Re the non-functioning Aiwa AM-F5:
I tried running it on the charger the day it died--no response--no LED, no
battery indicator, nothing. Usually run it from the charger when I use it at
home or work, plugged into good old AC.
Cigarette lighter and DC adapter still work--tried my portable CD player and
it worked just fine.
Plugged in the dry cell pack--nothing.
Of course this 'disaster' happened the 2nd day of my 10 day trip :(. Every
day I tried putting it on the AC charger in hotel rooms with no results :(.
Got home, same thing, which is when, of course, I turned to the list. I
hadn't attempted anything else with the unit for a few days. After reading
your suggestions, I decided to try it on the charger again. Lo and behold,
RESULTS!! The little battery indicator is on, the NO DISK and COVER OPEN
LEDs were there. I have no clue. Could using the cigarette adapter (not one,
I must add, one designed for use with the Aiwa---I've used it before in the
car, but never for so long a time) have somehow overcharged the battery and
it took this time to discharge down? Or is this supposition a violation of
laws of physics and batteries? ;} I choose to believe that the collective
psychic energies of the list empowered my poor old unit ;-}. Anyway, it's
charging up now, and I will check it out when fully charged. And I promise
not to use it on the cigarette adapter again.
I also apologize for the bad temper of my request (ok, demand) for help.
Like most of us, I get testy when ignored. Thanks again for the advice.
