BikeStuff wrote: Hey all, I have a HF-150 and after the recent power outages my radio will not turn on, nothing, nada, zip, zilch. It was plugged into a surge protected strip and was never turned on - either when the power went off or when the power came back on. My question is - is there a fuse or breaker inside? Nothing I can find on the outside. Just hoping it's something easy before I have to pack it up and send it off somewhere. Many thanks, Please reply to e-mail too if you can. Vic Rollins Richmond, VA I would suspect, and hope, that the problem is in the power supply - I assume you are using the Lowe wall-wart supply. Try it on batteries to confirm this. If it is the supply I'm afraid I have no information on it, but a suitable replacement should be relatively easy to obtain - mine normally runs off a 13.8 volt power supply which runs a lot of other equipment and is quite happy. If the power supply is good then things get more complex. From the circuit diagram in the manual there is a polarity protection diode ahead of the power switch. After the switch it splits three ways, two of which go to 5 and 8 volt regulators; so there are a number of potential failure points. Afraid that is about all the help I can offer. Dave Holford |
