Yeah I took the radio completely apart and noticed a wheel like ballast that had melted on the back of the motherboard. It's round, white with gold wire wrapped around it. Don't know if it is a ballast but looks like it. Not sure if that's why it doesn't power on but possible. I swapped power supply boards with the explorer radio and it works so I know it's not that. I might unsolder that wheel off of the explorer board and solder it onto the ranger radio to see if it works. Luckily it was only a $20 waste rather than a $50 waste for the salvage radio.
