Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone would have any suggestions.
I have the TEAC T-H300DAB Mk1 and I've just come back from holiday, turned the radio on only to find it displays 'DAB Initialize, Please Wait' all the time.

Nothing works, it wont turn off, sleep or switch to FM/AM.

Any ideas what I should do? Tried unplugging it and turning back on but it just does the same thing each time.

I've tried a factory reset but its still the same.

Thanks

Lakelord

thanks for the ideas!

I was after the repair approach more than the destroy it one, although it is getting pretty annoying now!

We had a similar issue with a 3 or 4 year old radio, eventually (after, powering it on and off, shaking it etc) I just gave up and bought another:

Tesco sell it too. Well built, nice (stereo) sound, much better reception than the previous one, bargain imo.

Thanks for your reply, mine is / was part of my hifi system though, dont really want to spend another couple of hundred quid if it just needs resetting or something.

This is similar to mine.

Ah ha, I didn't Google the spec but that's just made me think that we should get a proper radio rather than the little portable boxes. I think I have evolved into one of my technically dated parents, they say that they will ''send me an E'' by which they mean email and heard somewhere that the kids had shortened email to 'e', bless smile

I have a cheapo Matsui thing plugged in to the aux on my hi fi. Cost was £30.00 so may be an option. Do you have your tuner connected to an outside aerial?

Have you tried unplugging it at the mains for a couple of hours, then give it a try after plugging it back in?
