K3 shuts down

[Stephen]

My K3 has worked flawlessly since I got it over a year ago, until
yesterday. It now shuts down if the power is advanced over 11 watts (pa
in). The power supply seems to be ok as it runs my TS 850 at 100 watts
without complaint. I have checked and swapped cables between the K3 and
my dummy load. I did a reconfiguration. The K3 provides no error
messages, but the display dims and flickers just before it shuts down.
Am I missing something obvious?
Steve, K5SI

Triple check the power input connector(s) and cable.  Make sure they are
clean, no black burned marks, etc. Sounds like a power delivery problem to
me.
