[TenTec] Orion II failure

[Carl Moreschi]

Remove the front panel and remove all the connectors, spray them with a 
good contact cleaner, then plug and unplug them several times.  That has 
fixed several Orion's lately.

The bar graph for the second receiver appears to working okay.  Waiting a few more seconds, the display slowly faded out to nearly white. I switched the O2 off and on and it came back okay. Then after a few seconds it repeated the same symptoms. Right now it is off and I'm letting it cool down to see if that makes a difference.
