daibhead Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) HiSorry if this has been covered, I've done a search but come up with nothing.I have a Sony MZ-N1 for three years and over the past few months, when recording, the unit makes a strange and worrying mechanical noise, like clicking but not quite.On listening to the recordings, silences appear where the mechanical noises occurred.What can I do? The problem occurs less when I hold the recorder vertical but this is not the real solution.I am in Ireland and may have problems accessing a competent repair person.Your help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

You maybe ruin its calibration. Sorry for bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daibhead Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Does anyone know of a repair service for portable MDs, preferably in Ireland but the UK is next best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsnkocic Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Does anyone know of a repair service for portable MDs, preferably in Ireland but the UK is next best?I supose that the reparing of your Md will be very expensive because the electromagnetic head is not sell seperately , but it comes together with whole laser unit. Suggesting to buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
