hello, I have a number of sony minidisc players that suddenly won't
play the track for no apparent reason. I've tried batteries and plug
in power with no difference. Powers up fine, shows spinning icon in
window, track number shows but I can't get the units to play the
disc. I've tried it in all positions, even upside down and sideways
but still no playing of disc
any ideas?

1) Try lens cleaner disc.
2) Now toss the whole shebang in the garbage 3) Get a free cell phone,
even they'll come with a MP3 player.

Minidisc is over. It's dead, finished, kaput. And I'm speaking as
someone who bought a MZ-1 when they first came out.


I own a Sharp S60 and a Sony NetMD. Both record wonderfully with a
stereo condenser mic, the Sony will load songs from a PC in about 4
minutes. Also has an FM tuner. Minidisc isn't dead for me. I also own
32 gig Ipod Touch. I use all three frequently.



Which reminds me. Presumably you got on ok dismantling the Touch a few
weeks ago ?

It was a video IPod a relative gave me before I bought the Touch. Those
had a common problem and they had a name for it "ink spot". The backlight
is a couple leds on the bottoms of a plastic diffuser that spreads the
light out evenly behind the LCD. I'm guessing it was dropped
because the former owner won't admit to it. It came apart nicely once I
looked up where the latches were, a thin pocket knife blade did nicely.
You can buy the replacement cheap enough along with the plastic
disassembly tool. I decided to buy the Touch instead of repairing the
video IPod and reassembled it. It works fine audio wise and the display
issue is only a nuisance not interfering at all with selecting songs and
other menu items.
