Astro Spectra W9 boot fail

[Carl]

hi,
i just received a VHF W9 Astro Spectra and it don't want to open properly. Everything was tested with 3 different astron power supplys. I connect the orange and green wire comming from the remote head to the + on the power supply. The ON/OFF switch on the head is at on, the only thing happen is the radio backlights and option buttons open and 2 seconds after everything close. the display also do the same. What it can be ?

inhibited?

[Will]

No power to the radio.

Like Will indicated, you need to add the =12 volts to the heavy power cable going to
the radio. Without it, the radio will not power up.

Jim

No power to the radio.

No power to the radio.

If that were the case I'd expect the head to throw a Fail 01/90. It's obviously got enough of a ground to let some power flow through the head.

To the OP, do you have another head, another drawer, or another set of cables you might try, as a process of elimination? Might also be helpfull to post the model and other information shown on the radio body.
