HR2510 Display


Check the caps and also check the voltage regulators on the CPU board to see if the glue under them is dry and shorting them, check for proper voltage.
This same glue when dried out can eat away the fine traces on the board beneath the glue.
Sometimes just carefully lifting the regulators from the glue will bring the display back to life, but it is a very good idea to carefully remove all the glue under them and examine the fine traces under it.
As I have said many times before, these radios are good little rigs, but they are getting old, and showing signs of age........

I had 5 of these, now just 3, and each one had a different reason for the display being out. Caps on the CPU board, caps on the display board, regulator, glue corroded traces, diode. There are a few threads I posted in with some good tips. But as has been said, look at the glue traces, check the regulators and caps, reseat all the connectors on the CPU board.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
