I have a Baofeng UV-82 that was programmed, I downloaded the codeplug, added a frequency then uploaded the new codeplug to the radio.

When I went to turn the radio back on, there was only a faint display visible on the top line.

It looks like a series of black rectangles. Doesn't go beyond that, no channel, no frequency, none of the keys respond. I tried taking the battery out and turning it back on... no help.

Tried downloading front the radio... nothing.

Is the radio bricked or is there something else that I can try ?

tnx
