got the dreaded 09 code.

Determined the problem was with my wireless router.

 First the BDP-1 wouldn't power down so I unplugged it then plugged it back in. Still 09, then restarted computer, still no go. So then I shut the BDP-1 off and rebooted the wireless router for the 3rd time until all the lights were green. Then I powered up the BDP-1 and reset password and Network settings, and I'm good to go.

09 error code
haven't had the BDP1 on for 2 weeks
turned on this cold cold morning and get the 09 error code
tried Buds idea ....unplugging the drives until after initialling is finished and during

Tried Mags idea rebooting router.....unplugged the power to the bdp1

Hi Robin

09 means it is not connecting to the motherboard.

Chris may have to comment on the cure.

I dont dear to turn the Bdp1 off , because of the 09 error . It is struggle to turn it back on.
Have to try 5-6 times sometimes to get it back into working condition .
Is it a software/firmware problem ?

Hi Guys,

The error 09 means that the microprocessor that turns the power supply on/off and controls the buttons/display on the front of the unit hasn't received any communication from the mainboard within two minutes of power being applied.  If you get error 09 you should turn the unit off, then back on and pay attention to your DAC.  If your DAC is receiving signal from the BDP before the error 09 message appears then its likely a loose cable inside your system.  The serial cable in a BDP-1 is a ten pin grey ribbon cable to runs from the front of the unit to the mainboard, just behind the RS232 port on the rear.  A BDP-2 uses a cable made of five individual wires (red, blue, green, black and brown; please keep in mind I'm colour blind so I may have those colours wrong), we have had one occasion that i can recall where one of the wires had  broken from the connector.

If the DAC isn't receiving lock/signal then either the BDP is trying to boot from another source (another drive), doesn't have enough power to POST or the BDP's internal CF card (Kingston or Apacer) is no longer functioning.  To determine which is the case, whether it be the drives/power or the cf card, unplug all the drives from the BDP and try powering it on.  If the error continues you will need to either follow the instructions list below, or if your unable to do so we can make arrangements for repair.

yikes......been so long that I've listened to a cd.....just tried my cd player it's not working as well
and you're right the dac is not seeing either the bdp-1 or my cd player
the dac is bda1......checked all cables .....everything appears okay   ???

[Robin1]

sorry Chris......cd player and bda1 are fine
will have a look inside bdp1

[Robin1]

I have the same problem....
I applied the steps in the list and I think I need a cable which seen on picture. Dac lock to the signal while it starts...
Shuld I request from you or Is there a name that is known on the market?

Hi Chris

I have the same problem. Came back after a 2 week holiday and turned on my BDP-1 got a error 9.
When initializing, my BDA-1 is locked. Opened up the BDP-1 and looked at the serial cable it wasn’t loose or anything amiss. Tried replacing the CR2032 battery as well and didn’t work.

Before the holidays I just updated to the latest firmware and it was still working fine.

Any suggestion of next steps to investigate?

Many thanks

Ive been having the same issue. Everything was fine then suddenly my Bdp-2 stopped reading the hard drive properly. Tried other hard drives. Checked connections inside including CF card and changed the watch battery. No dice.

 Looks fine with no hard drive  attached. BDA_3 locks on just fine. No error message. Starting with drive attached yields error sometimes. If I attach after boot it won’t read hard drives at all. Makes mechanical drives click in odd ways. SSD gives me nothing.

What gives?  Looks like I will be sending it in on Monday.

Perhaps a corrupted drive table? I've had that issue with a Salk Streamplayer II after a power outage (hard shutdown).
