Re: [IRCA] Seek receiver repair help

[KH2AR@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I think the problem with my 2010 is much simpler. Probably just a loose solder connection or two. If I turn it on and get the "ERROR 3" message but tap the case I can sometimes get it to come to life. I will also keep searching for a solution but am very reluctant to pop the case myself and run the risk of causing more damage. I will indeed keep you in the look Colin in hopes that you will be in a better situation to take on some extra repair work. 

73, Jim

I am in the process of "upsizing" from a large suite in a tower to an 
actual house with a back yard 
and a real work shop! 

My passion for fixing radios may be reflashed when that happens this 
summer. One never knows. 
Keep me in the loop. 

>From what you are telling me, your radio is essentially deaf now? 
It is quite common for the 2010 to pop a FET in the front end but that 
usually does not result in total deafness. 
Scratchy audio is likely the product of anything from a dirty volume 
potentiometer to some flaky or dying caps. 

Keep me posted.
