Check the voltage at the power supply . It should be around 13.6v. Check the connections where the wires connect to the power supply. It sounds like the radio is not getting good voltage and is shutting down.

My 857D died tonight a couple of times. Now it has come back on a couple of times but only shows 7.7 to 8.0 volts.? I am not good at electronics at all, what is the problem you think?
