[ICOM] IC-775 Display

[Paul Playford]

I just finished repairing the same problem on my 775.  The transformer 
secondary that powers the fluorescent lamp had not been soldered, which is 
kinda hard to do with surface mount devices.

Fold the front panel down, I recall there is a cover on the MP2 module that 
is at the far right end of the circuit board that is on the frame of the 
radio (not the tilted down part), remove that cover and you will see L6, the 
transformer.  Reduce your room lighting, turn the radio on and you will 
probably see arcing on the top two contacts.

Power down the radio, solder the arcing terminals (carefully) and you should 
be good to go.

Hi all!


My IC-775 hav devoloped a problem. The display light sometimes flicker. The 
flicker  reminds of a broken fluorescent tube or a broken device that lights 
up the fluorescent tube. (I do not know the name for it in english.)

Any ideas?
