MD Player / Recorder will not record

[Butch_vendor]

My MZ-R91 portable player has stopped recording recently, it seems to go through all the motions fine including TOC edit, but when you try and play the disc back the player reports the disc as a blank disc. Looking insidet he player I can see evidence of dust and a bit of fluff around the heads. Could this be the casue of my problems?

If this could be th problem whats the best way to clean the heads / lens of a minidsic, I've seen that there are special cleaning discs available but these seem rather expensive, so is it possible t o do it manually with say a cotton bud and some solvent cleaner like Isopropryl alcohol.

The playback is working fine still.

Thanks

there are very tiny vacuums for computer equipment at places like PC depot , and Comp USA , low power so as not to damage , but rather just clean, a Q tip very carefully gather the dust without actually touching the heads ( then MD head cleaner aferwards, wet type)

if that doesnt work you have a record head cable problem .
