Cobra Cxt 545 Hand Sets Turn On But Many Functions Non Responsive

My Cobra hand sets are approx. 1.5 years old. Very little use. I haven't used them for several months. I turned them on today and they went to channel 5 unprompted . Sound tones will emit when buttons are pushed, back light will come on and off, call other set works , display lights up , but other functions such as change channels, volume control, mode, scan etc are unresponsive.Any suggestions.ThanksKevin

Hi! Please have the internal boards checked. The several months of no use may have corroded or damaged the board, especially the part that detects inputs from the buttons.


Hope this helps! If it does, please click on the Accept Answer button. I will greatly appreciate it! :)
