Page 21 of the owners manual has reset instructions. You can find the manual at http://lmgtfy.com/?q=yaesu+ft-990+manual

If the radio developed the problem after the radio was in storage or not used for a while you might also want to check the status of the backup battery.

Also note that the batt backup can take up to a day to totally drain, this is per some FT990 users. So if you do turn the batt backup off, might want to leave it off for more than a couple minutes. Hopefully a hard reset will resolve the issue. Obviously this has happened to others before, reading some of the issues with the ft990, and most seem to fix the issue with a hard reset of the radio. And just in case have you checked your coax and antenna and all connections as well? Could have an issue there that may be attributing to the radios fault. Or not. Hope you get it resolved. Have a good day.

Does the TX LED lite when in transmit?
Does the Busy LED glow?
Is there any static in the receive?
