Re: [Elecraft] Nine month rested 2014 K3 now only shows a blank orange screen P3 will not activate.
One thing I'd do before the EEINT is to force a firmware load as described in your owner's manual and see if that rescues it. Somehow data got corrupted to prevent a boot up. 73 Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2015 6:35 PM To: Craig Wissman; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Nine month rested 2014 K3 now only shows a blank orange screen P3 will not activate. Start with the basics - disconnect everything other than the power and a dummy load to the K3. Then power it on. If all is well in that basic configuration, then start adding the extra things one at a time to find out what is creating the problem. If the basic K3 still responds with a blank LCD screen, then try an EEINIT. Hopefully you have saved a configuration file so you can restore the configuration data after the EEINIT - if not follow the calibration steps in the manual to get back to an operational state. If that does not help, contact Elecraft support. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/12/2015 9:24 PM, Craig Wissman wrote: > An unpleasant surprise. The unit has been covered and unplugged since Feb 2015, no ant.

An unpleasant surprise. The unit has been covered and unplugged since Feb 2015, no ant. No heat, cold, moisture... I wanted to check out the 10 meter contest Dec13 utc tonight. My Astron RS- 35m says their is voltage. This is a like new little used factory built unit. Not seeing any help in manuals. Bummer. Open to suggestions to get it back. All I see is the orange screen with no data.
