    Default Sangean Radio PR-D3L problems

    I hope this post is in the right spot? Anyway I have a Sangean digital radio that wont work through the speakers,headphones are OK it sounds excellent and the LCD screen is playing up from what I can gather problems with the screen is a common occurrence,I cant find any fixes for it by googleing so I'm wondering if anyone here has had this same problem and knows how to fix it? I cant find anything obvious like burn marks leaky caps cracks in the pcb boards ect...

    The PR-D3L has outstanding long distance AM performance, but unfortunately early models were plagued with display problems. I have a 9 year old model that I gave up on trying to fix (it's now in the workshop running on mains power). I still was not put off on buying a replacement (they seem to have fixed the LCD issue). $150 from DSE is not cheap but at least I can listen to Sydney radio up to 300 kms away (even better at night). I did price a replacement PCB from Sangean but it was more than two thirds the cost of a new unit.
