[Elecraft] Nine month rested 2014 K3 now only shows a blank orange screen P3 will not activate.

[Don Wilhelm]

Start with the basics - disconnect everything other than the power and a 
dummy load to the K3.
Then power it on.
If all is well in that basic configuration, then start adding the extra 
things one at a time to find out what is creating the problem.
If the basic K3 still responds with a blank LCD screen, then try an 
EEINIT.  Hopefully you have saved a configuration file so you can 
restore the configuration data after the EEINIT - if not follow the 
calibration steps in the manual to get back to an operational state.

If that does not help, contact Elecraft support.
