Ugh, after spending several hours programming my new 996T last night, I took it out to my truck this morning to listen to it on the way in to work to see how it worked. Because I am not ready to do the permanant install until later this week, I was going to use the cigarette lighter plug to power it. Well, you know it would happen - as I tried to plug the plug into the back of the scanner, an arc occured. Heck, it was strong enough to leave a tiny burn mark on the back next to the female plug.
Now I don't have any power to the scanner at all. I even tried it on someone else's truck with no luck. Naturally, I left the wall-wart at home, so I can't try it out that way.
Anyway, anyone know if there is an internal fuse on this, or am I just out of luck until I can this this thing shipped off to Uniden customer service?
