Look up the reset procedure for that rig and hope it works. I also agree
with the other poster, try an external power supply.

First of all, wrong news group. BUT - possibility of two things comes
quickly to mind. Enough power in battery pack to only light up the display
which doesn't take much. AND/OR - LCD display is shot.

I just went to my first hamfest and I am disappointed. I bought a
Alinco dr590 that the guy said worked great. WHen I got it home,
everything in the display lights up, but only sqigially lines where the
numbers go. Pressing all the buttons does nothing. I can not even hear
static. I can power it off and on however.

What could this be and is it repairable? The radio is about 10 years
old. Can I repair this myself? WHat should I do from here?
