Is our OM5P-AN radio busted?

One day, our radio worked just fine and was able to communicate with the Driver Station flawlessly.

Now, all of a sudden, it does nothing when we power the robot up. No lights appear on the radio. No signal is emitted.

But we know for sure that voltage is getting through the power cable.

Since buying a new radio is expensive, we'd like to know additional ways to troubleshoot before using up even more of our budget?

Re: Is our OM5P-AN radio busted?

Just to check, are you sure the power cable is still plugged in to your VRM in the 5V slots 12V slots?

Needs 12v

It won't work at 5v
