FM radio tune with fm antenna on a305-s6857

Hi Joe, beyond a possible failure in the tuning stage of radio stations, do you have the corresponding antennas for each band (AM-FM) installed?
If you are away from FM stations, you should put an outdoor antenna
Comment, if you manage to solve
Regards Franco Dosil

Hola Joe, mas all? de una posible falla en la etapa de sintonia de estaciones de radio, tienes instaladas las antenas correspondientes a cada banda (AM-FM)?
Si estas alejado de las estaciones de FM, tendr?as que poner una antena exterior
Comenta, si logras resolver
Saludos Franco Dosil

Hi Arthur, unfortunately you can't as the wired headset acts as an antenna!

Since the FM radio uses the provided wired stereo headset as its antenna, before opening the application, connect the headset to your phone's the audio jack.
9.3.1 Opening the FM Radio
1. On the Home screen, touch
2. The first time you open FM radio, touch Auto tuning, which automatically scans for
available FM channels, saves them as presets, and plays the first FM channel
found.

The most common problem for no FM is the failure of component F1 IF transformer. One of the windings on the transformer opens, so you have either no input, or a very low level input to the FM mixer. You need to obtain a copy of the Satellit 700 service manual, and then find F1 in the schematics. You can check the windings with a simple ohm meter to verify if one of the windings is open or not.
If F1 is defective, and I have seen many 700's with this fault, you need to replace it with an adjustable 10.7 MHz IF Transformer in a 7mm can configuration.
I found a replacement 7 mm 10.7 MHz IF Transformer at Talon Electronics. Their part number for it is IND2134, and it costs a whopping $0.80. Here is a link:

U got a Japanese version radio tuner!
The simpliest one that i did for that problem is BUY a locally made TUNER or u could buy a mini frquency converter that u could just plug in into ur ANTENNA socket and 12v power! If it is available in ur area!
They sure work!

The tuning module within the radio is getween the base circuit card and the display. A shot of tuner cleaner into one of the ports will usually bring back the FM performace (I just got done diong my own). Also, it goes without saying that you need to make sure your radio still has its antenna wire and that the vacuum didn't eat it. If this is beyond your skill level, find a computer geek (there are few radio geeks any more). Commercial repair would cost more than the value of the radio.

unfortunately, the voice recorder works only as voice recorder, it cannot play FM and record it at the same time. though you can play fm radio from another device and record it using your SanDisk mp3 player.

To transfer your recordings from your mp3 player, connect your device to your PC.

Open "My computer" from your PC and you'll there "your Sansa Player"

Double-click on "your Sansa Player", then open the "Music" folder, then, open "Recordings" folder.

You'll find all your recordings on that folder.

if you can pick up am but not fm, the tuner in the radio is bad.

My laptop is Toshiba M300 and I use FM Tuner Utility under NXP FM Tuner in all programs.
