And I'm almost certain the culprit is a faulty power supply in a mobile.
I was using a different truck than I normally drive and had the cb plugged into the cigarette lighter. Here's what I know:
1.When I put the radio back in my car it immediately blew the fuse in the lighter plug.
2. When using the same plug in my dc power supply at home, the power indicator light on the plug will flash off/on but will work fine with other radios. The radio in question however, will not light up.
3. My cell phone died that same night after being charged in the same receptacle. Fortunately it was an iphone 3gs that I will be updating in August so a $45 (with warranty) used one off ebay fit the bill. I'm still pissed, but it could've been worse.
My questions are what did I break and is it an easy fix for a guy with mediocre soldering skills and limited technical knowledge?
