[TenTec] Paragon brains gone

[Ken Brown]

I was cleaning around the shack and had the 12 VDC power removed from my 
Paragon 585 (not a Paragon II) for an hour or so. When I hooked it back 
up and turned on the 585, the controls are not working and the display 
is not there. I have tried the RESET button on the right hand side of 
the rig, and this does not fix it. I have not yet opened it up and 
checked the voltage of the 9V NiCad memory battery. It has been 
connected to 12 VDC power for a day now, and I would expect that battery 
to have recharged by now. If that battery is dead will the radio not 
work, or will there just be no memory when the radio is powered off? Are 
there any other reset methods I need to try? Hold a certain button while 
powering up?
