    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    Latest. I have sent it to a pro. Mainly as I suspect one or more transistors and I am not experienced with SMD components. For anyone with same issues I will share here once I know precisely what has failed and maybe why. I have a related question if any can help? Given you can mod to 11m...

    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    OK so for anyone interested I have now checked the mic connector and confirm continuity to the main board. Shorting out the PTT line to ground (as the mic does) still does not result in TX. It is possibly unrelated but there is a transistor TIP 36C, I am wondering if this controls TX switching...

    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    Many thanks. I think rather than risk sending back to France under warranty (although this is another sore point as I think the retailer should replace and take up with CRT direct) I will open her up and check those connections. It is sounding like a poor connection. A week earlier it was...

    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    Many thanks. Yes using adapter. Neither mic working. I've gently cleaned connectors too. Looking online at internal pics it looks to as if there's a 4 way cable from behind mic socket to main board. Can anyone please confirm if this carries the mic signal and switching?

    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    That's a great question and something I just checked. No response at all! Again I'm thinking loose internal connection?

    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    Thank you for this. I do occasionally use a Turner +3b with it, never had an issue until now. It's never been opened up so in theory is covered by the 2 year warranty. It's annoying as to send it back is risky in itself. I guess it could be as simple as a loose internal ribbon cable or...

    CRT SS 7900V Turbo (latest version) Service Mode? (And more tricks)...

    Hi all, I see many comments about CRT not responding. Not good as I just sent them a note. I wonder if anyone here can help with a specific issue. My year old 7900v Turbo has stopped keying up. RX remains. It's not the mic or connector at fault. I suspected software issue so reset and issue...
