[TenTec] ORION I Issue

[Carl Moreschi]

I have seen things like this happen a few times to my Orion.  The 
problem is there are a lot of connections to the microprocessor with 
cables.  These cable connections can fail, especially with lack of use.

Fortunately, it is an easy fix.  Remove the Orion front panel.  You will 
see several multi-pin cable connections.  Unplug and replug each of 
these connectors at least 5 times.  The action of unplugging and 
replugging will clean them.

Then put everything back together again and all will be fine.

If that doesn't fix it, then do a battery reset followed by a main reset.
