Hi tech folk, went to my 777 today and noticed it's on weather off at the switch.

Is this an easy fix, is it arcing or if the switch fails its in the on position?

Many thanks

Ed

These switches usually have tendency to break at hinge post. If this happens it doesn't put pressure on leaves to turn off. There is a repair to fix by drilling out and putting a small pin in place of post. :-)

Another issue could be auto deck is in on position causing sleep mode to always be on. Are both your decks fully working. This is usually caused by bad belts.

Tape deck A isn't at best but looked at it and the PLAY button was pressed (My child no doubt) Just pressed stop and guess what!

I have no power.

Have to laugh

Cheers Ed
