    Radio, no stations, quiet static sound

    Hi,
    I am repairing a DeWalt DC011 radio. I found that the secondary coil of the transformer had gone open circuit and the amplifier ic had shorted. I have replaced both but I can’t tune it in to a station and the static is very quiet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

          Sounds like there is an IF amp or something dead like the 455.

              I think the OP amp might be dead. I used diode mode from the bottom left corner to every other pin and the two sides didn’t measure the same.

                  If you get zero radio station even with strong signals nearby, I think there something more wrong than an op amp.

                      Onkyo TX-NR609 Sound only on USB/Internet Radio/DLNA Input
                      by Sushi1808
                      Hi everyone!

                      I turn to you in hope someone could point me in the right direction since I lack knowledge and experience in diagnosis of audio equipment. (My experience is in computer chip level repairs.)

                      I bought an Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver which initially produced no sound on speakers/headphones, there was no delayed relay click, speaker matrix icon didn't show up, USB/NET stuck in "Now initializing", instead of DSP/1st NET firmware version there were ?????????...

                      There was flux residue around the D830K013BZKB4 DSP chip (Q3001) on the HDMI...

                      what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                      by ChaosLegionnaire
                      so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                      i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                      clock radio / radio lifespan?
                      by shelby5041
                      hi
                      ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

                      my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

                      since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

                      the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

                      it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...

                      Vintage SONY Digital Clock Radio ICF-C12W no audio
                      by UserXP
                      Dear all,

                      I have this old radio clock by Sony from the early 80s, I guess. The clock display works, but is dim, the function board appears to be OK - but the radio unit shows no signs of life. It doesn't produce a single noise, crack or anything from either FM or AM band. It's like it doesn't even power up.
                      i opened the radio and it is full of some TRACON gray capacitors. They only have their negative strip printed, voltage and capacitace markings - no series, no temperature marking, nothing else.
                      My question is, do you know of this brand of capacitors and how bad are...

                      Alba CBB16 replacement switches
                      by ezenia
                      Hello,

                      I've been given an Alba CBB16 radio to look at. The issue was no sound from either speakers when switching to the radio. They'd just be some buzzing/static. I did some troubleshooting and found that if I mess with the switch in certain ways, the sound cuts in and out on the right channel speaker. It'll go from quiet with some static/buzzing to really loud and clear depending on how the switch is moved. This told me that the radio at least has an issue with this switch.

                      The switch appears to be broken on the inside causing a poor connection. I tried cleaning it...
