- My friend asked me to take a look at this Makita DMR115 site radio a few months ago because it had stopped working on him. Having attempted (and failed) to repair it at the time, I decided it was worth another look in case I'd missed something.

Hello from Germany! First started the problem i couldn't turn it off and later Because I had to toke the Battery off to get it off one day died. I am glad to see your video I see now I am not the only one with this problem. if you do ever fix it please share it!😀
Hi. I too have the same problem and found the fuse with an open circuit. Like you discovered the power stays on unfortunately. Keen to know how you get on with the further repair if you succeed. Video was really helpful to this point. Thanks.
Brilliant video, thank you
what is the name for the broken part?
Wait for sec Torx I hope my failure is the same. … unit work 😂 have any body value for the fuse ?
Did you manage to solve the problem with the power button?
I got mine is not working with the battery is come up BATTERY LOW...I did change few batterys still same and if I plug in is working ....maybe you have a clue or something...thanks...nice video 👍
I tried with my multimeter but I’m guessing it won’t read so low values. What multimeter are you using or what do you recommend
I'm using a Fluke meter that I repaired in another video, but any half-decent meter (£40+) should be fine for stuff like this.
bravo
Has anyone every found the fuse online to purchase? Finding it difficult to do so, any help is appreciated!
What size torx bit is it please 🙏
3:23 - it's a T15 security bit.
How odd, mine wouldn’t turn off the last 3 times I used it, tried to turn it on after the weekend and nothing, dead. Time to buy a new radio I think
Hello. I have a same radio and same faults. By watching your video I manage to fix power failure, but not on/off button. Have you manage to find this fault? Thanks
Not yet, but interesting to hear that you have the same power button issue. I'm hoping to revisit this when my new fuses arrive. They're coming from China though, so it won't be for a little while.
@@SpareTimeRepair faults for my radio happened when I was using USB charging port for whole day. There fore best place to look for this fault is to fallow USB port paths
@@arvydaspr Thanks, that's a good tip!
@@SpareTimeRepairhow did you go? My power button has failed as well.
@@kizzjd9578 Problem is transistor Q8, mark on transistor is 3403, there are 2 pieces near by conector from battery, check them and you will find that one of them is short circuit between drain and source. It is MOSFET AO3403, this is DC switch. Replace it and it will be ok.
3x100 flat blade will get those security screws out 👍
First the damn thing wouldn't turn off all of a sudden. I took the battery out, put it in and it turned on all by itself. But I couldn't turn the damn thing off again. I repeated the procedure. Same result. Then I slid another 18V battery in. Fully loaded of course. Ever scince then - one hour ago - I haven't been able to get the damn thing to turn on. I bought it under two years ago and it hasn't been in any really hazardous environment yet. In fact, most of the time it's been in the kitchen - or the WC as I like to hear music when I take a crap. This damn thing is also a piece of crap and will now be going straight back to the place I bought it for a refund. Reading all the comments below is a warning to me not to take this model anymore. Greetings from Germany where the score England - Holland is now 1:1.
No way I'm gonna do that, i'll ge me a New one.....
