Some displays have one or too bulbs that are solded to the board to highlight the digital display usually hidden behind the screen, this is a very difficult repair because it requires a complete dis-assembly to get at the parts, but if the display is completely dead there is no voltage reaching the display ic.

You may download the manual for yourself here.

The disc loading mechanism has the fault. Might be a loose or brokent loading belt. Check it.

Hello
Check the metal battery contacts at the set for any rust or dirt accumulated on springs of pads, restricting the flow of current from backup batteries to the inside circuit of the set. Backup batteries should be replaced after 12 months periodically to retain data. When you replace the battery, the data stored will be lost, and you have to re-enter all the data once again. OK.

One possibility is that there is a scratch on the CD lens. But first try cleaning again, but this time use Isopropyl Alcohol. As meths might leave residue behind.

Hi I'm not familiar with your particular model, but the auto stop problem is common and is usually the result of a slipping drive belt, or bad idler/reel drive. The auto-stop works by popping a small tooth like plastic or nylon piece attached to an arm, when you runout of tape and takeup reel pulls the tape tight. The auto-stop mech can get contaminated with dust, and not work, or the reel for some reason does not pull the tape tight enough to fully engage that piece and the result is a ticking sound. As the deck now has your tape, I suspect the main drive belt is broken or probably slipping, and all will work fine if it is replaced. Although changing the belt is not difficult, you should probably take it to a repair shop, as getting the right size is important, and the deck may have to be dismantled to change it. Hope this helps, good luck!
