No Disc or Disc Icon Keeps Spinning

[gccradioscience]

I have a MZ-NF610, still looking for one on Ebay. The problem is that it does not read the discs and when you put one in the

disc spinning icon keeps on spinning on the disc player display after you put in a disc. The unit is useless right now. I cannot

find what the problem is. Also it would be hard to take a apart and put back together. I posted a topic about this and someone deleted it off the forum.

Please help me out. Thanks.

I get that happening when I put a disc copied in Hi-MD mode into a standard MD or NetMD device. Make sure you are only using the NetMD format and not Hi-MD on the disc. Also make sure you are not using the 1gb Sony discs in the unit as those discs are only Hi-MD compatible (your unit cannot read Hi-MD at all).

it sounds like the laser is either bad or dirty! try to clean the laser first.

Try to check/listen whether the laser head is moving or not. I had once a problem that a dust bunny had entered my RH1 and got stuck in the laser mount, exactly at the contact point between the frame for the laser head and the screw used to move it across the surface of the disc. Because it was some kind of fibers klump, it soon wiped the lubricant from the screw and the player had a hard time moving the head, until it was almost completely stuck. The symptoms were that the unit would spin the disc forever, trying to move the head unsuccessfully. Removing the dust bunny and re-lubricating the screw solved the problem.
