After 8 years of flying with a trouble-free A210 installation, I started the plane up yesterday only to find that the radio wouldn't power up (or at least the display wouldn't come on and I couldn't hear anything on the frequency it was set to when I last used it). I checked the fuse at the avionics buss and the ground for good contact--no issues there.
I'm aware of the long-standing issue of the ribbon cable, but given that I haven't moved the radio since it was installed, at least 10 years ago, I'm a bit skeptical that is the issue (though it would be great if that's all it was).
Before I try to contact Icom and get asked to send the unit in for what I'm expecting to be an exhorbitant amount of money, any troubleshooting ideas? Anyone had the same thing happen? I didn't see a similar situation in the thread archives. Would love to get back in the air as soon as possible.
Thanks.
