My S350 operated just fine for three years. Then it began turning itself off at random intervals. I began switching it back on but that was annoying. Just now it has become useless. It plays the selected station momentarily just after I switch it on. But then, almost instantly, it turns itself off. Suggestions? Specious
The solution to a nonworking Grundig S350 seems to be to junk it. My seller, Radio Shack, claimed to know of no one who could fix it nor had any solution. Your solution, to identify the overheating part and replace it is way beyond my expertise and beyond the people at my Radio Shack. I asked them. Hey, the S350 is made in China. We should always be sure to check where things are made before we buy them. Ex Grundig owner

It sounds like a component on the circuit board is heating up. Open the radio up and check if anything is overheating, if so replace the defective part.

S350 incorporates with micro computer chip (the component that
controls how the radio operates). If the radio has been subjected to
abnormal environmental conditions, the micro computer chip may
hang up and the following symptoms may appear
The display shows nothing and the radio cannot be turned on by
pressing POWER & SLEEP button.
The display shows random characters or does not work properly
although the radio can receive stations normally.
In these cases, you might need to reset the radio. To reset the
S350, unplug the external adaptor (if one is being used) and
remove the batteries from the battery compartment. Insert a
pointed object, such as straightened paper clip, into the RESET hole
on the right, front side of the radio and gently press and release the
button inside the hole. Then plug in the AC adaptor or reinstall the
batteries
OK.

I can't shut the sleep timer off, when I toggle down the power sleep switch
there is no off symbol.
Ditto. The red start switch turns the radio on for about one second, then the radio shuts down and the battery status symbol flashes with no status bars in the symbol. The radio works in AM only. No FM.
