[1000mp] Power switch problem

[N0OEL at aol.com]

I would guess its more than you think John.    Theres lots  of things you 
are doing when you push that button.   If you want a guy  that is great on 
repair and most of us take our radios to in the Twin Cities I  would suggest 
you contact Gary Grivna.    He is the best and just  fixed mine!     Another 
guy had a MKV that
even Yaesu wouldn't repair and Gary found the problem and fixed  it.      
Yaesu wanted to replace a board that was not  available,

The  Power switch on my Mk. V has been acting up recently. When I try to 
turn  off the radio, the button goes to the Off (out) position, but the 
radio  stays on. Usually switching it On and Off again once will correct 
the  problem, but occasionally it takes several cycles to get it to  work.

Has anyone else encountered this failure? How big a job is it to  
disassemble the front panel to the point where the switch can be  
replaced? Thanks!
