[Yaesu] FT1000MP Does not power up for 4 to 5 minutes

[Carl Lester]

No, not the slow diplay on power up.  Sounds like your second problem, which means I'm likely heading for a dead power supply.  
 
Thanks,

  Your mp is not turning on at all or has the issue where the display 
is slow to come on?

  My 1000mp sometimes has the slow display issue. But a couple of years 
ago it developed a problem that intermittently the internal PS does not 
come up at all for a few seconds/minutes then eventually hours. After a 
number of months the PS failed completely and I ran the rig on 13.8v 
until I could ship it off for repairs.
