[Elecraft] KX3 will not power up

[a45wg at sy-edm.com]

Dear Elecraft brain trust,
							My KX3 seems to have an issue. It will not "boot up". The power on key combination, on the second quick attempt gets the back-lights to power on, initially at a dim value, which then drops to a very-dim setting. It was working fine 3 weeks ago, when I was working /P. 

	This problem manifests itself with the Batteries installed and the DC Power connected. It is exactly the same in both cases.


	So far I have checked
			- Input Power. Centre positive. Voltage 14v
			- Internal Connection cable
				  Appears well seated.
			- Batteries.
				  Removed them all. Same result
				  Externally charged - then replaced in radio. Same result.
			- Soft buttons on radio
				Non appear depressed
			-Dials on radio
				All rotate/Depress where applicable. no obvious damage.
			- No Usb Connection possible as the radio does not power up
			- EE-INIT also seemingly not possible

	Next steps / What have I missed ?? Or is it time for Tech-Support ??

	Many thanks
