Hi - I have an old-but-very-good-condition SOny CFD-44 rado/CD/Casstte
player - been reliable for many years... Extremely well made unit - do
NOT want to scrap it unless forced

Recently, every so often it won't stay turned-on - when it's off, you
press the power button and the red power LED comes on for maybe 0.5
seconds - a very small "pop" from the loudspeakers, and it then turns
off - normally, a light press on the power button and it stays on fine -
the power button is a momentary-press push-button, not a latching
switch, so its not that.

When its fine (90% of the time) it's an excellend radio cassette...

Bit puzzled as to where to go next...

Thanks

sounds like a cap reforming..

Nope. Bad connection somewhere. Solder connection, problem with a
connector,
etc.

Sorry for multiple postings. Problem with new server.
