[TenTec] Re USB button not working

Mon Jun 3 14:50:25 EDT 2013

Tnx for the ideas.  The button also doesn't appear to do anything with ATTN or with the TX sub option under MENU.  All other buttons seem ok.  I removed the front panel and reseated connectors but no joy.  Looking at the schematic tbutton switch seems to be mounted on the lcd circuit board and goes via traces to an encoder chip on the same board so there are no connectors involved that I can see. So looks like a return to factory.
