Before you do anything, replace EVERY tag tantalum capacitor.
Then it will probably work.

We have a 517 at work and I have the same model at home.
Each time I went to use the work one, it was dead.
I'd spend a few hours finding the fault, a shorted tant.
Same fault every time, different tant.
Since I have replaced the lot, it has been great.
I bought mine at a ham fest, labeled "parts only",
I replaced every tant, and it works fine.

I can help ypu with a copy of the 513,516,517 manual.
