[quote=Edchris177]One other thing, are you sure the battery is good? Even a "dead" battery shows almost full voltage.
Is it actually turning on, do the lights in the keypad work?
You should get a keypad light & "beep" everytime you push a button. If you hold the the volumn button down it should beep once, then continuous squelch. It will do this even with the antennae removed.
If it doesn't, either the battery is no good, the connection to the battery is faulty,(possibly the on/off switch), or an internal power connection is broken.
Try swapping a battery from a working set.
If the problem is the on/off switch, or other internal, it's not worth fixing.
If it does actually turn on & squelch, then the antenna can be swapped.
Either way, you have now eliminated the few faults that are cost effective to remedy..[/quote]
