I wonder if there is anyone out there who can help with a problem that has just arisen on my Beomaster 4400. The fault relates purely to the tuner section. All other inputs (phono, tape, etc) work just fine. When I select any of the tuner buttons the 2 red tuning lights and the strength meter no longer light up. There is a whining/whistling noise that appears to change pitch with the frequency on the tuning dial. When I press the presets in sequence I now get a sound more like the soundtrack of Close Encounters of the Third Kind! There is a complete absence of any radio station just a high (or low!) pitched whining.
Any ideas where I should be looking?
Thanks,
Jon
Have you checked your ariel ? Sounds to me like you have plugged the ariel out.
That was the first thing I checked. But as some of the lights are out it can't be that.
Still no luck ? Check the solder joints for the tuner piggyback boards.A little difficult to reach the innermost ones but it can be done.

OK thanks Martin. I will take a look. I just needed to know where to start looking. I couldn't see any obvious broken wires but didn't look any further into considering resoldering the connecting wires.
