Mz-e700 Disc Error

[D-EJ915]

(copied from the t-board)

Hey guys, I've tried cleaning the lens twice, and just popped it open and wiped the lens off...and to no avail, my MZ-E700 doesn't play discs anymore.

Have any suggestions?

I'm thinking of taking it to a repair center, although that'd cost a fortune (although it's the same as the E900)...

I really do love my E700, it just started acting sporatic in december (while in germany) and then quit on me while I was still over there. It started by just not reading my fuji discs, and still reading my sony and axia ones....then just the axia ones, then none at all.

If it means anything I've tried it with the AA attachment and the internal battery and it's the same both times.

It won't help...but here's a pic of the inside:

Hi,

I believe that the inside of your Sony MiniDisc MZ-E700 player was dusty and losses oil?

You watch a motor of the pivot-gear aluminum with a left written "LCX-4E", but without plump for pivot-gear?

He advises to use an MiniDisc lens-optical cleaning (not head cleaning).

The colour of your Sony MZ-E700 is orange, but orange isn't existed in market japanese?

Attention, members

the things that he did to his player already ruin it

don't ever try to clean or wipe the len inside the player

or, u'll have to pay for a new len

or, a new player

I used the Maxell MD-CL Dry-Type Lens cleaner twice, then at the recommendation of many users, I wiped the lens off with a cotton swab.

I'm going to take it to a sony center eventually (when I get around to it, probably less than a month) since there's nothing I can do about it. Note that the player was "dead" since the end of December. Just in case you thought tony was correct...

In a way, he is correct, you should never touch the lens with anything besides a cotton-swab (and you should let the unit dry afterwards) because ... just because... but the cotton swab won't hurt it.

no, sorry

not even cotton swab can do it

yes, u may try to clean it, but only with that sort of md cleaner disc

u can't even that kind of air brush(the sort that use on camera to blow away the dust, well I don't know how to say that in english)

as the inside of the player(well, actually is the lens part) is very fragile
