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.

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.
