Guest Anonymous Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Up to recently my Sony MZ-G750 Mindisc Recorder has worked fine. I have not used it for a while. When i tried to use it the other day it did not work. Whenever i put a disc, and when it finally switches on, TRACK 001 is displayed no matter how many songs on the disc. None of the buttons work with a minidisc in. I cannot select track or change options. When there is no mindisc in it works fine and the buttons respond and i can change menu options. i have tried operating with different batteries/discs/ac adapter but it makes no difference as well as following all instructions in the manual. Any ideas of what is wrong with it? Any idea of cost/ is it worth getting it repaired? It is out of warrenty too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 you might as well take it to the shop to be repaired, at most it sahould cost less than quarter of the price of buying a new one. Its amazing how few people these days get stuffrepaired...it's very wasteful and expensive to just buy something new everytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Just to say after manual dissambley the eject mechanism has now been fixed and teh minidisc powers straight on and the remote works fine. Now when the minidisc powers on with a disc in, it displays DISC ERR or NO DISC. Any ideas of the problem/price? Better than it was anyway.........

sadesatusu Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 but wouldnt it be pretty expensive to fix most problems that occur with minidisc players?? I have a MZ-R700 too and a few months ago it stopped recording...i guess the write heads dying out or whatever..i can only play discs on it now. do I have any other options other than replacing the head to fix this? ..that would be pretty expensive wouldnt it?? a head cleaning disc wouldnt work would it?

Cheese Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 you might as well try the head cleaner, but i think these have littlke effect in majority of cases, you can say stuff is hard/expensive to repair but if you source parts yourself then have local shop fit them (if you cant yourself) this is very cheap and i've done it with cd player etc, it costs very little for manufacture these parts and sony servioce centres charge so much, dont even have one within 50 miles of here anyway, but it is not expensive as you think if you are prepared to try, guaranteed there is a cheap replacement recording head out there, just go find it!"

Guest Anonymous Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I have tried a disc cleaner, but to no avail. I shall try to get it fixed as a service centre is not too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 make sure you get a quote and find out what's wrong before they fix it and charge you, if you decide it's too expensive a private reparier may be able to do the work for less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
