Minidisc walkman issue

claret.badger - 2013-05-06 08:34

Hi chaps

 

just bought a cheapy player from ebay as a beater

 

and long story short - I put one of the discs the seller supplied into the unit - now the unit will not physically eject the disc

 

the disc looked a little shonky when I put it in - so I think maybe it is physically stuck - ie it doesn't present itself properly when you open the device

 

the unit is a SONY RZ M70 (don't ask)

 

anyway - if i can't get it out -any tips on how to fish it out without getting a crowbar out?

 

 

do I have a case for asking for  a refund - seeing as both player and disc are now as useful as a bookend?

 

only 20 bucks - but principle an all that

Have you tried gently banging the unit against the palm of your hand whilst attempting to eject the disc? Sounds mad I know but it might afford enough movement to initiate disc movement...

 

As for the potential refund, because you used the disc the seller supplied you may have a case. I'd suggest making sure you mention this was the only disc you tried (meaning your discs cannot be blamed, assuming that's what happened!)

I tried it in the car at the post office after I picked it up
