[TenTec] MAJOR dead Orion problem with update

[Jeffrey Griffin]

 I tried to update to ver 1.363 tonight. I now have no display . Here's what
happened. Downloaded the update, and installed no problem. After I did the
reset, all appeared OK, had display, heard audio etc. I then hit the user1
restore to restore my various setting's the screen then went blank.  I then
tried to reload the update, once again no problem, but no display, I then
went back to level 1.358 still no display, I then did a complete full reset,
memories filters, no display I get a system loaded display upon turn on, but
then all I get is a line across the bottom of the display, and a non
functioning Orion, no audio, nothing. I wouldn't load my user1 or user2
settings if I were you. DON'T DO IT!

 Looks like my Orion is going to make another trip to the factory tomorrow,
it still has the headphone audio problem previously mentioned, which is now
intermittent. I talked to Paul at the TenTec hamfest about the headphone
audio problem, and played some recorded sound files I made of good and bad
headphone audio, it was a new one to him. We figured a cold solder joint or
such as when it happens, it is after warmup. I can get around the problem by
taking the transciever apart, and placing a fan to move air across the
problem area. Or sometimes it doesn't happen, so I leave the rig on all
weekend. I was then going to send it in after the CQWW contest, with
instruction's to keep till fixed. Not a happy camper here....
