MZ-N910 recording error

[valentinc]

Hello everyone !

 

Have been struggling with a MZ-N910 that reads discs perfectly, but is unable to record.

Symptoms are the following:

- in analog input mode, the recording starts but after 1min or so it throws REC ERR error;

- in netMD mode, the recording starts but progress remains stuck;

- spindle speed can be heard going constantly up and down, like a CD player struggling to read the disc;

 

After lubricating the spindle motor (watch oil), I managed to get a full disc recording when unit sat upside down.

However was unable to consistently reproduce this behavior.

Before lubricating the spindle motor, unit was also throwing a MEM OVER error which has disappeared now.

 

Checking the unit for stored errors, I found this (see picture attached). However after clearing the errors, they do not re-appear.
