Hello the place to have gone for all things minidisc would have been to direct you to Sony Insider but the site seems to have gone down over the last month & I suspect has now gone. Does anyone have any experience with them? They do seem to be in the right places though.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions to get it working? I’ve seen a place called SST (Sound Systems Technology) who say they repair MD decks. As the screen is blank and the mech is twitching, I do wonder if I’ve somehow damaged the ribbons or not inserted them correctly. In doing this, I did detach the ribbon wires from the mech as well as a few earth tags, but reattached them properly as they were.
No idea how this could’ve happened as I only changed the belt. But now I’ve put it back together the deck won’t switch on properly, the screen is blank, and the mechanism keeps making little jolts movements every few seconds. Received a new belt today from eBay and fitted it quite easily after removing the mechanism for the deck. I got the disc out by turning the deck upside down, which made the eject button work, as the video suggested. I saw a video on YouTube that suggested it would be the loader/eject belt being worn out.
Bought a Sony MDS-JE780 Net MD deck a few days ago and it worked fine when recording a disc then playing it back.
