My MZ-R35 is erasing discs

[peter_x]

Like the subject says, my R35 is erasing discs. If I record something, eject the disc, and put it back in, it shows blank disc (even if I put it on write-protect before putting it back in, so it seems it is being erased as soon as it is written).

Might a cleaning disc help?

Thanks.

I had problems like that with my old MZ-N510. I would let it sit there and record, and it'll just flash edit and end. I would try to play it back, and it would try to remember the tracks, but then flash blank disk.

Since I hear the disc spinning, I just think the writing is messed up.

I didn't think a lens cleaner would work, but I just tried it anyways, no dice.

For my new MZ-N510, I see a SAVING and/or flashes of EDIT, the TOC or end. Then a little sound telling me its done

Update: I recorded something on the disk with another MD. Edited it with the broken MD (changing the name, or tried to record). Press played, heard music.

Took out the battery, then got a blank disk when i turned it back on. weird.

sounds like it's a broken laser, it won't record no more...have to get a new one or send it for a repair.
