Having recently pulled the old 380 out of the cupboard and blow the cob webs
off it has a problem. With either fresh batteries or the 6v mains adaptor I keep getting the 'E' error message on the display. The clock/mem etc. is working OK but the radio is dead. Has anyone had similar problems or any ideas. Thanks -- Chris |

It may have been the power jack at fault. http://groups.google.ca/groups?hl=en...m%26 rnum%3D1 mike -- __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / / / /\ \/ /\ \/ /\ \/ / /_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ ..let the cat out to reply.. |

The 4 AA's on your right all point the + to the right and the 2AA's on your left both point the + to the left. RM ~ |

I automatically (creature of habit) reversed the polarity on second row on each side then sat there like a dummy wondering why this thing don't work. RM~ |
