[Kenwood] TS-850 Display Delay

Fri, 19 Mar 2004 21:18:25 -0600

Mine did the same thing about a year ago.  Finally, the light-up time kept
getting longer and longer until....no back-lighting.  The fluorescent tube
converter was not getting power.  I finally traced down the cause.  One of
the circuit board traces ran under one of the larger lytics on the big
display board.  I traced everything down to that exact spot.  I removed the
lytic and found it had leaked and corroded the tracing.  I jumpered it, put
in a new cap, and voila....it works.  I think it was an 8V regulated DC
line????  don't remember.

73, and hoe you find the problem....let us all know.

> I picked up a very nice TS-850S at an estate sale w/ matching speaker and
power supply. Everthing appears to work fine both an xmt & rcv. Only problem
is that sometimes the display takes 10-15 seconds to come to life when I
first hit the power button on. It also dosn't seem as bright to me as it
should on any brightness setting.
