Lexon Tykho radio repair

This nice radio, a Tykho by Lexon, has developped a trouble : it won't charge its battery anymore.I decided to try to save it. I found the inexpensive ltc4054 chip on Aliexpress. ( As well as the horrific fake "kapton" tape ). Hope it will help to save some other ones !

Excellent work. I want to get one of those radios and now I know what the innards look like in case a future repair is needed.

Yes, nice little radios. i'm not sure why this chip failed... may be overvoltage. Thanks !

Hello, something heavy fall on the antenna. And i can't choose a station anymore. How can you help me? I find nothing on the net. Thanks.

Having the same problem - did you figure it out?

@@kenankitchen6266 The antenna rotates to select the station, so it's a potentiometer; maybe it's inner thin conductive traces or the wiper are broken. If you can identify which type is used, you could wire one up to see if that was all the damage.
