Blank display on K3 power on

E Glenn Wolf Jr
All -

I turned on my K3 this afternoon and was greeted by a blank display.  I
found that I couldn't turn the radio off using the front panel button so
I pulled the power.  After plugging the power back in, I tried again.  
A blank display.  Since I had a backup I opted to try a reset (shift
LO-power on) and the radio hangs at the EE INIT display.

Is there anything else I can try to bring the radio back to life?

TIA -
Glenn

No wise words. But I'd try first connecting to it
with the K3 Utility.

Glenn,

Fire up K3 Utility and first read the HELP section on forcing a firmware
load.  Follow those instructions and load all firmware.

If that does not work, contact K3support.
