Sorry to say the unit has a short in it, You need to have it serviced to fix the problem.

theres a fuse inside on a circuit board on the left.remove the face of the radio there are18 screws up front and 2 in the back. it is a 1.6amp 250volt fuse which you can find at radio shack

Ensure the volume is up,try tuning on all frequencies and ensure you are on the right bandwidth. If you still don't get a signal then check your speakers to see if they aren't disconnected in anyway they might be faulty and need replacement or it might just be a wire that needs to be soldered properly.

Check thoroughly to see if the wires connecting the speakers are still intact.

Have you fitted two AA batteries in the main battery compartment?

Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

Many of these radios have memory backup batteries and when they become weak or dead the microprocessor becomes wacky.

The corrosion had broken the connection from the batteries and this needs to be repaired for it to work. Depending on what you want to spend it can be fixed. I do this kind of repair but cost depends mainly on postage and parts. If no parts are available then one would have to make one or adapt one from another radio. Battery contacts are pretty much the same.

If you use your radio at work it could be exposed to dirt and dust and more! Could just need a good cleaning, drywall dust is terrible on electronics!

Hi. There is likely an internal battery within the device that has run flat over time. Changing this should cure the problem.

Where is there a Fuse in this unit? I am having the same problem with mine.

could be few issues, as of cracked boards, if you dropped it few times, or short in output/ internal power distribution. must be open by tech and troubleshoot properly. Definitely, not a do it yourself job.
Sorry.

as it is a tough radio to take the knocks it probaly gets knocked around a bit- make sure the antenna is not loose! or damaged have you rotated it a bit too much and snapped the wire inside? try AM to prove it (if Fitted), AM doesntuse the external aerial
Good Luck!

I don't know why you need AM, but that's not the issue.
If you have FM and HEAR it ok, then everything is fine. You've hooked it up right.
Not being able to find AM, is in the new radio.
You need to look to see how to tune to AM.
Maybe the paperwork that came with it!
