<DIV>Thanks to all that responded. Yes, the problem was that piece which is a fuse (is not a diode as someone suggested). It is 2-3 amp fuse base on the responds I got. The quick solution is just to bypass the fuse. I know, that eliminates the protection but our chargers already have the protection so should not be a problem.</DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Its a blown fuse Vince. This sometimes happens because of a temporary short when plugging or unplugging the charge jack, especially if using an aftermarket adapter. You can either send it in or if handy with a soldering iron and if you can find the part locally, replace it yourself. Its a dumb design that requires the user to send equipment in for repair because of a blown fuse, but there it is. Great radio otherwise.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
