Hi All My ic7000 is not showing anything on the display no frequency etc.It does receive the squelch works and if you are lucky you can sometimes find a frequency that is in use and copy the audio.This has happened before after it was left turned for most of the day but is now becoming more frequent.If it does come on by sliding the font panel off I can measure 3.3 v on one pin on the radio side.Any help appreciated

Hi Morrie, I had a similar problem with my 7000, I ended up replacing the ribbons but you might want to try just sliding them around a little within the sockets without actually pulling them out. These ribbons are all getting a bit long in the tooth now and by replacing all of them, most of my intermittent problems vanished.

Greetings: I have found that removing the front panel, then using Q-Tips and alcohol to clean the mating contacts on both the panel AND the transceiver chassis will fix this and other similar problems. The contact surface area is so small that the slightest amount of dust, muck, etc., can cause problems. I've had my 7K since 2009 (moving it between a house, car, RV, and boat over the years) and have had to do this a few times. 73, Bob, WB2DWD

Hi Hoffy I sprayed some contact cleaner down the cables where I could as they were tight and I didn't want to do more damage as I have no spares.Appears to be working at the moment will just have to wait

Have you tried the video output to see if that is working?

FWIW -- That was my experience with an IC-706mk2, which uses the same "remote cable" connectors. Q-Tips and alcohol is the first thing to try. . Charles / va7cpc

I use DeOxit on all connectors whenever I work on a radio or other electronics.
https://caig.com/deoxit-d-series/ Widely used in pro recording studios and other locations where connections are critical. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=deoxit+d5&crid=3GL6VXQ5QLXUY&pldnSite=1&sprefix=deox%2Caps%2C275&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_4 It is a real problem solver and preventer. 73 W6RH

I've had good success when using DeoxIT D5 for cleaning connections.

I have sprayed the associated ribbon cables with contact cleaner and
has been running for the last four days and still going so hope this
is the last of the problem.
