[TenTec] Omni VI+ crashed

[chacuff at cableone.net]

Must be one of those evenings...

 

Was listening around on my Omni VI and all of a sudden it quit receiving, the meter needle bounced once and the display and tuning controls locked...  None of the buttons respond.  I cycled the power thinking it had gotten confused for some reason and when it powers up, no frequency display, the meter lamps are very dim and all the LED lamps for controls on the front are lit.  

 

I’m hoping it’s not the dreaded controller board failure.  

 

Anyone seen this one before.  Tried a different power supply and it did the same thing.  

 

Strange evening...

 

The Orion II still works quite well though....😊
