Hello All, I'm hoping someone can help as I've recently powered up my Tascam MD350 and hit a stumbling block. The machine appears to function with playback, skipping tracks and reading discs. It even records and edits titles. The problem is when it comes to any kind of TOC modification or deleting of tracks. I use the regular and standard procedure for deleting tracks or discs and the display feedbacks all the right information. It leads you into a false sense of security it's so believable, however it doesn't delete the disc or the track requested. Interestingly enough, I cannot seem to program play or move the order of the contents too. I've never experienced this before and hoping someone else has and provide some help. The protection tap isn't the problem, before anyone states the seemingly obvious. It's something related to TOC creation/editing. Using the front panel controls, i go through all the steps required and confirming by saying "yes". It will say completed, the TOC indicator will be on, but the contents hasn't changed one bit. I thought ejection and I reinserting a disc following the edits might "wake it up", but this has no effect. Another interesting thing is that it does allow me to split tracks, but again if i want to erase or move tracks, it doesn't appear to work (despite the display telling me it's performed the requested actions). I'd genuinely appreciate any help or insight to resolve this.

I have a Sony MZ-N707 which hasn't been used for quite a number of years. In fact it had very little usage from new before it was consigned to a cupboard for storage (yes, the battery was removed beforehand - I've been caught by leaky cells before!) as my job changed and was no longer travelling for business. Unfortunately it is now dead, not working when powered by any of the internal battery, external charger, charger stand or USB cable. It doesn't try to spin-up if I go to play a disc. Well, it isn't completely dead - the LCD display (either internal or on the remote control) at first glance appears to remain blank but it does actually show all characters and segments at the same time in a very dim light grey for a few seconds, before going off. So something is happening internally but not much. Maybe the display is enabled but receives no data to display. Before I breakout the oscilloscope and service manual to explore the inner workings, is this a known fault mode that is easily fixed or is it likely to be beyond redemption? I hope that it proves to be repairable as it is in immaculate condition, comes with all the accessories, multilingual manuals and original box and it would be a shame not to be able to save it. Hoping for some positive responses from contributors to this forum. Thanks in anticipation.
