And of course replace all the batteries first.

Later also the figures on the display disaperared.

Have you replaced the two AA computer batteries? I have two 2001's and they
get weird when the AA's get low. RM~


Yes, it was the first thing I tried.

Thank you, for your reaction.
1/ We talk about the European (Netherlands) ICF 2001, bought in 1983 of
84.

2/ I will try the reset procedure removing the back-up battery's. There
is no reset button.

3/ If this is not working it 's over and out and will use my dear
little ICF SW100 for the time being.

OK, but are they also in central or east Netherlands ?

Always use new fresh (however many batteries the radio uses) batteries
from the same package they came in.Some electronic devices are finiky
about things like that.

Also try replacing all of the batteries. That is a fine receiver, lets
hope you can get it back to life.

2001D = 2010

Looks pretty good, but:

"Sorry bud, we're outta stock!"

BTW - does it do SSB?

As someone said here, that's too fine a unit to just give up on.
Those progressive symptoms suggest an internal power supply
problem that a technician with the service manual might repair.
Corrosion on the main board, and cleaning it up, may be
productive too.

Although they can fail (for a number of reasons) of course,
diodes, transistors and IC's, if not overheated, and not used
outside their electrical parameters (overvoltage, static etc,),
have indefinate lives. LCDs, due to their organic materials, do
wear out eventually (years and years) , but your unit's symptoms
indicate a total unit power loss. Resistors also rarely fail if
not overheated. Electrolytic capacitors are the most common
problem as some dry up or leak. .Good luck.

Flowers for some John and H. Dziardziel !!!

After 24 hours without back-up battery's and not connected to the 4,5 V
trafo (the reset theory John S. mentioned).

I put back the 2 back-up battery's, connected the 4,5 V trafo and ...
oh wonder, the display gave a clear view. The commands via the push
buttons were follwed and I could listen to my favorite far-away
shortwave broadcasting. Also FM senders are working. However, not all
the functions like scanning are working, sometimes it is fading away
and display disapears. Some minutes later it comes back. Now it is
working longer time.

So I think time comes to open the radio and clean inside as H.D
suggests.

Does anybody know a www-site where I can find drawings of te inside ? I
have bad experience with Sony as it goes about supply information about
parts numbers and drawings.
