Do any of you know of a good forum where I can get help with my Sony discman? I tried google but it's cluttered horribly.
Here's my problem:
I've had a Sony Discam (F-411 I think) for about 4 years. Around the discman's 2nd or 3rd year, it had a problem reading a music cd i had burned. But it still worked with store-bought cd's. Near the discmans 4th year, it stopped reading any kind of cd. It says "no disc" anytime I put a cd in. It would go through phases where it would work. If I didn't use it for a week, it would work fine, but if I listened to it for more than 5 minutes and then turned it off, it would go into it's dis-functional phase for a week. I went through last school year with it doing that. At the end of the year, it stopped going through phases. now it always wont read any cd. i tried the cd player 3 months after being turned off (no batteries either) and it still gave me the "no disc" error (yes i put a cd in:D). I have tried store-bought cd's, burned cd's, black cd's, everything. the lens has never been subjected to overly dusty or dirty places, and the lens looks clean (from what i can tell). Could a lens cleaner kit help? Is the cd player just dead?
Thanks
