Hello King Of Tweaks:

Please help!

I had a dead battery. Revived same. Now for the first time ever… “DOS”.

I don’t even get static when inserting / removing the headphones. Nothing!

Will your fix remedy this?

Please send details.
Thanks!
John

I have an Insignia NS HD-01 firmware 4.00.14 that I found from several years ago, played it a while, but now has DOS (no sound). Do you still fix these?

Hi there! You made my day about 5 years ago when you told me I had one of the only NS-HD models you had ever seen without the DOS issue. However, due to use and age, the button interface is getting more and more unresponsive and, since this has really old firmware, the tuning is VERY slow. I was thinking about buying the AudioVox option, which is the only currently produced version of the NS-HD01A in that the battery can be replaced and the button interface is much better. Can I have you as the send address so you can see if it still has the DOS flaw? I remember years ago this one had the same issue. Just like last time, I am happy to pay you even if you tell me that I am good to go. Let me know! :)

I have the NS-HD01A model ... never really got it to work correctly - no sound ... the display is crisp, the tuner seems to work, but even with a 5-bar signal there is no audio ... is this the DoS problem you are able to fix? Thanks ... Marty

Can my radio be fixed? The number on back is NS-HD01.

Hi Merlene,

As long as it is a silence issue (not loud popping noise), it can be fixed. Email sent.

Thank you!

Hi JC,

Normal price is $20/ea, but it'll be $80 total for 6-8 pcs.

Don't know why I did not get a notification for this message, sorry and thank you!

Sorry, I did not realize that Google made all the email disappeared, so I never get these requests for the past months!

Please submit your requests again and meanwhile I'll try to respond to old requests.

Very sorry!

My NS-HD01A went out; tried resetting it by shorting for a bit and that worked on/off, and then it started just being loud, then went mute again. Now I think it just needs a proper repair. Let me know the address and I'll ship it over. Thanks.

Good afternoon KoT,
It is Matthew again. I am thrilled that you were able to verify that my radio is among the few that do not have the manufacturing flaw that most of these radios have. I was writing you now to inquire as to whether or not it was possible to replace the original battery as its life is getting a little less than great. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks :)

Are you still repairing these HD Radios? The most recent of my HD Radios (I think it was the last generation made) has started to lose sound. I took it apart this morning and managed to get the volume to go back up but doubt that it will stay on. Thanks!

Can you fix? If so, how much $?

I have an original model NS-HD01 whose battery has developed an incredibly high self-discharge rate after full charge. I was going to attempt a replacement but all of the online listings for replacement batteries are for the NS-HS01A. In your comparison photos the batteries look physically compatible but I can't be sure. Since you have disassembled both models perhaps you could give me a pointer; or perhaps you offer a battery replacement service too. Thanks!

I used a HD01A in HD01, so vice versa should fit too.
