I bought a broken Sharp MD-MS702 for $15 shipped.
Any disc I put in was returning "TOC ERRORa" on the display.  I opened
it up and applied power to it and discovered the optical sled wasn't
moving.  It was in the outermost position.  So I disassembled it, spun
the tiny little sled motor until the sled was at the parked innermost
position, and hooked power up to it again.

Voila!  That fixed it!  I haven't tried it out completely since I don't
have a proper wall wart for it, but I played through a few tracks,
skipped through a whole disc, etc.  It seems to work fine.  I
hypothesize that the cause of the problem was that the worm gear had
jammed causing the sled to stay stuck in the outermost position.
