Default whoopsie!
Well boys....question if in the midst of transmitting I say I may have lost my ground wire on my 6 pill 2879 lipzipper and now its dead as a hammer......well it turns on but wont key.....whats the chances I smoked the pills? Was working great prior to my whoopsie....

Nothing smells "kooked" so maybe I just had a meldown on the input circuitry??

take the lid off and post some pics of the inside
might be something in the keying circuit that couldnt take the amps the ground wire was providing

haha hook the ground wire back up lmao. I AM an ex aircraft electrician lol
give me some credit. Theres nothing to see on pics. Nothing is smoked burned melted or otherwise molested....My best guess is i took out the NPC transistor that controls the keying

all fixed.... as I had hoped all I did was pop the diode on the input but I replaced the triac too since I was in there since I found some time last nite with nothing to do so I repaired it. Thanks guys for the help.
