    what computer is this, never in my life heard or Roberts. wow, are you not in USA ,Canada or UK?

    google tells me must I? is a
    DAB/FM WiFi Sound System with Internet Radio, Music Player and Last.fm
    A radio BOOM box, hand held
    and is nOT any kind of computer at all so post to radios ? but does have ethernet.

    try new batteries? or remove them for 1hr and put back fresh. if it has them ?
    the book says BBC over and over, so is UK only radio/?



    factory reset is on this page

    Yes I know. I followed a thread to here and posted my question before I realised it was computers! Thanks anyway :-) Yes I guess its a UK brand. Can't do the reset because the settings don't show on the blank screen...
    Thank you for trying.

    it needs repair, the screen is bad or the power supply to it failed.
    you have no parts to fix it or the skills no are parts sold things like this.
    unlike PCs it is not modular, making easy repairs.
    take it to a shop as the live person there that can touch it an fix it. we can not.

    what is it, why not start post and say what it is first. so we don;t have to guess or google for hours.
    it is not a PC but can connect. to web.
    it is 2009 made, so is great 11 yea r run. (amazing to me)"AS OLD AS this is TRUE"
    DAB/FM WiFi Sound System with Internet Radio, Music Player and Last.fm


    it is what us Yanks call a BOOM BOX. (CD+sound , am/fm,etc)
    when it it fails it needs to be repaired,
    I can not do my 50years of on the job electronics skills in a text box ever.
    but the PSU or the LCD is dead.

    first hit , on trouble. and it.https://www.manualslib.com/manual/147583...


    the next page states

    100-230 volts AC, 50Hz
    (use only supplied adaptor)

    so is the power pack dead, or wrong one , using the wrong power pack here is like 9/10 odds wrong.
    I label mine to never do that and not blow my radio to H3LL

    OMG the jack is marked, 12vdc at 1.2amps, wow , so measure it with any voltmeter.

    keep in mine, a power pack or any PSU can fail for
    Dead
    or WEAK (causing odd effects)
    or have tons of noise, on the DC line (bad caps ) in the pack or in the RADIO.
    this is tech talk, I can go on for 2 hours doing tests inside too but I flat refuse.

    The LCD display needs power to work, if power pack is good first.
    we check voltage on the LDC card for DC good power there,

Category moved to Roberts Radio, as per our Computer Guru Larry. Yes Larry, a very fine UK Company and some of the best iconic retro radios, known for being on a swivel base so you could get the best signal.

Return it to Roberts for repair. They are old school as far as after sales service goes.

I have a Roberts Dab stream 2. After a power cut screen is blank and no controls working. What to do?

DAB radio is more computer than radio and has lots of circuitry highly intolerant of voltage surges and spikes - things that often accompany a power outage or electrical storm.

I suggest you contact the manufacturer and ask if they have a service exchange service or if they have an approved repairer locally to you.

Roberts radio screen is on but blank white , radio works. Any suggestions? Many thanks

They usually go dark rather than white. On the back of the display board, there is a capacitor. Check if it is bulging or there is any discoloration on the board..

My Roberts. Radio has stuck on 'Smooth Now Tuning'. What can I do.

I am not aware of this term can you tell me the model number and a bit more explanation please.

You can try a system reset.
Hold the INFO button for two seconds.

Turn Tuning control until "Factory Reset" shows on display, then press and release it.

Push it and release again should send it into reset mode with all data (and problems) erased.

If this fails it would most likely need a service from Roberts.

I have a Dell 2007WFPb 20

If your LCD monitor displays your desktop fine as it boots up and then goes blank after a few seconds, but you can still faintly see your desktop then this may seem like a brightness issue but it's not. The picture displays very faintly, this is because the LCD backlighting isn't working properly. Which in turn is either because (most likely in cases like this) the inverter circuit has failed or the cold cathode tube has blown. If you're new to the electronics business and are not sure how to solder and connect circuits then this is the job for a qualified repair technician. So i suggest you head on down to your local PC store and have a technician take a look.

If you want to try it youself go here to order some spares.
If the monitor switches off and you can't see your desktop faintly then this may just be a power saving issue. Yo fix this check out my other tip here.

If your monitor is less than a year old then I suggest you take it back to where you bought it and have them send it in for repairs or swop it out with a new one. LCD monitors usually have at least a 1 year warranty sometimes it can even be up to 3 years if you register yours when you purchase it or if it's a really expensive screen.

If the monitor is a good 4-5 years old then it may not be worth fixing or may be too expensive. I suggest you invest in a newer widescreen option. LCD monitors have drastically come down in price over the years and you can easily get a wopping 23" for as little as $180.

Hello!
This blank display is a common control board problem. If the buttons beep when pressed, then the control board is getting adequate power. If the buttons beep.. and your oven light still turns on when the oven door is open.. this a text book control board failure.

I'm looking for a birthday present for my 8 year old grandson. ''Groove It'' sounds interesting. How do you play it? Is it popular? Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks, Dan Saxton

It's a hand held game that plays music and calls out hand movements, that become, in turn more complex.

My 9 year old and 5/12 year old boys love to play, and "groove" along to the music as they do. It is a great toy for long drives, and has lead to lots of laughter and fun interaction for our family. They howled when my husband showed them his cool moves! I would so much rather my boys take turns with Groove-it, root each other on to reach their individual best, than stare blankly at a gameboy.

No power

I have the same model. After a recent power outage, the display completely lit then went blank. Turnign on one of the elemetns would pwoer up the display (clock). turning off the element would turn OFF the display. I pulled out the stove and reseated the power plug. I also reset the 50a breaker in the basement for 5 mins. When I put everything back in place, it worked. I'm not sure if this is coincidence or not. I'm guessing it's short term and I'll see the problem again, but for now... I had sticker shock when I looked at the price of new repalcements. I don't expect problems with a 4 year old appliance.

Akai s6000 sampler unused for most its life. Just when we need it it fails on the third full day. On power up the display is blank and all led buttong thats 8 under the screen stay fully lit. Power supply...

Same problem with an Akai S5000.
Display gets darker because power supply outputs for the mainboard starts falling after start up.
Don't know if its the mainboard is causing the problem or is a problem of the power supply itself.
A S5000 service manual will be helpful.
Best regards
