I had the happen to me and got the small ring left in it by
heating up a tip of a small safety pin and poking that into the
yellow ring and slowly lifting it out off the power pin.

Check
the power socket on the radio to see if the little yellow
insulation tip on the end of the plug has not dislodged and
is stuck in there. If that happened from another cable, you
won’t be able to insert the plug in far enough to make
contact. In this case it may be that the tip of the charger
plug is stuck in there.

I have recently came back to the ham
radio hobby, and decided to remove some dust from my old
FT-817 (not ND)
To my surprise, the unit refuses to turn
on when connected to a 13.8V power supply, but when I use
the 12V charger everything is normal
I have checked the power supply with a
tester and I see the correct voltage on both ends of the
power cable, so I'm a little puzzled.?
I don't think this should be a problem,
since the radio should work just fine even with 12V, still
I'd like to understand what's happening
Has someone experienced the same issue? I
made a quick search on the topics and the FAQ, but didn't
find any?
