i have a mt888 which had the same problem just recently (now it stopped working since it forgot to unlock the drive after writing the TOC and i can't open it anymore) and i got so pissed off that i just let it run for some minutes doing those strange noises trying to read the TOC... eventually it began to work again. i don't know if i was just lucky but you might as well try it... i also switched MDs in between and let it chew on the other one for some minutes. it's not a solution really, but you can try.

Hi everyone, i hope somebody is able to help me - as the topic already points out i recorded a MD with my Sharp (which i love - i don't want to get another player... this one is perfect for me!) and the device somehow "forgot" that it locked the drive when the TOC was altered - so now i can't open my MD anymore with the stupid disc stuck in there. of course i switched my recorder on and off and took the battery out. i have tried to change the TOC again so that maybe the device remembers to unlock the drive afterwards. however none of my attempts have been awarded with success. i'm desperate - does anybody know how to trick the drive into opening again? or should i just get and buy a really small screwdriver? *sigh* note: the MD-MT888 is labeled MD-MT770 outside Europe.
