Dropped MZ-NH1 still plays, no longer records. Repair?

Recommended Posts

So I was recording this gig with my band mates, all is well.. then CRASH. While on record, my guitarist dropped my favorite deck on the concrete. It still plays discs fine... Except...

When recording, it seems OK unless it goes to write. Then the write head goes crazy with a stuttering noise / vibration, like it can't position itself. It will continue this forever, or for 15 minutes then display RECERR, or until the battery is removed/drains completely.

Any suggestions on repairing this myself ? I'm assuming there's a seperate read/playback head, and a seperate write/recording head, otherwise both play & record would fail. Since only record is broken, maybe it's stuck and can't step properly? Or is the laser irrepairably broken?

Or, tips on sending it somewhere for repair? A new replacement is ~$300, so repair would have to be much cheaper than that.
