Open top cover and locate the TCXO board (close to the metal enclosure on the upper right side, that contains the PLL). The small TCXO board is inserted in a kind of socket (4+3 pins, if I remember correctly). Remove and reinsert this small board several times. Finally insert it, reassemble the radio and apply power.
Hopefully it will work. It worked for me. Guess I was lucky and it was just a matter of bad contact.
Best of luck to you.

I have a FT 817 with flashing display. Yaesu says it would cost more to repair than the radio is worth. A PLL issue they say.?
I wonder if there is another 817 out there with other issues that I might buy to repair mine...Hal/WB4AEG
