I carry a Icom A6 as a backup radio. This past weekend we were headed to Cabin Creek Landing for a Homeowners meeting and fly-in. Had to drive to do other stuff going on, but brought my radio anyway since we were camping on the field.
Radio was secure in a bag in the back....but the 5 gallon water jug got tipped over and filled the bag. Radio was soaked for <5 minutes. I pulled the battery and drained everything. then set everything opened up on the hood to dry out. It took 1/2 a day to get all the moisture off the display screen.
Today I popped the battery back in and it seemed to power up ok. BUT the display shows "OVER V" and nothing else works.
Any ideas to try before I send it somewhere for service or is it toast?![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
