Problem with my Alinco DJ-X2000 says unlock? please advise

[majestic36]

Hi i have a Alinco DJ-X2000 scanner it was working fine but now it says UNLOCK on the screen also the screen is very dim like the battery is flat but its not if you no what i meen all the buttons are pressing just theres no sound and a dim screen saying UNLOCK

I have done some some googling and found out its though running the scanner from the drop in charger instead of just charging the scanner in the off state

I have the scamatics and can solder fine but i just dont no where to look to fix it can some kind person point me in the right place to check out some parts that might of gone

My guess, PLL Unlock.
You will need a service manual for the alingment procedure.
The service manual on the Alinco site is nothing more
than block diagrams, PCB layouts and a parts list.

I have not seen one available in a downloadable format.
You might want to contact Alinco and get the part number for a FULL service manual, make sure it includes
alignment procedures, NOT the free one. They may sell them direct. If not, I’m sure any Alinco dealer would
be happy to sell you one. The bigger dealerships like HRO and AES may have one in stock.
