hmmmm, that shouldn't have affected anything, I can only assume you may have shorted something out during the exercise :( ?

EDIT ... OK, here's a link to the service manual

https://elektrotanya.com/icom_ic-r71_service_manual.pdf/download.html

it's going to take some work on your part to sort out if the AM stage has its power rails etc working

have fun, ask for help where needed ....
what test gear do you have ?

It was acting flakey before the change .....would cutout like now ,but I could turn it on and off and it would pop back on.

OK .... maybe then just a coincidence that it finally failed full time ?

Ya I think it's gone ...I have most test equip....also a skeemat for it ...might have lost the detector diode on the front end. Just wondered if anyone else ever had this problem with this unit ....
