ATU not working

[sozi81]

Hello everyone.

I have this issue with my trustworthy Elecraft KX3.
Never had an issue - always well working. Few weeks ago I decided to replace
batteries and after manipulating a little bit with the Elecraft fully open
(I tighten up some screws of the dissipator) .... i closed up the enclosure
and I transmitteed without any problem.

The day after ATU stopped working
Please see video hereby attached

The 25.4:1 SWR indicates there is no antenna connected.  Check the antenna connection to the ATU board.  You may have dislodged it while replacing batteries.

Yes.  Exercise courtesy.

1. Since Elecraft makes more than one product, show the model designation in the SUBJECT line.

2. Sign the post with name and call sign.

Hi,
thanks for your advices.

My name is Antonio - Callsign is IZ0JOJ aka F4VQW aka M0HKH.
You're right - I should have said "thanks in advance" - sorry to be
unpolite.

How can I edit the line with Elecraft KX3 in my title post?
I am sorry to be unprecise but it's my first time I wrote in a mailing list.

It's a kind of tunnel / back in the past now considered we're in the era of
Forum / PhpB / Whatsapp / Facebook.

If can somebody help I would appreciate.
Yes, I check the BNC connector - looks solid and no short. Connected to the
ATU.
I would check ribbon cable now... or do you think I should do a FULL FACTORY
RESET?

Thanks in ADVANCE
