Motorola Walkie-Talkie will not turn on.

posted by aimeliabodel on Nov 14, 2008


One of the walkie-talkies turns on fine, but the other will not. I have checked the batteries and they are fully charged. An orange light on the top of the walkie-talkie faintly glows when the battery is in, but when I turn on the walkie-talkie, the screen does not turn on. Could there be any water damage or is it locked somehow?

It is hard to give you an answear without loking at the radio. What type of Motorola radio is it and have you dropped it in water at any time?

Unfortunately problems involving electronics don't fix them self. If the radio did not work and then it worked after a day or two then it is quite possible that you did have water in the radio. if this is the case. then you will probaly have more problems in the short future as the contaminants from the water start to destroy the board. In this case the best thing to do is open the radio and use an electronics parts cleaner like the tuner cleaner from radio shack and clean the board. Trust me, I have had many customers that have ignored the problem and it cost them later.

Good Luck
