Yes, it is an original. I didn't get to troll too many people, you were quick and sharp. giggle

I am curious why the USB port was cut off, and the board was somehow programmed to disable the Ethernet port (after much testing). It is in wifi only mode. Any way to fix that?

I can probably solder in a new USB port, but I already attached an ICOM A1 LAN/USB/Fan head to it to try to do a reset/restore, and it didn't seem to read from my USB drive when the 4 red light were flashing for the restore bin.

Here is what I received for dirt cheap (1st picture)

And what I made out of the parts. (2nd picture)

I swapped out the A2 board (non working LAN and USB) from one of the spare A1 boards. I still want to revive/fix the A2 board somehow.

Of the A1s only 1 board had solid red lights (with quick yellow flash on startup), and I couldn't yet do a restore on it. I would like to know how to fix this one too.

The rest work fine.

2 of the OBD heads do not power up the ICOM, so I labelled them as BAD. I would love to be able to repair those too. It isn't a ribbon problem.

From Spring-Summer 2016 Clone ICOM A1, A2, A3 have a lot of problems. A lot of bugs like KL15=0V, automatic restarting of ICOM after a few seconds after connection, missing components in A3, dead after 1-3 months etc. Need to know where to buy and need have trusted seller. Because 90% of Chinese seller forget about you after protection time is ended. Better work directly with factory or with seller who is in good contact with factory or you can drop your ICOM in recycle bin.
