Problem powering on

 

Thanks for accepting me to the group. My FT-920 suddenly exhibited a problem upon applying power.? Initially when the power switch was depressed the display would com on, and then flash on and off at approximately 1 second intervals. Usually (for several years) I could immediately turn off the power and reapply it and all would be well.? Now the last time I tried it, today it had been off for a couple months, and it took me 8 tries to get it to lock up. I double checked the DC power supply, a 35 amp Pyramid and it is set at 13.8 V DC. Any suggestions as to what to look for?? I have never had "the hood" open on this transceiver.? Best of 73 and I await a reply ( or a dozen).??

Thanks, Derek,
I may have discovered the problem.? When I finally got it on this afternoon, I left it on for 3 hours. When I came back, I turned it off, and could easily turn it back on and the VFO and display would lock on the first try. I suspect it does not like room temp being 60 degrees....in the basement, no heat down here...outside temp 57 for the day's high. Will pursue?my suggestions and also yours.? Thanks a bunch.? 73
