It's probably the micro switch not detecting the MiniDisc:

Hello,

I've bought a goodlooking second-hand mds-501. The minidisk has one
problem. When starting for the first time the unit won't accept the disc.
The disc starts turning but the laserunit does not move.
I've to place it vertical on the side of the powerbutton. When he
recognices it I can place it horizontal again. After playing or recording
the first minidisk the problem seems to be over. I can play or record for
hours without a problem but the next day the problem is back.
Problems with a switch?? Heath problem. (when the unit is warm after a
while it works perfectly )
Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance. Yde

Thanks for your reply. But the minidisc is detected. The disc starts
spinning but the laser doesn't move a litlle, what he does when succeeding
reading the TOC.
Only when the machine is cold he refuges to read the disc. Later on it works
perfectly.
I've treated the switch beside the laserunit with kontaktspray. I've cleaned
the laser. But nothing works. The only thing I can think of is that the
laser has not got the right temperature at the start.
More suggestions?

Thanks
