Help! Ailunce HD-1 "Radio State Killed" ... how do I unkill it?

[sefrischling]

My HD-1 has been doing great, but this evening it fell from a standing position, face first into the table, and now I have a purple screen that says "Radio State Killed." The light on the top is red.

Anyone encounter this ? How do I unkill it without my laptop?

if not, can I unkill it with my laptop?

Literally, dog knocked the table, radio fell over onto the table, and now it shows as killed.

Does not sound like a very rugged product. Is it under warranty?

The radio has been in and out of severe weather and a few fires, so I wouldn't say it has a rugged issue.

I have it hooked up to the laptop and now it asks for a password ... I never entered a password. Anyone had their HD-1 enter "Killed" mode?

Well OK ... completely reformatted the radio and reloaded it. All seems to be well now.

When your done in China try Japan, i lost a Yaesu in a snowball fight , i found it the easy way CRUCH!, as I backed out of my parking space , retrieved my radio and though the display was destroyed and never worked again for a short series of radios back then ( started with FT 530 wich was one of my first radios) they made a 2 pin mic (commonly now on baofeng /Kenwood radios) that had a complete display on speaker mic , i still have that mic somewhere ? Anyway I continued to use that radio for almost 5 more years, after driving over it an crushing it into the snow and ice with my car. Some radios are legendary it did morning an evening drive time having probably logged another 20,000 QSO in the days before laptops and cell phones I used index cards to record all my contacts ,lots of scribbles on scratchpad's carried over to my spiral bound cards ...enjoy the hobby my friend .

The Japanese do know how to build a radio. The story I recall is that the ham radios sold in the US were derived from models built and tested in the Japanese market for years before export. The Japanese were also keen to get some US commercial market so the quality was very good. The low cost radios from China are unfortunately built to the lowest possible parts count and are not built to any commercial performance specs like TIA/603D.

Back in the day I was always wanting a standard, then standard horizon , i run a bunch of there speakers decommissioned from fire service vehicles great audio even today and they have to be 20 years old if a day .
