Hi all,

I just read that this radio has/is discontinued, but I'd still like to
try and fix mine for sentinmental reasons. My problem is the common
Error 3 is coming up with both the A/C power and the new batteries.
The A/C was acting up for weeks (bad connection) and now doesn't work
at all. I have tried all of the usual fixes, such as checking the
springs/battery connections and the "main power" switch. I did NOT
replace the two AA batteries (figuring the display was still working
it was unnessary). Any ideas? Anyone ever have that A/C connection
repaired? If I could get that to work I would forgo the battery
problem.

Much thanks for any help!

You should remove the two AA batteries to let the microprocessor reset
itself. Leave them out for a few minutes, then reinstall them to see if
the Error-3 goes away. If this doesn't fix it, connect a wire (like a
straightened paper clip) across the two terminals of the AA battery
holder with the AA batteries out. This will remove any remaining voltage
in the circuits which could prevent a reset of the processor. Do these
tests with the three D batteries removed and the AC adapter
disconnected. Hope it works.
