Linn Karik CD transport : "--" is displayed

Hi,

I bought a Linn Karik CD player to be used as a transport to feed my Cary Xciter DAC.
This is the second Linn Karik I have and along with its phenomenal sound it has an issue with the display. The display constantly shows 2 dashes and I have to press the "display" button on my remote in order to actually see the display which will show for a few seconds only to go back to the 2 dashed as seen in the picture below. I did not see this phenomena on my first Linn Karik and the manual doesn’t mention anything about that. Serial number is 015265.

I tried all options. One of them was putting the switch into non sleep mode prior to powering the Karik

I opened the Karik and using an ohm meter I found that the switch dosn't work.
Spraying it with servisol solved the problem. Display is back :-)

Nice, you found a simple fix.  My Karik went to the graveyard smoking and stinking.  The Numerik still soldiers on though.
