OK. New display arrived and fitted and still had an issue. Like a key of a keybd was stuck or a jammed button on a remote. OH WAIT!!! I recall seeing the power button disk slightly offset. FFS that was it.

It may not be of much use to you but I have found a UK company that claims to have replacement screens. https://radio-hire.co.uk/shop/accessories/sku/tyt-md-9600-replacement-lcd-screen Colin G4EML Thanks Colin.

Done that. Tricky little buggar that one

Still no joy.

I think the front panel is toast

The ENT key doesn't work!!! No keys work as they should!. And it powers on straight away

Hi everyone Today my MD9600 turned itself on but it wouldn't respond to most buttons/knobs. Once I got home I fiddled with a few things and now it powers on straight away (without pressing and buttons) can get it into boot mode and I have flashed various versions including the latest all with no cha...
