Generally, when a rig is here for trade-in or service and acting flaky due
to a possible power supply issue, one of the first things our techs will do
is clean out the power supply connectors on the end of the PS cable
and/or the one panel mounted inside the radio. It's amazing how many
radios will spring back to from life from "dead" or erratic just by doing
this. We use DeoxIT DN5 spray cleaner for this purpose - it's not
cheap but it works great.
