ZWO ASI1600 stopped working

Hello all, I have the ZWO native drivers and the ASCOM drivers on my PC. I have been using the camera successfully for some time without issues. Suddenly my 1600ProMM will not connect via the ZWO native drivers in my NINA astronomy software. I tried to use ASI Studio and I can see the camera but it won't connect and crashes the program straight away. In NINA I can connect the camera using the ASCOM driver. However if I take an image when the image completes it does not finish and does not save the image and just freezes at that point. I have my ASI174 guide camera and the EFW plugged into my 1600 camera and both units connect and work normally. In both NINA and ASI Studio I can connect to my ASI174 guide camera and take images. I have tried connecting everything to another computer and got the same results as above so I don't believe it is PC issue or a usb cable issue given these devices are connecting normally. My power supply is the same supply I have been using for some time and other devices connected to it are working normally.

I have contacted ZWO help and they say it is probably a hardware problem. It is out of warrnaty of course though it has not had a lot of use. Just thought I would ask if anyone has had a similar issue and found a solution? thanks Brett
