Re: Philips N2204 - Pristine but Not Playing
Thanks for your kind advice David.
Armed with multimeter I have done what you suggested.
With batteries removed the resistance across the battery terminals is high.
Like getting on for 0.5 Mega-Ohm.
When I engage the play or rewind switch then it immediately drops to nothing.
This I find a bit confusing with my limited electronic knowledge based on school physics but I presume that if the resistance of the circuit effectively drops to nothing then the batteries will discharge at a high rate and get warm, as is evidenced here.
Anything else worth an investigate at this point ?
Many Thanks,
Gavin
