SEND IT TO MOTOROLA FOR FLASH UPGRADE. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE RADIOS.

A flash upgrade ain't gonna fix a power problem! I know of 8 MCS2000's that burnt holes thru the PC board because of faulty power supplies.

Call your Moto rep first as the department that had the 8 above ended up with a tech from Schaumburg coming out and is replacing the whole fleet (10) for nothing.

(I'm thinking, Motorola did this? wow! and we all thought that they were starting to suck!)

The service manual lists it as "Fatal Hardware Fault - Defective IC". Doesn't say which IC though...
