[1000mp] MP with Flashing VFO-A, no Rcve, no Xmit... And no joy!

Your symptoms sound familiar.  I think somewhere in the archives, there is
a posting about a blown 5V regulator that causes this.  I believe the
regulator
is fairly easy to replace.

I coulda swore I saw a similar problem posted recently, but a check (albeit
quick) of the archives did not turn up what I was looking for.

I was in the shack this morning doing other things when the VFO-A display
started blinking the frequency readout. At the time I had the AF gain all
the way down, but when I turned it up there was nothing. Keypad tactile beep
response was gone as well. No audio, no signal strength being indicated on
S-meter. Also no transmit. The rig seems to change frequency/bands OK, but
the display just keeps on blinking. VFO-B also produces no output on receive
or transmit, but does not blink.

I ultimately tried the total CPU reset as a shot in the dark, but no joy.

This is a relatively early s/n original MP. Any ideas what the problem is?
