I was cleaning around the shack and had the 12 VDC power removed from my Paragon 585 (not a Paragon II) for an hour or so. When I hooked it back up and turned on the 585, the controls are not working and the display is not there. I have tried the RESET button on the right hand side of the rig, and this does not fix it. I have not yet opened it up and checked the voltage of the 9V NiCad memory battery. It has been connected to 12 VDC power for a day now, and I would expect that battery to have recharged by now. If that battery is dead will the radio not work, or will there just be no memory when the radio is powered off? Are there any other reset methods I need to try? Hold a certain button while powering up?

Thanks DE N6KB
