Greetings from 2020!
I'm in the process of moving and was going through stuff in the basement to see what I wanted to keep or not. My DX-440 hasn't worked in many years and was replaced ages ago with a 398. I brought it upstairs and was messing around with it... power light always on with 9V 300mA adapter, no audio from speaker or headphone jack, AM displays signal bars, FM stations don't. I read through a few of the posts from the 90's and came across one discussing flipping the INT/EXT antenna switch in the rear of the radio. I pulled the plug, flipped the switch a few times and plugged the 440 back in. The set started working! The power light is still on even when the set is off, but other than that the radio seems to work for now.
