There is an FT950 Yahoo group where such questions are often asked.  Some 
950's have had a cable come loose connecting the front panel to a particular 
circuit board.  Others have done a firmware upgrade to the 950 but used the 
wrong one (there are two series of FT950s with different DSP chips in them). 
I have heard good things about Yaesu tech support; several people have 
called there and gotten good advice.  I can't think of anything else.
