Hello All,
I recently spent 3 months restoring a Beomaster 2400, lots of capacitors (Thanks Martin for the kit.) I had it all working today (I thought) and was listening to music from my CD player for 6 hours, and I know the radio works. I realized however the front panel for the touch sensitive area was not letting me change the volume up or down (the remote works). All other buttons worked with touch activation. So I took off the front panel to try and get the pins to align for the volume. I was having trouble getting them to either work at all or align for all of them. Then the last time I tried, when I switched on the power to the 2400, it came on without going into standby mode and it defaults to FM4. If I try switching to another input it stays at FM4. When I put on earbuds and turn it on to see if there is radio I hear a station for about a second and then it stops and I hear nothing but hiss up and down on FM4. The stereo lamp indicator flashes at first and then goes off. I have tried it several times with the same result, only FM4. I looked to see if I had bent anything that might be touching, I saw two resistors that were very close together, if not touching. Not sure if that is the cause. I did the no-load and 15 volt current adjustments. I was not able to do the FM voltage adjustment because the trimmers even when turned all the way counter clock-wise did not give me enough voltage.
Any ideas on what might be the issue would be appreciated.
