Help - I have an AKAI GX-F90 deck that has recently been giving me problems. I have been using it recently to convert some older cassettes to MP3 files. I have been connecting the deck to a laptop via the phone jack, and then recording the decks output using Audacity software. The deck works well for about 15/20 minutes, but after that I start to get a humm in the LH channel. If I shut the tape off, the humm continues. I can see the LH indicator showing output even when the tape is off, and I can see the humm on the Audacity software. Turning off the power and letting the deck sit for a day seems to reset it and I can get another 20 minutes or so. I hooked up an external fan near the back of the unti to keep it cooler, but the problem remains. What should I do?
