As someone who's spent 25 years doing component level troubleshooting (and more years as a ham radio hobbyist), I can say that you did some really good detective work.

Very nice demostration of your troubleshooting skills Peter. I enjoy these type of videos. thanks for sharing and 73

Another great video, Peter. I have found that most hams dabble somewhat in electronics. I guess it's just part of ham radio. But most hams cannot repair their own radios unless they are a working technician. Your troubleshooting techniques are par to none. You always seem to go to the correct spot for testing. 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

Great job Peter. I have had the same issue in a IC-756PRO3, warn PA unit in RX with bias in as well. It was a leakage voltage in RX/TX switch stage.Thanks for another great video, stay safe my dear friend. 73s Pasquale IW0HEX
