I have a BCD996XT Uniden police scanner turn it on and hear a low popping sound, nothing else.No lights. Opened it all wires connected PLEASE HELP.

SOURCE: no sound on sharp aquos LC32D6U

The problem is the silicone grease under the audio IC has melted and is shorting the audio circuit. To fix this, you'd have to clean the melted residue off the audio IC. It is a complicated job and I suggest calling your local Authorized Sharp service center to do this repair.

hi my uniden bc145xl has just lost sound it still scanns fine just no sound is there a fuse or somthing to replace because when it quite there was smoke coming out the ext. sp hole

SOURCE: uniden bc145xl police scanner NO SOUND

It sounds like you have smoked the audio amplifier. It is an 8 pin IC marked "IC2" on the circuit board where it is mounted. You may also be able to see "TBA820M" stamped on the case of the IC itself. Since you said that smoke was visible from the speaker jack, it will likely be obvious which component it is once you open the scanner.

Unfortunately this scanner has no internal or external fuses.

If this does not work, go to www.mods.dk, as they have a downloadable schematic and troubleshooting manual for this model. The site does require a free registration, but does not spam or sell your address. I have downloaded several manuals from them over the years, and all were extremely helpful.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

SOURCE: Why can't I hear anything on the police radio

this can be for a few reasons. Make sure they did not switch frequencies or that the police frequency is still programmed in. To make sure you know your local codes you can goto a website such as these two website 1, website 2, where they may list the frequency needed. and last but most likely not the case is they do have private frequencies now that are encrypted with Motorola technology and requires a 8-16 digit passcode to hear the transmission. so if your trying to tune into a metro drug unit, or local swat this is the case most of the time.
