It wouldn't let me get far enough into the process to do that. It's sounding more and more like failure of the capacitors in the power distribution board, the processor board regulator or a failure of U500, all of which have caused problems that look like this one.

I'm afraid it's happened...my Orion II may have bitten the big one! When I turn it on, I get the half-bright meter face, but then nothing else happens. It stays like that forever with no LED's lit and nothing on the screen. Power supply is OK and I measure +14 V on the accessory output on the back of the radio. Anyone else ever see this sort of behavior?

I'm sure you've tried this but I'll ask anyway.  Did you try a reset?
