Tnx a bunch Andy!
The caps on A9 here were replaced about 2009. I will look there first
though.
Great info from your email re the two 470uf caps and the 16uh inductor.
I'll snoop around a bit with those in mind. May have to bite the bullet and
send it in, but the bullet doesn't seem to be too hard as $200+ is workable.
Tnx again.

Bob,
The exact same thing happened to my Oll in June. I had already replaced
the 3
caps on the A-9 board so I checked the voltages and they were ok. The
battery
had been replaced when I did the 3 caps.
In short, I sent the radio to TT via the procedure they request, obtain
RMA
etc.
I am looking at the repair slip. They replaced two 470 uf caps on the cpu
board. Also replaced one 16 uh inductor on the DC inverter board.
While there they did alignment of the Recv and Xmtr to factory specs. Test
function/ operation, Test Burn in/ heat rack, Test Final on air check.
The final bill was $203.65. This does not include shipping to and from.
I am more than pleased with the service dept.
Andy, W3LI

Subject: [TenTec] Orion II Black Screen
I am getting ready for our annual Multi-Two N7AT fun in CQWW SSB, this
weekend. One of the op positions has my Orion II. Today, I turned the
Orion II
on and no screen appeared, just blank/black. The radio appears to be
functioning fine but no screen. It does not appear to be power supply
related.
It worked fine two days ago (and generally trouble free since 2006 when I
bought it new). Latest firmware 3.033xe installed and RX-366. Battery was
recently replaced.
Any guidance you can give me. The radio is contest-unusable as is.
TNX.
