Repairing Black Display Screen on Ten-Tec Orion II

(Bob K8IA posted this info to the Ten-Tec Reflector on 16Dec16)

I turned the Orion II on and no screen appeared, just blank/black. No light visible from the sides or from the front. Meter light and the switch LED's look normal. Screen is black. . . .

As of 12/14/16, my Orion II is successfully repaired now, thanks to good friend Kevin W9CF. What had failed was some component(s) on the 12v to 1800v inverter board that powers the cfl backlight.

A new inverter board ,TDK CXA-L0612A-VJL, has the radio up and running like new.
