Tiggy Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I used to love the idea of MDs; I have a stack sitting in my room, a nice MZ-N910 which I love and am very proud of. Till about a few months ago. I didn't realise it then, I just thought it was a one off thing, but now I am very sure that my NetMD is corrupting every MD it records on. I basically go into Sonicstage (Version 1.55, but I doubt that matters; even microphone recordings are corrupted.) and record anything. I'll finish, take the MD out, and put it back in; sure enough, the predictable "READ ERROR" appears. I'm angry, and worried at the same time. I've read about this in the forums; the infamus ribbon cable feeding the magnetic head snapping; however, most threads are saying that this doesn't affect the newer generation MZ NetMDs, namely mine, the MZ-N910. Now that I know this is common, I'm taken aback on my zealous love of MDs, but at the same time, releived that it's common and probably easily fixable. I just need confirmation that this also affects MZ-N910 NetMDs. Thank god I payed for that 5 year extended warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Welcome. :grin: Something is definitely wrong, and it doesn't seem like it's software related. No harm in getting it checked out, I figure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted May 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 My thoughts exactly; I'm having it checked under warranty tomorrow; I'm very annoyed at this though, very annoyed. The way I see it, this'll never be fixed properly, when Sony or whatever company repairs my MD, I suppose it'll probably snap again in a few months.

pureangst Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 You will know for sure if it's the ribbon cable problem if you open your MD man. At least that way you can rest in peace knowing you're not alone in your frustrations[?]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I've thought that; but it's fairly hard to see anything inside; it's okay though, I've sent the thing off on warranty for repairs already. I just hope it never happens again; but the way I see it, it's prone to break again. I lost $20 in minidiscs (AU, mind you) before I figured the thing was buggered.
