himd_user Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky191 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Dunno about the repairing side of it.But I would say having a 2nd unit is handy as you can use one machine while the other is used to transfer to and from disks and record etc. Or even just to charge the batteries etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 the recording block is foodges, this happened to my mz-r909. dropped it, and it would only record 13 minutes then it would just be disc accessing, and do nothing else. Get it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
