I will second the other post about the DC socket. Same thing happened to 
mine and I had to replace the socket.

Greetings all -- As I've done many times before I was using external power 
to monitor for ARES exercise while using main rig for comm. After I 
withdrew the external power connector the HT would not power up. Yes, the 
battery is fully charged. I usually withdraw the ext. power connector with 
the HT off. Maybe I didn't this time. Could that be it???? (It works 
just fine with the external power). Tried alternating with external and 
battery power several times. No change. No "workee"!!
Any thoughts? Could it be the contacts on the ext. power recept. have 
collapsed and won't reconnect to the battery? That's my guess -- but how 
does one repair if that's it?? (Make it simple)!
All help will be very much appreciated.
BTW it's the best HT I've ever owned/operated before or since it's purchase!
TIA!!!
