My Kaito- KA-1103 Died
My 1103 quit working a couple days ago as I was changing out batteries. I
don't know if the radio accidently was turned on while changing the batteries. I hit the reset button but nothing happened. Does anyone know if this radio is repairable? If it is, please let me know where. I really enjoyed listen to this radio. TIA -- Cant Git Rite |

Try taking the batterries OUT and then putting them IN after 10 min. or so.
Make sure you get the polarities correct, and hopefully the batteries are OK. Sometimes a new one is a dud. K35454. "Cant Git Rite" wrote in message . 97.136...

I seem to recall a suggestion that the reset is only effective if you leave
the unit unpowered for several hours until all the components have discharged--have you tried that? Jim "Cant Git Rite" wrote in message . 97.136...

Has it got a reset thingy,or push buttons? Remove the batteries and push
all the buttons about three or four times,operate whatever else that might be on the radio,knobs and such like,leave the batteries out for a day or so.I don't know if that will help,but it might.Don't mix older batteries with new ones.Use new batteries from the same package they may come packaged in. cuhulin |

TIA -- Cant Git Rite You can usually speed up the reset process by removing the batteries and connecting a jumper (shorting) wire between the positive and negative battery terminals of the receiver. You should turn the receiver on after the jumper is connected. This will discharge the capacitors that keep the memory alive. It works for most portables. If the radio has seperate batteries for the controller chip (CPU), like the Sony-2010 has, you should short those terminals too. |
