The '850's display has a tendency to not light up for up to 15 seconds after power-up - it's a random occurance that many have experienced. However, even when the display is dark, the radio is still operational - there's audio from the speaker and everything works. In your case, is the rig completely dead or is just the display dark? - Aaron, NN6O -----Original Message----- From: kenwood-bounces at mailman.qth.net [mailto:kenwood-bounces at mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Kevin Gray Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:34 PM To: kenwood at mailman.qth.net Subject: [Kenwood] Help with TS 850 Wont turn on Have a 20 million serial number TS 850 that will NOT turn on.
