[Kenwood] Problem with TS-850S Display

Wed, 28 Aug 2002 19:29:08 -0400

Hi Ernie,

I'd bet on that 470uF electrolytic capacitor... I believe it's just a 16V
unit. I had similar problem... I'm assuming the rig is actually wrking on TX
and RX and it's just the display... which probably also comes on as you
change state from RX to TX and back...

It's not a tough job, just be careful with the soldering as the circuit
traces are small... and use just the heat you need. It took  me much less
than an hour... maybe 30mins., but I also did some other adjustments since
it was open.

Good luck.

find out that the display on my TS-850 won't come out. Prior to this, there
were instances when I've experienced waiting for a while before the display
comes out after switching on the transceiver (sometimes you need to key the
mic for it to light up). I came across a ham who had the same problem and
the 470uf capacitor (how many vdc?) on the display board was the culprit.
Any other reasons? Inputs will be much appreciated as this is my main
transceiver used for contests and dx.
