Kamalsvad Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Greetings all. I am quite bleak with my Net MD it is a Sony Mz-N505. It wont record and erases disks unless I put in a disk that has the write protection enabled. I put it under the airport's xray because it was in my pockets and the airport people asked me to have it examined. I dont think that is what caused the error. I dont know is it possible that the recording head conked out. Is it dirty ? I am quite perturbed because i bought my MZ-n505 in january 2003. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to make it work ? Does anyone have a service manual I am quite handy with gadgets provided I have the right blueprints. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmeg Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I recently "repaired" a NetMD (N1) which did not record any more and said all discs are write protected. I added a little tape at the metallic frame, at a point where a small "tip" is, which detects if a disc is write protected. Now the player thinks that all discs are write-enabled and it works again. In this case I think the player was a little pressed so the mechanics is a little bit of its normal position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamalsvad Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 If I do that then It will erase the disk. You see when it is connected to the computer it "pretends" to record something. When I try playback ... there is no sound. If I disconnect from the pc then it erases the disk and calls it blank. The same happens when I do line in recording. It "pretends" but on playback there is nothing. I am already considering the IPod sony disappointed me here. I tried playing a friends disk in my machine and it played but when I stopped it ... the disk had been erased. I think there is a software problem that is internal. I am not too sure perhaps the memory is corrupted or something. There is a "Guest something or another" his post is just below mine. He has exactly the same problem.

tmeg Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Sounds as if your player is really defective, probably only Sony can repair this. (but at what price :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamalsvad Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 its such a disaster. I live in South Africa I imported it at great cost. We africans always get a raw deal. I am quite pissed off. But thanks for your help. I am definitely going to try and get it fixed I will find out if it worth it. Cheers.
