Omg-you are a life safer! I cant thank you enough for your help. Even though my clock is a lil different from the one in the video- mine is model #QXM565BRH- I just looked for the switch all over the clock, and found it a lil lower than where yours is. I just followed your instructions, and Viola! Literally, music to my ears🎶 I appreciate you and your help-and am going to spread the good word. Take care💕
i have a melody in motion clock, fanthom of the opera that goes off when it wants to it should separate then play than go back to original ho do i reset it?
Hi sir, It is me again. The base piece is tightly screwed with a white piece of Lever that I can spring up and down. Could you please take the Video closer and show me which piece should move to the center a little bit, thanks
Hi sir, My clock doesn’t play the melody and I fellow your instructions but still not playing the melody. You show us the piece needed to be in the center a little bit. I can’t see it well because it is kind of dark. Could you get your Video closer and show me again, thanks
I tried this fix for my clock I just bought yesterday. It played immediately while I still had it face-down. As soon as I put the back cover on, it worked, but once it was hung on the wall, it stopped. I think I’m going to return it. I have seen numerous complaints on different websites about these Seiko clocks.
Sorry to see that, I think the battery may have been too far forward, and looking at the tape it looks like you took off with the wind, instead of into the wind. That shows me a little bit of inexperience. That jet is a higher performance aircraft, and is going to be less forgiving of mistakes.
It's hard to determine what caused the crash from the visual point of view, it's hard to see it in the video, but I was listening to you at the beginning of the video saying that you were going to use ruder only for the turns; sorry to tell you that was a bad idea. This plane is designed to turn while banking keeping the turn with the elevator and come out of the turn using ailerons due to the speed. Trying to turn it with rudder only will make sink the wing that points to the turn down with no recovery, specially at the low altitude you were flying. You can only achieve rudder turns on slow flying planes like a Piper cub but never on a Jet like this. You use the ruder on this type of plain on final approach almost touching down to align the plain with the runway and that's it, not solely for a complete turn. If I was you I would practice in a flying simulator, that's what I did 29 years ago when I started RC flying.
Hi there, I worked according to your video and was so happy thinking. I could fix the clock. Going according to your directions. Unfortunately, unfortunately, it did not work. Would you have any other suggestions? I think I managed to strip the screws getting them out too. Please tell me anything else that could be wrong. It kept time it just does not play the melodies any longer. Thank you very much!
I just bought my 1st melodies in motion clock yesterday and I feel that my living room has enough lighting for the sensor to chime every hour but it has only chimed once at noon today can someone give me any advice before I return it, I really don't want to...thanks
Mine did not work after I followed these instructions. I also changed batteries first, waited 1 hour, took the back off. My lever was not stuck and was centered as shown. Nothing worked!
I had high hopes and appreciate your video, but after taking the back off, I found that mine is different and I can not find anything visible that I could move like you did. I wish I could send you mine!
I have found that when the batteries grow weak, the mechanical display on the face will stop, usually halfway through its motion and appear stuck while the time on the clock continues to work. New batteries will finish the motion and return the clock to full function. Thanks for the tip on the switch. That's a new one for me.
Ok, This is how I fixed my Seiko clock. First you have to use a good Philips screwdriver size PH00 (zero,zero). It has to be long enough to reach deep into the screw holes. Take your time and don't strip the screws or you will have a hard time ever removing them. Once you remove 6-8 screws you lift the back cover. In mine the batteries can stay installed without problem. Next you want to look at the mechanism and the switch as shown on the video. Mine clock I think skipped a gear. And when I pressed the button the intro melody would start and for a second or two and the actual melody would play but the movement would not initiate. To reset that mechanism I pushed the bigger white gear counterclockwise a couple times and I was pressing the button to advance the motion. after a couple times the movement would start moving but stopped not in the right position. Just press the melody buttons a couple times until the numbers and face plates will realign again. And then test it a couple times and it should work. But remember to be gentle when pushing the gears so not to damage the smaller plastic gears. Just move the larger gear counterclockwise! I hope this help some and Good Luck!! It will be worth it!! PS. there was a question regarding a fifth battery and when I opened the compartment I saw the place for the battery, but it was blocked by two plastic pins so I think this is used for some models but not all. I myself didn't try to break off those two pins to install additional battery.
Tysm I can't wait to try this! Not sure if I'm having the same issue-I received my clock as a gift (not even sure how old it is) the batteries were covered w/ corrosion so my bf cleaned the whole area off, but still the clock wasn't working. He tweeked around w the coil where one of the batteries were, and it came on-for about 3 seconds! It plays a few notes, and then it starts to play a song, but after a second, it goes back to those few notes. Then nothing. This happens on the hour, so it seems like it wants to play a song, but for some reason it stops. I'm desperate so I'll try whatever sounds like it may work. I really hope it does. Tysm for your information-I m grateful I came across your message.
What did u fix? What wasn't working? The music. The motion. The time or all 3? Im lost. Plrase state which mechanism you're fixing.. Can't reach screws... how to tell if mine needs 5th battery?
HOW DO YOU OPEN THE BACK THERES NO WAY YOU CAN ACCESS THE SCREWS HELP PLEASE MY CLOCK WAS WORING FINE UNTIL i REPACED THE BATTERIES NOW THE HANDS WONT MOVE
I was so happy that this video was available. I had the exact problem. I was getting ready to buy a new one. It wasn't working so I figured I had nothing to loose by opening it up. Thank you so much
