I had this same problem with a brand new, unmodified Icom 740. I took the case off to install an accessory. Tested it with the case off and it worked fine. Reinstalled the case and nothing. I left the rig running as I took the case off. As I backed one screw out, it suddenly came to life. Turn in back in, and nothing. Only after I got the case off did I find two different lengths of case screws. Never saw (or have seen) it mentioned anywhere. After I got the screws sorted, it was all good. Now I keep screws in the same order as I removed them - on everything!
