[ICOM] Icom 756 and ESD damage

[Larry Young]

John and all: Your question itself reveals ignorance and confusion regarding 746 and 756 issues. 1. The 746 driver issues were display driver issues, not PA driver issues, and were not present in the756 radio. 2. There were problems in some the 756 displays in which blue lines would appear making the displays unusable.3. ESD issues can be present in all solid state receivers, and are dependent upon many variables which are too numerous to answer in just a single e-mail. 
I hope this helps a little.

 Is the Icom 756 original succeptable to driver failure, like the 746 is, or
to other ESD damage like I have read about on some Eham.net reviews on the
756PRO series?
