Surely this has already been checked...but just in case...
A friend asked me to sell his FT857 and I was preparing a listing, but could not get the rig to turn on. I contacted him and he was sure it had been working, then mentioned he had changed the microphone back to the original from the one with a TT pad that he had been using. I plugged in my TT pad mic and he rig powered up just fine. There is a menu setting that must match the mic being used, so I set it back to the original mic and then the radio worked fine, powered up on that mic and operated well. So...you might confirm that menu setting.
