Both the 500 and the 700 have a lot of internal connectors, between the
boards. Opening the receiver up, and disconnnecting and reconnecging the
various connectors may help, the contacts may not be making proper
contact, but jiggling them like this restores it. I recall one of them, I
can't remember if it wsa my 500 or my 700, the display wasn't displaying
(maybe some other problems) but working on the connectors restored things.

Turn on the radio and enter a frequency which will display with a lot of static noise but no signal on a.m..
do the same with f.m and you get an excellent signal.
As I said above I've noticed a clunking noise in the past when the radio was moved or turned accompanied by a loss of a.m. just as though some internal connection was lost .I'm not an electronnics man so that's why I'm seeking someone to fix this in UK .such a fine radio.My best IMO out of a whole lot of Sony products
