I played text recorded on a Sony MZ-B10 with an external microphone on a Sony MZ-R30. After inserting the disc, the player made a strange crackling sound, following which the display stated “blank disk”. Since then I can no longer access the information on the disc. I tried to play it on several different MD-players – to no avail. I also tried a trick recommended by a colleague who told me to insert another, working disk, eject it, and then insert the broken one. Through this I hoped that the player may reconstruct the disk’s table of contents, and give us access to the recorded material again. Unfortunately, this didn’t work either. The MZ-R30, where the problem first occurred, is no longer working without external power supply after the incident, even if one inserts an brand new storage battery. This may hint at a short circuit. Any idea what I could still try to rescue the recorded information? Thanx for your help!
