Blankdisc When Trying To Read?

[OCedHrt]

Yesterday, after using my N10 for a bit, I plugged it in to be charged. Later that day when I tried to use it, it couldn't read discs anymore. Would just report blankdisc.

I read the sticky but I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem. I took apart my MD just to check though and the ribbon seems fine to me. Will try to get my hands on another MD to test if my thing can record since I can't read what is recorded anyways.

From playing the disc with the MD open, I know that the laser is functional and the disc spins. Not sure if the magnetic head is working but mine doesn't move up and down like the N1 described in that thread. Maybe I can test the ribbon with a...voltmeter? (can't remember what it's called)

Note: When charging, I for the first time did a full charge not using the cradle, but by plugging my ac adapter into the external battery case to perform the charge. Reason for this is cuz I'm using an universal adapter and it is a bit loose when connected to the cradle and if I'm not careful I end up discharging my MD to the usb port. This may be the cause -> something got fried, but doesn't seem likely.

Anyways, I'm hoping someone here might have an idea as to what is wrong Maybe it just needs a recalibration? But dunno how to get into service menu for the MD ><

Thanks in advance for any help

Sorry, forgot to mention

I have tried a different disc though I'm not 100% sure if there is data on it. I know I've used it before but I don't know for sure if I had emptied it or not (no reason for me to do so though). I will try to borrow my friend's MD/disc to check.
