DX380 help
 

Having recently pulled the old 380 out of the cupboard and blow the cob webs
off it has a problem.
With either fresh batteries or the 6v mains adaptor I keep getting the 'E'
error message on the display.
The clock/mem etc. is working OK but the radio is dead.
Has anyone had similar problems or any ideas.
Thanks

I'm sure you replaced the AA batteries too?

Hi Tracy
Yes all of the batteries ( 6 of them) have been replaced.
Cheers

Sorry Andre, I could have swore I read DX390 in your post. My bad.

This thread was about a 390, but it may apply. He was getting the E
aslo. It may have been the power jack at fault.

My thinking was that a 390 used 4d cells and 3 aa cells...I could
have been wrong but if I remember correctly the AA's can give that
problem when they are dead and that is with or without a power supply
connected.

Are you sure you have the batteries in right? The 4 AA's on your right all
point the + to the right and the 2AA's on your left both point the + to the
left. RM ~

Hi Rob
Yes I checked this first, I also checked the voltage on the batteries, all
ok.

Okay, thought maybe you pulled the same stunt I did. I automatically
(creature of habit) reversed the polarity on second row on each side then
sat there like a dummy wondering why this thing don't work. RM~
