I have found that removing the front panel, then using Q-Tips and alcohol to clean the mating contacts on both the panel AND the transceiver chassis will fix this and other similar problems.? The contact surface area is so small that the slightest amount of dust, muck, etc., can cause problems.? I've had my 7K since 2009 (moving it between a house, car, RV, and boat over the years) and have had to do this a few times.

FWIW --
That was my experience with an IC-706mk2, which uses the same "remote cable" connectors.? Q-Tips and alcohol is the first thing to try.
