Eric,
The X2A and W2A that do not turn on, let a fully charged battery or
charger be attached for about 4 hours then reset the unit and see if it
powers up after that if you have not tried it. In those day Icom used a
rechargeable internal lithium battery. Though I am not 100% for sure the
X2A and W2A used internal lithium batteries. Icom was changing over to
eeproms too about the time frame those products were produced. But a
quick test would not hurt.
My memory is getting short though, the other day I told another about a
"reset circuit" in his W2A and Bruce reminded me and others here that
circuit was actually a voltage regulator.
Many times the 2SAT series would not power on and doing as mentioned
above would " fix" the problem.
