To fix the projection display that is stuck with four 8's, hold down the hour and miute button at the same time. Keep the buttons pressed down while unplugging the power source then pluging it back it. I did this and the screen works like it did when I first got it.

Follow the instructions on page 6 of this manual: http://www.fixya.com/support/p83615-homedics_ss_4000_clock_radio/usermanual-A6F4B0F-pdf

I had the same problem - the directions can now be found here: http://media.homedics.com/IBs/SS-4500_IB.pdf

You can Set the Clock in this way:
1. Press the HOUR button until you reach the correct hour.
2. Press the MIN button until you reach the correct minute.
3. Press the HI/LOW button to choose between high and low clock brightness.
Note: An LED light (PM indicator) will appear in the upper left hand corner of the clock face during the PM hours. Be sure to set the time for the correct 12-hour period - AM (morning) or PM (evening).

I hope I helped.
Thanks.

4. To activate the alarm you may choose one of 3 wake options:

b. To wake to a SOUND press the AL MODE button a second time. It will set to the last
sound you listened to. If you wish to change it press the sound you wish to
wake to and then press the POWER button.
c. To wake to RADIO press the AL MODE button a third time. You may leave it on the
current station or adjust the TUNER.
Note: A green LED will appear next to the wake mode selected to indicate the alarm is set.

Hi elph37,

Try opening it from the bottom, and removing the internal PCB's. The Buttons will be situated against the roof of the cover. Just remove and clean each button individually. There might be grime keeping the button stuck, or it has shifted to an off center position.. Anyhow, this procedure should fix the issue.

Kind Regards

Hmmm well yes it indeed indicates that this must not be done, as if it is it will often ruin the unit, as i suspect it has in your case, indeed it is now a paperweight, sorry. The battery removal removes the memory setup contents and once removed it "Forgets" all the settings.
