Doug,
The trial of the rig with another known good power supply or battery is a first step.

If that works, you know the problem is in the 262G.
Don't over look wire and connector problems.

Someone mentioned the power transistor failing, and only the driver transistor in a regulator working until the load is applied. That is certainly a consideration.

Something may have failed in the power supply to cause an RF effect causing shutdown, although this is less likely, if you are testing with coax to a dummy load that is shielded.

Things like loose connections bad solder joints and other conditions that could affect normal current flow under load must be eliminated along the way.
