Anyone know how to get dust off the inside of the display screen? I don't
see an easy way to get at it.

My display is fine, but to clear out the displays on my Grundig Satellit
500 and 700s, I had to take it apart, and remove the electronics, then
clean the plastic. COme to think of it, I might have done that with the
400 too.

I have opened the 400, I dont' think there was any difficulty getting to
the display. The buttons will be loose if you remove the electronics, so
be careful not to lose them. And take a photo before you start, so you
know which order they go back in.


Anyone have it complain about battery problems and not work when not
connected to AC when all six AA cells check good?

I had some 2500mAh nimHs that I used with my YB400, and they were awful.
They just didnt' hold a charge, and the radio didn't operate unless the
batteries supplied enough voltage. So watch that in case you weren't
using alkaline batteries. I never used it enough with alkalines to see if
there was a similar problem, but it is always possible the radio is fussy
about battery voltage, so they might "appear" to be okay but not enough
voltage for the radio.
