[ICOM] IC-706MKII Blown Cap

[Brian M]

Hello to everyone on the reflector. I just came across a 706mkii that's not
powering up. I opened it up and looked at the PA section, C82 and Q1 are
blown. My question is do you suspect a reverse polarity, bad finals, or a
just a plain cap failure. I'm hoping it's not a final issue which I still
need to desolder and test.

 

Just curious if anyone ever had the same failure.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian
