sfbp Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Very strange story here. I am looking for some of you old hands to explain it.I bought a used R91 about 6 months ago, actually for a family member, who didn't end up using it. It is a fine machine except that it doesn't do USB or MDLP.Anyhow, about 2 months ago, I noticed that the display was "flaky", sometimes "browning out" on me. The unit worked, the remote showed what was happening correctly but the display on lid was increasingly unreadable.I (shortly after) got an NF610 whose radio remote never ever worked and, trying to diagnose it, tried the radio in all the devices I had. As you know if you have seen one, the remote plug is strange and requires a specially shaped socket. Oddly enough the R91 has one. When I pushed the radio remote from the 610 into the R91 (it was a tight fit), all of a sudden the front-panel display started to work. The radio didn't. But I had fixed the problem.Any idea why?Puzzled in Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 A short circuit and the pins in the remote pushed the ones in the jack into the right position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 as you said tight fit , so maybe there was some corrosion on the pins in the socket , and the pressure of the other remote scraped it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
