[ICOM] Water damage to PW-1, now inop

[Ken Kinyon]

Larry,
In some obscure section of the back of the manual is a table that decodes the
blinking lights.  I don't have mine any more, so can't look it up.  However, I
am guessing a vacation in Bellevue is in order for it. Good Luck with it.
73,
Ken W7TS

Due to a burst water pipe, water poured into my PW-1 while it was operating!
for a few brief moments (less than a minute) yesterday. I immediately
removed the cover, dried the components that had gotten wet, and blew a fan
into the amp for 8 hours to dry any remaining water.

Upon turning on the amp today, all visual indicators seem to be working
properly - all the normal indicator lamps work, bandswitching works, tuner
functions, ACC1 connection tracks the band that my 756 is switched to, and
the fan starts. Everything looks normal UNTIL I switch to transmit mode.
Then the amp/protect lamps switches to red and the band LED begins blinking.
This failure occurs on every band, regardless whether the tuner is engaged,
and into a dummy load (perfect SWR).

Any suggestions as to where I should look? Or is it time to pack it into a
large box and ship it to Icom?
