Hi there, first time back on the new forum. I have an issue with my GF9191, after playing for a short while the sound stops, the meter is still responding to the music but nothing from the speakers. My brother was using it a while back and I think he may have run it a bit loud, does it sound like it could be an overload/thermal shutdown kind of problem? Cheers for any advice Jeremy
Could be any number of things. Does it fade out slowly, or just quit without warning? I don't have any definitive advice, but I'd start with the phones jack and external speaker jacks. I'd also try hitting the record key a few times after the sound quits. Then work all switches to see if there's any change / improvement. Might just need a cleaning - might be something else. ...But switches and contacts are a logical place to start. I had a similar problem with my Samsung ST 329 that turned out to be dirty external speaker jacks.
Not sure how it cuts out, I only notice once it's not playing unfortunately. When I first got it I cleaned and lubed all the switches and sliders and it worked well, I'll open it up and have a look. Hopefully it's something simple but if not I think I'll have an electronics person look at as I quite enjoy using it.
My Lasonic TRC-931 did similar but I lost all sound, even with the tape deck. See my post if you've not already: http://stereo2go.org/forums/threads/trc-931-no-sound.391/
I finally opened it up for a look, I couldn't see anything suspicious (not that I have an experienced eye or anything). A wire (green one) from the tape deck was not connected so I put that back and I worked the record bar quite a few times then put it all back together and it's working again, not sure for how long but I had it playing for about 40 minutes with no trouble, more testing is in order Cheers for all the suggestions
Sounds like the green wire was a ground. Did the deck "hum" before you re-connected it? Hit that record switch with a couple of spritzes of Deoxit D5. Remember: All audio runs through that switch.
No noticeable hum that I remember. I'll get in there again and give it another clean, the D5 is hard to find where I am but I do have some D100L I can use
