Batboard

My XTS5000 just quit working. It was fine one minute, then the screen went blank, and it won't power up. The battery was almost full, and I tried other batteries. I disassembled it, reseated all the ribbon cables, checked the little battery on the board. Still dead. If I were to throw new parts at it, what board is most likely the culprit, the Vocon?

I would start with checking the fuse on the RF board first.

What band is it??

The fuse on the RF board is good. It's the XTS5000 Model III UHF 403-470 MHz.

Was it running on a trunk system when it quit?

No trunking system was programmed in. I think it's hardware because I can't even read a codeplug. No backlight, no nothing.

It was the RF board. Switched it out, and it works like a champ again!

Except that it needs a full alignment, if you haven't already done that.
