Motorola XPR2500 can not boot

[lz1mak]

Hello,
Just bought Motorola XPR2500 with power supply from eBay.
The radio can not boot or something. Just getting the message "Motorola" and after 2-3 seconds it turns off. To try to turn it on again, I have to turn off/on the power supply first. Tried with another power supply - the same result.
What do you think, is the radio dead?
Thank you and 73 de lz1mak, Marin

Possible that it needs 12v connected to the ignition sense pin?

The seller was damm smart. We exchanged more than 20 messages, thinking the radio can be locked with password. He didn't mention that it powers on only for two seconds. Than he said that will reduce the price with 50bucks. Tooks down the listing, and relisted it with the new price/offer I received. I was driving to work, when we exchanged last message, and directly bought it, without checking the "new" description where he added that the radio can not be turned on.
Also by chance or whatever, when I received the parcel, on the label of the box was missing the name/address of the seller (uls). Strange

Ah yes I've been watching that ebay listing for a while. Well, I'll give you $50 for it...

Well, still wouldn’t hurt to try supplying 12v to the ignition sense pin. Looks like it is pin 10 on the accessory connector.

Unless it was listed as parts or repair only under "condition", you can open a not as described case, and eventually you'll get your money back for the obviously hot radio.
