Just got a Sony 2010 off eBay and when you turn it on, you can hear a hiss
in the background, but nothing works, except the clock is running, although
I can't set it. If I turn the volume up the hiss goes up, but none of the
buttons work, no matter which one I push nothing happens...none of the
direct tuning buttons, or the memory presents, scans , bands, nothing! I've
got another Sony 2010 that works perfectly so I know how to use the radio
and I've looked inside regarding the Error 3 message that some people have
reported on but that isn't it...something is truly amiss...any suggestions
will be much appreciated. Is there some kind of reset switch anywhere...I
forget??
Thank you.

Try removing all power sources from the unit, including the computer
batteries, for a few minutes. I think that amounted to "ctrl alt del" on
that little gem.

I once had my 2010 do this and it turned out that one of the buttons was
jammed down on one side. Nothing worked. I just happened to look at the
receiver with illumination coming from a different angle, and that's when I
noticed the cockeyed button. Wiggled it a little bit and it popped out from
what it had been stuck on (under?). It really wasn't noticeable under
*normal* lighting conditions.

Hope what ever is wrong with your 2010 is a *simple* fix. Eric KA6USJ

Take the screws off the back and hit it with an air compressor.

A few hours or overnight would be better, just to make sure everything
discharges. You could speed up the process by shorting (connecting) the
two 'AA' battery terminals with all the batteries out and the AC adapter
disconnected.

What would you recommend? Ingersoll-Rand?
