| Subject: | Icom a210 display problems |
Less than 30 hours on unit, but out of warranty. Radio works well for a while,
then without warning display will dim then disappear. Dial lights are still on
and can transmit and receive but nothing showing on display. Have already replaced
the ribbon cable.. No problem for 10 hours of flying, then problem started
again. Power off and on works sometimes, but most times display does not light
up. Even tried turning dimmer function off.
Any ideas?

Ship it to Icom with a letter explaining the issue. They are a whole lot better
to deal with than Garmin. I had a squelch issue on mine out of warranty they
fixed for a reasonable amount. IIRC shipping and repairs including a software
update was less than $100

The A210 has an EL display and I would start by looking at the voltages supplied
to it. The service manual shows IC75, a BD9001F IC supplying 16V and IC2, an
NJM2307001 IC supplying 3V.
Email me if you'd like me to email you the service manual (a 10MB file).

Thanks Joe, but I am not that tech savvy. Best I can do is clean the basic contacts
and remove the ribbon cable, but beyond that I would be dangerous. [Shocked]

Any chance they made the squelch more effective for you?
thanks

Yes, the issue I had was continuous open squelch, they said it was in spec but
tightened it up for me. I bought it from a shop in Canada, then when I needed
service shipped it to Icom America. That was a mistake evidently, somehow they
are two separate entities and could not/would not warrant it. Wasn't too happy
about, but still least the charge was reasonable. Seems like it was $35, then
shipping both ways.

Thanks Tim
That's funny because I purchased in USA but am in Canada. I rather
suspected that mine would have to go back to the US.
A dsub capacitor filter on the leads to my glass ADI helped a bit but
even with the radio on a separate battery I have to use the max squelch
setting.
It is a lot more sensitive than the older A200. Good to know they can
apparently adjust it and I'll talk to them again.
