I've seen a reference online to an internal fuse. I have
downloaded the service manual and will review.<br>

<font face="Verdana">Well, there is much sadness around my QTH
today... I think I killed my TS-2000.<br>
<br>
I've had my TS2000 for a few months now and I'm loving it! The
only issue I've had with it was on a very hot day last month
it did shutdown (power off) during xmit. It came back on
almost immediately. It happened a few times that day. I
caulked it up to a thermal protection shutdown.<br>
<br>
Today, which was quite mild by comparison, it happened again.
Only this time, it did not come back on. It is completely dead
- no response to power button at all. I had done a pretty
heavy FT8 session earlier in the hour (I work FT8/4 almost
exclusively) but was working a POTA site on SSB at the time of
the shutdown (sorry. HI8PAP - I didn't mean to disappear in
the middle of the QSO!). The fan was running at the time,
which is normal, but the radio did not seem at all warm.<br>
<br>
I've confirmed the voltage on the supply cable (at the radio
connector), disconnected everything else, and tried a Full
Reset - nada. The AT was activated and I had recently done a
tune on the active band. The SWR meter on the radio barely
moved during xmit. There were no obvious 'POP's or signs of
the magic smoke, just the normal power-off sound.<br>
<br>
Is it dead, Jim? Anyone know a good repair tech?<br>
