A Horus owner accidentally shorted positive and negative pins in the Futaba tTrainer connector. As he says, there is a full battery voltage there.
After this, his Horus doesn't power on with the power button at all. He says the radio does power on when he unplugs and plugs the battery in again. When that is done, the radio works fine until power off. But after he switches the power off (with the power button), his Horus doesn't turn on anymore until the battery is reconnected again.
He checked the internals and says the U14 looks suspicious:
Can it be related to the power on issue?
Unfortunately, the marking on this IC is not very readable...

U14 (a AM5521C) is the main soft power switch, and is most probably damaged.

The difficult we do immediately,
The impossible takes a little longer!

Re: Horus: doesn't power on unless the battery is reconnected
Thanks a lot, Mike!
I can't seem to find any source for these (ebay / aliexpress are of no help, either). Do you know of any replacement that could fit? Or maybe a store that offers the AM5521C itself (preferably in quantities of less than a reel...)?

If the radio is a Horus X12 then a replacement board is available here..

Exactly what it says, the 6-axis sensor module.
