I am having a problem with a Motorola Spectra. I have a vhf analog with an A5 head that is working with no problems (P/N HLN6337D). I also have an 800mHz analog model with an A5 head (P/N HLN6075D) that will not power on. The power protection diode was ok. The small green fuse on the control board was ok. I had power into the DB15 plug for ignition sense. So I checked the circuitry of the two control heads (visually) and here is what I found:
On the attached pictures I labeled the Damaged one and the Not Damaged one. The unit that will not power on was obviously damaged. This is right behind where the power button makes contact with the board to turn on the radio.
Has anyone seen this damage before? Thoughts on repairing vs. replacing?

Going to use the to monitor here locally in Russellville!
Thanks,
