K3 - CW Paddle input failure

[w4sec]

I turned on my K-3 #3096 today and it seems that the paddle "tip" input has stopped working. The sleeve input works FB. I have swapped dits & dahs on the tip/ring in the menu, and the problem stays on the tip input. Checked my Paddle/cable - all is well there. Before I dive head first into troubleshooting, is there any known hardware/software/illegal menu settings that i might have missed?
Thanks,
-Pete

Blazing ahead, I found that RFC3 (100uh choke on the "dot" input) has opened up. besides infant part failure, I don't know what could have caused that - Unless it was my blazing cw speed on the last contest that was more than it could handle ;)!! Or perhaps they designed in a LID fuse!! Anyway, I guess I need to order me a single 100uh SMD choke.
thanks for the replies.
73s,
Pete
