JeffS Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Greetings, I recently pulled my R50 out of the closet after a year, and tried to make a recording. The sound came through (while monitoring with headphones) and I saw the disk filling up at the top of the LCD. Afterwards, it saved the data, and updated the TOC. As soon as I hit Play, it came back and said BLANKDISC HELP!!! Is there an easy way to fix this? Is it something I can tweak in service mode? (haven't tried that, but I'm willing to try anything.) I'm almost prepared to buy a new 510ck as a replacement, because I wouldn't mind upgrading to NetMD, but this is an amazing unit, and I hate to lose it. Besides, nothing can make recordings like the R50. As a side note, (and I'll post seperately if I should) will the R50 remote work in the 510? my understanding is that in the US it doesn't come with a remote.... Thanks for any help. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadesatusu Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 hi..the same thing just happened to my R700 a few days ago!!! have u found out whats wrong yet??? help me too!!! SaDeS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffS Posted March 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Haven't gotten any feedback from my post. From searching through the forums though, I think it might be a bad laser write head. Not cheap to fix/replace. I haven't had a chance to get a hold of Sony, and find out where the nearest place to have it looked at is though. I hate to lose the recorder, because it rocks for live stuff. good luck with our 700 -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
