That's good stuff Bob. I think Barry saves good write-ups in his Ten Tec Wee
Willy Wonka Wiki pages.
I don't own an Orion II but your info is gonna help somebody at some point .

Subject: [TenTec] Orion II Black Screen - Successful Repair
This is a follow up to my email below from 24 October 2016.
As of 12/14/16, my Orion II is successfully repaired now, thanks to good
friend Kevin W9CF. What had failed was some component(s) on the 12v to 1800v
inverter board that powers the cfl backlight.
A new inverter board (TDK CXA-L0612A-VJL which is DigiKey part #
445-1619-ND; about $23) has the radio up and running like new.

Thought some of you real techies would like to know this. Thanks to those
of you that responded to me directly.

Gents;
I am getting ready for our annual Multi-Two N7AT fun in CQWW SSB, this
weekend. One of the op positions my Orion II. 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.
