Sony ICF-C1T: Buttons not reacting even after change of the battery

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 22:37:07 -0700

The display was there but the buttons were not working. I have unplugged, changed the battery but still nothing. It shows 1. 1. then 2103, then 0:00 and remains blinking. The buttons do not react.

Sony ICF-C1T: ICF-C1 Clock runs fast

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 21:01:23 -0700

Hi everyone - my ICF-C1 clock radio runs fast, gaining about 1 minute and 20 seconds every month. I cannot locate a schematic for this clock radio, so I am unsure if I can modify an RC/crystal circuit to adjust the timing or whether this uses the 60hz mains frequency as a reference. Has anyone had any luck in locating a schematic diagram or in replacing a resistor or capacitor to have more accurate time? Technician with 30 years experience here, just looking for a diagram or helpful advice.

Thanks,

Rick

Sony ICF-C1T: 12:00 AM keeps flickering after battery drained and replaced

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 04:48:49 -0700

My alarm was showing low battery and it went dead for a couple of days. After I have replaced the batteries (tried many of them) it came back to life (radio works fine) but neither the clock or the alarm work. Whenever I plug it into the wall it starts flickering 12:00 AM and doesn't give me the options to set the time. Can anyone please help?

Thank you!

Oregon Scientific RM329PU: How do I disassemble the Oregon Scientific RM329PU (setting time zone)

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:31:26 -0700

There are no physical buttons to set the time zone for the radio-controlled clock. As a result, the clock automatically sets itself to Germany's time zone (since it receives the DCF77 time signal from Frankfurt). While I can manually adjust the time, I would appreciate finding a way to set the time zone.

I find it hard to believe this product was designed exclusively for the German time zone. I suspect this function can be adjusted directly through the electronic board, but I'm hesitant to disassemble the clock. There are only two visible screws in the battery unit, and removing them hasn't made any difference. Are all the parts clipped or glued together? Any suggestions on how to open it or adjust the time zone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ever since Daylight Savings Time took effect 3/12/23, I have been unable to adjust my clock radio to the correct time. I am in Eastern US Time zone. I have it set at "2" for that time zone and it has the time two hours earlier than it should be. This product is not very user friendly. Can you help me?
