[1000mp] MY FT-1000MP JUST WENT DEAD

[Morris Wideman]

 Hi Rainer
There are 3 to 5 physically small electrolytic capacitors located in the internal power suppy that will cause the supply to fail to start. You need to be able to remove the supply then open it up to replace these
it is not a job to be tackled unless your familiar with such work you have to remove the PA unit to ge the supply out. You can test that this is the problem by using external supply.
Wish you luck 73 Morris WA4MIT

 My MP is from around 1996. I have equipped it with the Inrad roofing filter
and it has done a very good job over the years, although it has been mostly
switched off during the last 10 years.
Listened to the contest today and it suddenly went dead. First it switched
off and on by itself a few times and then it went black. Could hear a slight
bump in the speaker and then nothing. Checked the mains fuse,
but it's ok. What I haven´t done yet is supplying it directly with 12 Volts,
since it could be the built-in power supply. Even though I'm waiting for a
new radio, I really don't feel getting rid of it yet.
Anybody has an idea?
