I purchased a "new in box" MD4 and it was obviously never used. However upon plugging it in the display read "error 02". I found a post on this site that described the various error codes and found the problem was that the head was not moving on the driver. After sitting unused for all these years it is no wonder. Electronics do not do well if they sit around unused. I got the head to finally move and read a disc but now I get disc error 80. Interestingly I can insert a Maxell mini disc head cleaner and it reads it right away...probably because it is not a re-recordable disc. My next step will be to use a contact cleaner to clean out the entire mechanism to free up any other loose components as the error code list indicates that the magnetic head did not drop into place. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to chime in. Many Thanks!
