[1000mp] FT-1000MP panel switches not responding.

[Adam Farson]

Hi John,

It may be possible to repair the board. If it is a 2-layer (not multi-layer)
board, you may be able to identify the broken trace(s), repair it (them) by
soldering little wire bridges across the fracture(s) and reinforcing the
board by cementing the crack with epoxy adhesive.

If you need to replace the board, Yaesu UK should be able to order a
replacement part for you - but it will doubtless be rather expensive.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

No not pleased to hear it at all.  I am glad that you at least now know what
the problem is and not something that you might have done.
