I just received a used IC-2820H in the mail today and the fan doesn't run. 10 minutes on simplex with Mole tonight and it got hot and shut the power down to 5W. Opened it up and it's all connected, no loose wires either inside the radio or at the fan. Tried all three fan settings in the menu too.
I've either got to figure this out, or return it. There isn't a local shop that stocks parts that I can take it to, so I'd basically have to ship it off to Icom to diagnose.
I'd just order up a fan, but don't know if there's a good chance that it could be something on the board rather than the fan itself. Is the thermostat part of the fan assembly, or is it somewhere on the board? I hate just crossing my fingers and ordering parts in hopes that I guessed right. If i could at least confirm that the thermostat was part of the fan assembly, I'd feel a hell of a lot better about a hail Mary parts order.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks...
