Title: Siemens NCDR1500 not turning ON
Post by: ksareen on 03 January 2012, 11:23:29
Hi all,

Happy new year!

Apologies for posting an Astra query in Omega forum, but the audio system in my car is found far more in Omega than any other Vauxhall, so I am hoping to get some help here..

I've a 2001 Astra with Siemens NCDR1500 stereo which had been working fine till recently..

I've recently come back from a holiday, the car was parked for 10 days and battery was flat when I opened the car.

So the car was jump started but the NCDR1500 has not turned ON since.

I've also previously jump started the car a few times but my radio never asked for a code and always worked fine!

I thought maybe the power button is playing so I tried the EJECT CD option (which usually turns it ON) but no joy, there is an audio CD inside.

Also checked the associated fuses in the fuse box (Fuse 19-10A, 34-20A & 21-5A). They all seem fine.

Any ideas what else to check?

Thanks in advance..

Yep, and only ever pops when jump started !!

Thanks fiend61 and Dave DND. I will take the unit out tonight and report back.

Could you please let me know if its a normal astra fuse (mini fuse) or any special one (size, rating etc)?

Thanks..

Whats probably troubling for any normal sane person, why did I happen to have a NCDR1100 within arms reach that I could photograph!
