Hello! I am writing to you in a desperate state.

Hello! I am writing to you in a desperate state. I have an Olympus VN-5000 and have been using for interview recording for my research. It has worked fine but when I bought it, I did not realize that it did not have any connection to a computer. I found a solution however to use a line-in chord and record the recordings via audacity so I could make more room for more recordings. However, when I was clearing some of the already uploaded files on my recorder, instead of one file being deleted, the whole folder was. It all happened so fast and I'm not sure why it happened. I realize that this might be near to impossible, but is there anyway to access the built-in memory in the recorder (by opening it, etc) in order to retrieve those deleted files. I know your manual says it is not possible to retrieve files, but I really am in a desperate state, 45 interviews were deleted before I could upload them. Any help you have would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Try Google for VN 5000 manual, or link your device to your computer via USB cable, and click on your device, you should be able to see your items from there. Re install the file you wish to.!!

    Thanks for the reply. I have the manual and it doesn't say much. The device does not have a USB connection to the computer. I know how to retrieve them if it does... Thanks though.

My Olympus VN-3100 voice recorder has suddenly stopped working! When I switch it on it flashes CHK for a couple of minutes then says ERR

I had the same problem with my Olympus VN-5000. I found a solution, which appears to reformat the memory (ERR means memory error). Try to press the STOP and DISP/MENU buttons at the same time for about 2 seconds, and then the display should show "FOR". It will supposedly erase the whole memory, but will at least make the device usable again! I hope this solution works for your model.

Olympus VN-480 digtial recorder - can't get my files to play back

if the power is interupted or improperly unplugged from the computer, the files may be corrupted... try to play the files and while playing move them to another folder... this may get your files back... else you will need to clear the recorder by pressing stop and erase at the same time for about 3 seconds.
