ccshell Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Ive had my player since 1999 and its been great up until recently when its stopped reading discs. I have been in contact with Technics and even they are struggling to find a repairer for me. I am desperate to get this fixed. If its a common fault and something I can fix myself then please let me know, otherwise does anyone know to someone who would do the repair/service for me? Appreciate any help with this as i do not want to throw the deck away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njm Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi Did you ever get this sorted? I’ve had my MD player since early 2000. Worked fine over the years. Not used a great deal in recent years. went to use it a while back....I insert a disc....seconds later it fires the disk back at me. Says No1 F15 on the display. Im not an electrical person. I have opened it. I watch the disc get pulled in and immediately gets pushed back out. Hopefully it’s just a simple loading mechanism problem. I’ve tried my best to see if I can see anything but everything is so small and delicate along with the fact it’s a laser product. I live this unit. It’s too good to bin. cheers noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Work it a little bit, inserting and ejecting the disc. It might just be a little bit sticky with inaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgallen Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hi, I found this depends whether you have any clean air aerosol and want to take the top off. https://www.fixya.com/support/t598945-technics_sj_hd501_minidisc_player_will Given this was a working machine I’d expect something simple like dust or a hair (as we found on another thread) so I wouldn’t suggest pulling the machine about a lot.

BearBoy Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 According to the Service Manual that error means: Error - F15 Symptom - Interval till MD starts playing is too long Possible cause - Pickup home position sense switch (S8) is defective; check and replace if necessary The part number is apparently RSP1A023-A No idea if this is of any help? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
