Makita DAB fix

[Arti]

@Olican did you do a fix with a paper clip in the power socket of the radio when it wouldn't work with a battery in the back?

Anyway the radio won't work off batteries and av lost the fewkin powercable any assistance would be much appreciated

It’s stuff like this that makes it all worthwhile

The paper clip worked a treat, it was @Dansouthcoast84 that suggested it if memory serves me right. This is how I did it ;
Tried to gently insert the paperclip in as Dan described... nothing... tried manipulating said paperclip into several positions.. nothing..swore several times.. nothing..called the radio and said paperclip a pair of T***s.. nothing....took my hammer and tried to gently persuade the said pair of T***s to work together..
Nothing..
In walks my good lady wife
"What are you doing and why is that manky radio in the kitchen sink?"
I explained.
....wife removes the now mangled paperclip with a pair of tweezers, takes a fresh paper clip, gently inserts....boom , back to life . She sticks some electrical tape over and walks away smug
It's worked fine ever since
