Sometimes a firmware upgrade solves the problem as well.

Try to do a slightly different firmware upgrade. It requires an identical working radio that has not been upgraded yet to the upgrade level that you have available. The reason for this is that you cannot do an identical upgrade.

Start the upgrade with the working radio. When the screen tells you to flip the switch and remove and replace the battery, do all this, but switch the radio with the defective radio.

What you are doing here in the first step is verifying that the radio is upgradeable. The software will see that it is.
In the second step, the software now forces the upgrade in the switched defective radio.

This procedure worked for me several times. It does not change the serial numbers etc. On the other hand, if possible, doing this with two different models will likely produce some interesting results.

The above does require you to have or make the attachment needed for doing upgrades that can be found here. http://www.batlabs.com/images/hln9742.gif
This is assuming that there is nothing else wrong with the radio.
