Got an Yaesu VX-6 radio? Need your help

[Phil]

Almost certainly a duff battery. Even when the batery is apparently charged, does the screen read “charging error”? Either way, it sounds just like my VX-7R.

Batteries America, US$45, recommended:

May also be available through Amazon.

The unit powered up with the DC charger cable directly plugged into the EXT DC jack, and all memories are fine. When transmit is attempted it shuts down as the charging current is not sufficient - that's fine with me.

I tried to turn it on, and initially nothing happened then later something turned on, and later things got weird - the processor came on partially, LEDs turned on, and then squeals. Then it went away.
