There are several simple fixes for the ERROR 3 Message that
you can do yourself.
If that does not work, then consider a repair facility like
RadioLabs.Com to FIX the Sony ICf-2010.

I've got a Sony ICF-2010 on its way to me that needs some work. It has an
Error 3 code that displays intermittently and it won't play, but after about
half an hour it'll come on and plays fine...(according to the seller). It is
in great physical condition with box, manuals, etc.. Where would I send this
to get it checked out...Grove, CCrane, Sony itself (I've heard not). Any
suggestions will be appreciated. I'm in Oregon, but, can send it almost
anywhere in US if it's a reputable, reliable service who knows what they're
doing the first time 
Thanks.
RR
