Icom IC-7000 no switch on

As you saw from the video we started the investigation believing that the 12v output from the boost circuit was dragging lots of current. This was in fact a false lead, and attention turned to the boost circuits inability to supply more than 15mA before itself sinking 2 to 4 amps. Feeding and external 8v into a stand alone head should take 160mA. Hope this helps//joe

bought my ic7000 on fleebay... it starting doing the exact same thing after it was stored for a while... it worked nicely before in the semi before it was stored...well this gives me some direction of what to do with the $800 brick >.> sounds like a new/used replacemnt faceplate is in order.

Nice work, Joe! I think I'd have checked DC resistance of the coil and assumed that it was OK. Learned something new!

do you have a parts list?... looks like I may have to do repair myself due to covid lockdown :(
