Hi David and thanks. Unfortunately there's no little rubber bung on my clock. Nor does there appear to be anything which will restore the factory settings as George suggested. It's a shame if the clock is permanently damaged as it's a great little thing. Cheers now.

If so you will find a rectangular rubber insert in the short side opposite to the volume control. If so, remove the rubber bung and you will find two pins. These replicate the push button on the front side. If you carefully short these out, the time will be spoken. Repeat this and see if the symptoms are the same as pressing the button on the front. If so, try George's solution. If not, then you have a mechanical problem in this case, then you will need to find a little eastern chap with about 6 pairs of hands as the mechanical construction is complex.
