Yeah, I agree LC.

KAOS: It's times like that that one needs to clean all of the solder joints on the bottom with an old tooth brush and some rubbing alcohol over an old newspaper and then rinse with clean alcohol. Then, examine all of the solder joints with a magnifying glass looking for incomplete solder joints, solder blobs, or solder joints that look dull grey after they have been cleaned.

Fixed more than a few radios doing just that w/o any other parts needed. Some radios are worse than others in that regard. Galaxies and RangerUSA made Cobras were the worst so far - IMO . . .YMMV . . .
