I've had the exact same problem twice with my 765.  I thought I'd wait until I heard from the tech at ICOM Canada before I made this post.
In both cases, the rig just quit transmitting(all modes) but the receive was normal. The last time it happened, I was in the middle of a QSO, when the power in the neighborhood had a momentary drop, and then came back up.

Well, here is the answer (in my case anyway).  Q14 on the RF board was shot.  No apparent reason, but the tech suggested perhaps the power surge may have been the cause, or perhaps a static discharge from somewhere.  My rig(s) are well grounded, and my FT1K has never suffered this problem.

Doug (KF8VS), I don't know if you've solved your 765 problem yet or not, but mine was Q14.
