[Elecraft] K3S: LCD backlight is on, but no segments are lit

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

One thing (among MANY) that impresses me about Elecraft's service is that
they'll trust an owner to change a cap without requiring a lengthy and
expensive return process.
Not saying this is always the case, since some problems DO require a return.
That said, it's a LOT cheaper to send a K3 in than a 70+ pound "monster"
radio.

Oh, and pass me some more of that Kool-Aid too.

Gary AB7MY from Elecraft suggested that it was likely a shorted C102.
Indeed it was.   Thanks, Gary!   73 de AI6KG
