Hi Kevin, The typical ICF-2010 "Error 3" indication comes from a poor or corroded negative (ground) connection between the battery slot's spring connector and an adjacent circuit board. Since this connection is not soldered but relies only on mechanical contact from spring pressure, over time, the connection becomes corroded and unreliable. Any 2010 that operates OK on a power adapter but has an "Error 3" on batteries is most likely suffering from this problem, which is an easy fix once the mechanical connection is cleaned up and the spring pressure restored (or the connection soldered, a permanent solution). 73, Gary In a message dated 5/15/2009 8:07:49 P.M.

What did you do to fix it? Seems like a mechanical problem to me.
