?Did you try testing it with out the cover? ?If it works without the cover then something metallic may have fallen in or something is loose. ?If not, then you will have to send it in. ?I have run into the jostling issue before and found that squeezing, reseating, and tightening screws was an issue. ?At the same time jostling?mayhave been the last straw for a week solder or component. may?

If there are no other suggestions, I'll be packing up this thing on Monday and shipping it off to the hospital.

Thanks, all!
Tried the TV mode; no effect.
I saw three different ribbon cables with the top cover off. ?Unseated each, checked for nicked/damaged wires, reseated. ?No effect. ?I'll go get a tin of Deoxit at Radio Shack - luckily we have one! - and try that. The contacts all appear in perfect order, shiny and dust-free, but there may be a film on there I can't see.?
Thanks again,

Looks like you have gone into TV mode. Try pushing the top left volume knob in, for more
than one second, to get out of TV mode. This is the knob that you use to adjust the AF (volume control)

Hello, all! I'm a total n00b to this group, having joined because my venerable and beloved IC7K has just developed a catastrophic failure which I cannot address. I hope that someone recognizes the symptoms and can diagnose a cure which doesn't involve sending it to Icom for expensive repair. :D
St Croix is a dusty island, especially on the East End. Periodically I take the covers off my radio, PS, and station computer to blow out the dust and dog hair. I have done this at least three times in the last year. This time, I removed the covers of the 7k, remembered I was out of canned air, replaced the covers, and it was all goofed up.
Here's a list of the symptoms:
The display is all boogered up, as you can see in the image linked below.
Nothing works,so far as I can tell; MON was on, so it should have at least given me my mic audio, but it doesn't.
PTT works.
Audio comes out of the headphones, but not the speaker.
N1MM can communicate with the rig and I can see the freq adjust in N1MM when I spin the VFO dial. I can click on cluster spots and presumably the rx freq changes, but I can hear no signals.
I tried a hard CPU reset per p.25 of the manual but it did nothing.
It had been working perfectly not an hour before.
Here's a picture of what greets me when I power up the rig:
Thanks for your help, 7000 Hive Mind!
