Yesterday, I turned my Mark V on for the first time in about a month, and=20
was appalled when the display did not come right on as usual.  However,=20
after about 5 seconds it did illuminate.  I have since had the radio off=20
overnight, and when I turned it on this morning it came on right away.

This has me wondering whether the thermal fuse is the only issue involved,=
=20
since overnight gives plenty of time to cool off, yet there was no display=
=20
delay this time.
