Icom IC-910H faults and fixes

[VK5PJ]

Hi,
I thought it might be handy to have a thread to record the faults and possible fixes for the very popular IC-910H. I am working on the pre-driver FET replacement in my 910 so will start a thread on that and link that into this 'master' thread.

Here is the link to a thread started by VK4UH about his IC-910

Has anyone come across this particular problem I'm having with my 910H, Just bought second hand unused for several years.
When I try to operate in Satellite mode on FM for the SO-50 Hamsat the readout starts scrolling down in frequency but only in FM mode if in SSB it acts as it should. I have checked to see if the "Scan" button is stuck but it's not and SSB would scroll down as well if that was the case.
What am I missing?
Is this a known issue for anyone else?
How do I fix it? As the Satellite function is so much better than using 2 radios and manually adjusting for the dopler shift.

Thanks

Steve, FFC (flat flexible cable) usually comes in 0.5 and 1.0mm pitch.

Element14 have various FFC and found this on eBay.

Not sure what length is required.
Got rid of my 910 18 months ago.
These old rigs are ticking time bombs.
