If it's the same board as the Omni V, there are soldered wires passing
from one side of the display board to the other, some under socketed chips.
Those wires must have been floor sweepings; they have corroded in
my O-5 a time or two. Heat them with a small soldering iron or replace
them with copper....and you will be in business!
You will have to study the thing carefully to find the pass-thrus, but it
is an easy fix if you are careful.
The Omni-V and Omni-VI are great radios!
