I have HRIA also, AND DID HAVE A CLAIM...  My ICOM 7800 STOPPED TURNING ON....
"logic board"  to the tune of 700$ plus 200+ fgt & insurance ( 70 lbs !!!

I opt for an additional charge for " electrical failure"...  and 
according to ICOM it was a surge..
on the 5VDC line,,, ( Hmmm  doesn't that come from the icom power supply ????)

  HRIA covered it ,,,phew,,,,sent the bill got the check ....

The same thing happened three years later...
surges , hah...  that unit is on an online 3.5k ups.....   resolved a 
good solution with ICOM.
