Hi there,

I have a DX-375 from the SHACK and the power button doesn't always work
(sometimes I have to press it 20 times to fire it up...).

Is there a resonable fix?

Thanks, Joern

The problem is that the power and sleep buttons are both attached to a bracket as thin as a piece of paper. The part that connects the power button to the bracket has probably broken. I contacted Radio Shack to get a replacement part, but they say that they can't help me. Yes, it's really irritating.

Probably the best thing to do, if the radio is in decent shape
otherwise, put it away without batteries and wait for a dead DX-375 or
whatever the Sangean model is called, to come up on Ebay and hope it's
not broken too.
